Next 6 games - early relegation battle....

[Goddy]

So, just go with this rather than picking fault (as, for example, I've not included Newcastle or Sunderland who will probably do OK in their next 6 games) but here's who the (in my view) early relegation candidates have in the next 6 games. Personally I think we'll be in the relegation zone until the Leeds game but on 9 points after the next 6 games and above all the other teams in the list below. Anyhow, here you go with the fixtures and welcome your thoughts/comments on which teams might struggle....

We've certainly been handed the toughest start to the season.

We've certainly been handed the toughest start to the season.

....but that's coming to an end and if we're still in touch (with at least a point against Forest) I think we'll be competitive not just in the next 6 games but across the season.

Sunderland will be more than involved in the relegation battle.

Sunderland will be more than involved in the relegation battle.

Indeed. If we can beat other teams easily, as we did in the end against Sunderland, staying up will be a doddle
