All depends on players in.

With the current squad, bottom 3.

Weak in Central Midfield with only Downes good enough.
No fit Centre Forward. Armstrong is not a CF. BBD is a Left Winger.
And McCarthy in goal. Nuff said on that.

Do the same poll on 1st September.

We thought that we had the answers, It was the questions we had wrong.

The font of all football wisdom (no, not any of our Twitter Influencers but the delightful Mr Collymore) has us finishing bottom. Anything above that will be a ‘financial’ bonus since places make prizes

As Wizzler and Chesham have said , it very much depends on who's in goal for us. If we're stuck with the same keepers as the last time we were in the Premier League, McCarthy and Bazunu, then our position will be the same as it was then, but if we get a better goalkeeper, which shouldn't be too hard, we might well avoid the drop.

That's true at one end of the pitch - but we need a proper goal scorer at the other end who's good for 15 goals.

People seem to think that if we recruit a keeper that isn't wanted by any other PL teams then that will keep us up. Not sure I understand the logic there. There are only 1 or 2 keepers available who are PL standard and they will be difficult and expensive to land.

Even if we do manage that, we are still below PL standard across most of the rest of the first team, let alone the squad, with little money available to spend.

Blackburn have one that all (experts/pundits) are saying will be in the Prem before the end of the window. He got another couple last night
And 22 has mentioned him so many times it's clear the club don't look at The Ugly for guidance!

I think the keeper situation is exaggerated to some extent due to how we think Russ / the team are gonna play. If we persist with the Tippy Tappy and pîss about approach then naturally we are gonna struggle. If we tell the keeper to ‘get rid asap’ then it may slightly improve our chances by one or two percent

Depends on players in and points deductions to other sides, but as things stand we're the worst side - on paper - in the division so i'd have to go bottom three for that reason alone.

Obviously if Leicester are hit with a points deduction, Everton implode from a lack of buyer or a.n other club gets point deduction then maybe 4th bottom.

If we sign a goal scorer, a good keeper and a creative midfielder then also maybe just outside.

Either way the aim of the club has to be just outside bottom three and bollocks to talking up anything else because that's totally unrealistic

If and it’s a big If, Everton get another deduction, it will only be for one or two points maximum. The club being up for sale is neither here nor there, it’s been up for sale for a few years now.

This is the trap that Luton had last season, constantly thinking they they will be kept up due to other clubs getting deductions whilst getting battered most weeks. All the while they were having their hair ruffled by a load of people on the media about how plucky and brave they were.

If you don't get a new owner, won't that mean you won't be able to pay the bills and therefore could well go into admin?

Weren't a lot of the bills paid for last season by a potential owner who then pulled out? Sounds like a great ruse tbf. Next time I put a house on the market I will get anyone interested in it to start paying the gas bill as soon as they've looked round the place.

The whole thing is a farce. Like last season we will see points reductions for clubs. Except for Man C who will be fined. Don’t want to upset the Sky / Premier League deals with Middle Eastern countries. And how Chelsea are getting away with it is astonishing.

Let’s be honest if we were fans of any other club we’d be saying that Southampton will be one of the three that will get relegated.

It’s only because we are fans of Saints that sometimes our heart rules and some say will finish 17th or higher.

We are rightly one of the favourites to go straight back down and it’s very hard to think of 3 clubs we will finish above.

Having said all that I can see Forest, Brentford, Brighton, Wolves and Leicester all struggling with us. A lot say Ipswich but I’ve a feeling they’ll surprise a few.

The euphoria of winning promotion threw up an optimism that with a few shrewd deals we might be able to be competitive in this league and at the first poll this fan thought we might finish as high as 14th.
As things have progressed (or not) since then, a 17th place final position would be brilliant.
It’s going to be tough. Who is going to step up?

I started a thread on here a few weeks ago with a prediction that we would just about stay up.

However a lot will need to happen in the next two and a bit weeks for that to happen.

Said it before and will say it again; August is the most important month of the season for us.

As things currently stand, we are hardly any better than last season, when we finished 4th in the Championship.

We are destined to finish bottom without 4 or 5 signings to go straight into the first-team.

Be it loans, free transfers, whatever.

I do think we will fight. Downes, Stephens, Armstrong etc are fighters and will give it their all. We have one of the weakest squads, but I think we will give it more of a go than when we went down. I like this team much more than.previous seasons. I predict it will be a relegation battle but we will fight and could just do it.

Everton’s finances are in a mess but there’s no risk of them going into admin, just into more debt.

There was a Saints fan on five live earlier talking about their chances for this season, along with an Ipswich fan. Both seemed to think that points deductions could be a factor in them staying up.

How crap is modern football that it’s come to this. That’s not having a go at the Saints fan, just the bleak situation of all fans outside the snaky six. Meanwhile Chelsea are doing whatever they want.

He’s the one who makes us play tippy tappy in our own area which (no matter how capable our back four might be) requires a keeper with certain key qualities which McCarthy doesn’t have. Martin IS responsible for that.

Exactly. If all we wanted was a good shot stopper, that would have been easy e.g. the fee for Johansson the ex Rotherham keeper was said to be about £1m. Even we can afford that.

I also suspect that good keepers who are looking at a loan will be wary of us due to RM's record. His teams, including us last season, concede a lot of goals because of his style and his "principles". It's inevitable that we will concede another bucket full this year, even if we were to stay up. No loan goalkeeper wants that on their CV, or for the highlight reel to consist mostly of them picking the ball out of the net.
