5 wins and a couple of draws......So he needs sixteen points from eleven games to equal last seasons total of 48 or seventeen to beat it!
Again would be exceptional work from Moyes considering the state we were in.

Agree.I can realistically see the promoted teams going straight back down most years going forward there is a gap that is expanding all the time.
That's just actually made me feel a little sick. I've been strutting around confidently and now all I can think of is the most Everton thing to ever happenwhilst this is factually correct leicester won 7 of their last 9 games in 2014/2015 to stay up and west ham won 7 of their last 9 games in 2006/2007 to stay up
as john cena says "never give up"
Teams like Bournemouth, Forest, Fulham and Brentford are established teams- until they aren't. 15 years ago Bolton, Blackburn etc were. 10 years ago you had Swansea and Stoke.Agree.
Leeds have a chance especially as Wolves will surely lose Cunha. They could be in a bit of a state last season.
The other two promoted teams will likely be bottom two.
Problem for the promoted teams is that clubs like Bournemouth, Forest, Fulham and Brentford are established Premier League teams.
The likes of Tottenham and Utd will surely improve.
Even taking out my bias - Everton look a bit of a sleeping giant given the revenue from the new stadium and ability to spend from this summer.
Leeds would have the best chance as of today. But they are going to allow way too many goals.I can realistically see the promoted teams going straight back down most years going forward there is a gap that is expanding all the time.
I don't disagree with you but it's unlikely to happen for a few years. E.g., the difference in quality between Fulham and Sheffield United is huge.Teams like Bournemouth, Forest, Fulham and Brentford are established teams- until they aren't. 15 years ago Bolton, Blackburn etc were. 10 years ago you had Swansea and Stoke.
Granted, the four of them look good right now. Forest and Bournemouth especially. I have a feeling Brentford are getting closer to outstaying their welcome though. When Frank leaves them they could be in big relegation trouble.
Also, isn't Wolves in serious financial trouble?Teams like Bournemouth, Forest, Fulham and Brentford are established teams- until they aren't. 15 years ago Bolton, Blackburn etc were. 10 years ago you had Swansea and Stoke.

Agree and given Bournemouth's revenue it surely isn't sustainable.Also, isn't Wolves in serious financial trouble?
I think Bournemouth and Forest will fall off next season... They've been overachieving, imo.
Yeah, I think Brentford are a little bit built on sand- take out Wissa, Mbuemo and Frank himself there's not an awful lot there, and all three will likely be targeted this summer. They are not a long way from being relegation candidates.Teams like Bournemouth, Forest, Fulham and Brentford are established teams- until they aren't. 15 years ago Bolton, Blackburn etc were. 10 years ago you had Swansea and Stoke.

Wolves will also lose Cunha in the summer I think. Tough season coming up for them next year.Also, isn't Wolves in serious financial trouble?

The fact we were with them just shows how appalling the last manager was.Correct, I didn't think of that but as far as points totals go the bottom 3 have improved the total by 1 point from 16 When Dyche was sacked to 17 now.. They are truly horrific.
It feels like when not if with Brentford. I rate all three of those you mentioned, at least one of Wissa and Mbuemo will be poached this summer, and Frank must be thinking about a new challenge soon. He's a promising manager and his stock is high right now, but Brentford are starting to stagnate a bit- I think their team has peaked now. Its the right time for him to jump ship towards a team competing in Europe.Yeah, I think Brentford are a little bit built on sand- take out Wissa, Mbuemo and Frank himself there's not an awful lot there, and all three will likely be targeted this summer.

Throw Palace in there too, they've just sort of hung around the last few years on the back of a small number of good players, lose Guehi and / or Eze and there's not much there either.
31 points from 19 games would be exceptional. (18 games realistically as Villa is harsh to count against him).5 wins and a couple of draws......
