Bris Vegas Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 There is no way Leeds will be top six, they simply don't have the players capable of making top six. Also there is no way Brentford will be as low as that, they've got the nucleus of a good team and their scouting network, while controversial and often criticised, has produced really good results. I can see Villa dropping into midtable. Wolves will be an unknown this season. Huddersfield. I just don't rate them at all. Feel they ship far too many goals, and I'm not sure why people are suggesting they could be a darkhorse. Because of David Wagner? If anything they've become worse under him. Wigan will be another unpredictable one. Could surprise a few. Think Newcastle and Norwich are nailed on for top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Cant see Norwich being #nailed# on for top 2. They were awful last season and a poorer team now then when then went up last time. Play off contender maybe, but nailed on????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braveheart I also think Brighton will lose to us on Saturday. As I've already said on this forum I think we are playing them at a very good time this season. As last season when we met them at the iPro in December they were on the back of a 20 game unbeaten run from the start of the season, & we all know how important momentum is. I still think they'll be right up there come next May though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Reckon it'll be something like 1) Newcastle 2) Norwich 3) Villa 4) Brighton 5) Weds 6) Us or Bristol. There's no way Villa will finish outside the top 6 , especially with Mccormack incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham have had McCormack for the last couple of years and have lost plenty of games because they're leakier than a sieve and would consistently concede as soon as Scott Parker got tired. Villa haven't exactly sorted their defence (with Ciaran Clark possibly off to Newcastle) or midfield out, and all the players who couldn't care less last season appear to still be there...

Papahet Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 On the another hand. Villa (like ourselves) have got pretty much the same squad as last season's. A pre season together might just kick them into gear. Brought in a new manager (again, like ourselves) who might just get the best out of his players and change their mentality into a winning one. Mccormack, Gestede, Kozak and Ayew upfront is hardly a mid- bottom half strike force. Whereas Tommy Elphick will only improve the defence. Veretout, Okore, Grealish, Sanchez and Bacuna are also player's who should thrive in this division. They'll improve the squad by the end of the window. Can't believe people think they'll struggle. Massive club and now with a wealthy owner who should have no problem attracting good player's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good strikeforce, I'll give you that - but they'll struggle to get the most out of all three (see Bent/Martin/Ince/Russell/Weimann etc last season!) and I think the rest seems like it hinges on their management dramatically overhauling a rotten heart over the course of the summer. Which definitely could happen... I just don't think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
