I do not think we will get relegated but I am also slightly worried about how bad things could get. Early in the season under Sheehan I thought he was not the man long term but would usher us to a safe and sightly dull midtable finish. That was partly because of my expectations for the signings, which is dissipating by the week. Now we have a complete unknown in charge and so that is equally exciting and terrifying. He might be the next great coach and we could be looking at the play-offs by February or he could be miles off the standard and we could be looking for a third manager of the season.
It would not shock me if Norwich and Sheffield United have a surge at some point but hopefully Portsmouth and Oxford are weak enough to stay below us and QPR could plummet too. There may not be many great teams in the league this season but there are also very few in complete crisis which would make me more confident.
