Sheffield Uniteds main goal threat is 35 yr old Billy Sharp. At that age, the question will be how well they plan his rest periods as he's not going to be able to do a full season.
Bournemouth have a bigger squad than most of the league so I expect them to be top 3. And they seem to be able to spend money when they need to, even though they dropped down from the Prem with £80 million debt.
WBA have the money though their fans comment regularly that they're skint. They're playing the only way their manager knows, long balls and set pieces. A good half of this league plays the same way so they have a good chance of playoffs.
Fulham.... flattering to deceive. Thought they'd be much stronger than they have been. Big squad, seem to have a transfer fund to be jealous of. Top 6 but I wouldn't expect anything explosive.
Us ? We'll be safe and anything up to 7th place would be amazing. I actually do fear us being promoted as we are so underweight, we'd be easy targets for all the existing Prem teams. This should be another year of consolidation and improvement. If we can keep everyone together, next season should see the push to get promoted.
The owners lack of flexibility could cost us. January tends to be a poor window anyway And unlike other years we shouldn’t have to sell as embargo rules don’t relate in this league to turnover against wages
You would hope they’d pump some money in to address weak areas but I won’t be holding my breath
And this is where I think things will change for the better. Seeing Joy at the game yesterday (Sky fixated on showing Fishy and she was sat next to him), I've never seen her so happy including after the cup win and the playoff final. I hope/think Robins hasn't just changed the fortunes of the team but also changed Joy's opinion of the club.
