We’re just past the 20% point of the season so a decent dataset to work from.
Looks to me that the following are the teams who are going to be involved and we need to keep above three of them: Sunderland, palace, Fulham, Cov, hull.
Think Forest are far too good and will climb the table. Likewise spurs and Bournemouth.
Don’t see anyone else falling down the table.
Man Utd are shite but you’d expect them to pick up under their next manager, but they could be like spurs were last year.
I’m increasingly confident.
Edit: forgot about the cheats from the other side of Manchester.

Agree with all of those teams. I wouldn't discount Everton, who have a very good starting eleven but a paper thin squad. They can't afford to stop many more points before the January window. |  |

I agree. Sunderland, Cov, Palace, Hull and Fulham will be in the mix. If we can be 6 pts clear of the bottom 5 at any stage, then I think we will be ok. That potentially needs just one semi-decent run, which we are quite capable of. |  | | |

Palace the most likely to make managerial change I think.
There’s also probably one of those clubs that just massively figure it out with their squad like Wolves did in 2024. |  |

Last time we scored 6 in the 1st 8 games, we’ve doubled that this time round. We’ve got a real chance. |  |

Agree, but I don't see all those clubs turning it around. | | | |

PL seems way way tighter this year. Cov fans are all doom and gloom but they’re really not that far off us. Assuming the cheats of Manchester are deducted into oblivion, it’s two from probably 10 clubs to join them. I do think our quality will be just enough to see us to 15th or so. But it would only take a couple injuries for things to take a turn. Palace look rotten but assume a new manager will be there soon. Sunderland struggling and have Europe too. Cov still seem to be relying on their championship players and Newcastle home game aside are struggling to create. Fulham have too much quality although it was only two weeks ago their fans wanted their manager out.
Summary; it’s going to be exhausting. |  |

I think you’re close to being right.
I hate to sound like I’m promoting some kind of conspiracy theory but I suspect that Man U will be seen to safety by the kind of refereeing decisions such as the ridiculous Harry Maguire incident. There’s a clear unconscious bias there in my eyes opinion. They should have more than enough to get out trouble without it though.
Take them out of the mix with Tottenham. A few injuries could see Everton dragged into it quite quickly. | | | |

Are Leeds good enough not to get sucked into it? I haven't been paying much attention to them but their results haven't looked too special and whenever I've seen them they haven't looked up to much | | | |

Yeah there’s certain players, Lukic, enciso, ouatarra, palacios, who we really want to keep fit.
Our approach to the January window will be interesting. The summer recruitment was hugely impressive. [Post edited 25 Oct 18:40]

If Forest continue their toothlessness in front of goal, it's going to cripple any chance of them improving their position much.
With Bournemouth they've beaten ten-man, last-place Sunderland and the rapidly disintegrating Man Utd (sans their best player). Not sure how much that tells of genuine progress.
Spurs have picked up a couple of wins, but one of their victims was struggling Coventry. |  |

Nuns chuff tight.
At this stage 2 years ago the bottom 4 had 9 points between them, this year it’s 24.
There’s 6 point difference between 6th place and bottom. 2 years ago it was 13. | |

Bournemouth are miles too good to be worse than 17 other teams this year. | |

Its a point as old as football, but goals win games.
It's why I'm confident (ish) that we'll be ok, as we are scoring plenty. |  |

Yes not a chance they’re going down. It’s where most predicted from the outset: Hull, Cov, us, Fulham, Palace and Sunderland. With city taking one of those places it’s 2 from 6 | | | |
