Which three teams do you think will finish at the bottom?

I have to admit, I didn't think Bolton would be struggling.

Although Swans are doing well at home, I don't think it will last. All new teams that get promoted do fairly well at the start of the season (except Derby haha) but most can't keep it up. I'm not entirely convinced of Norwich yet.

My three are Bolton, Blackburn and Swansea.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #1 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:31:58 PM »

Wigan
Blackburn
Norwich

For me, Norwich remind me a lot of Blackpool last season.

Rich99 · « **Reply #2 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:50:29 PM »

Unless they do something in January I think Wigan already look in a decent amount of trouble.

I'd go for Wigan, Blackburn and Norwich too.

I do hope that Norwich stay up though. I've never been a fan of propped up Wigan in the Premiership and I hope they go down to be honest.

BB74 · « **Reply #3 on:** December 04, 2011, 09:07:13 PM »

Wigan, Blackburn, Wolves.

HampshireBaggie · « **Reply #4 on:** December 04, 2011, 09:49:17 PM »

Wigan - I think their time is up.

Swansea - remind me of us under Mowbray.

Don't know who else, i think Kean will leave and Blackburn will stay up. They do have some good players.

Bolton maybe? Could be wolves or maybe Norwich will drop.

Long way to go yet, I wouldn't bet on anyone out of the bottom 12 at present.

You're right, it's still very much all to play for for many sides, including us.

Aixelsyd · « **Reply #7 on:** December 05, 2011, 01:14:42 AM »

very hard to call till after Jan... and we see who improves their squads

but as most have already said....

Wigan look on very shakey ground after a very good run in the Prem. You just feel their time is up.

Blackburn look to be a shambles on and off the field. If Kean stays well into the New Year I think they will go down.. Sack him now and they could get out of trouble BUT only if their Indian owners wise up.

Bolton I think is an aberation and while they won't get too far away from the trouble I think they will rise above it.

Norwich, Swansea and QPR seem to have their moments when you think they might just be OK but Jan activity will probably define their Season.. Invest and they can survive...

chipperclark · « **Reply #8 on:** December 05, 2011, 08:04:43 AM »

Wigan (because they have had their day and luck)

Norwich (they are the Blackpool..entertaining but a full season in the Prem will wear them down)

Blackburn(because they wont change managers,then it will be too late)

ran through this and came to the same conclusion as bb74, wigan (ran out of steam), blackburn ( a shambles) and wolves (just plain rubbish).

Baggies finished 14th and Man Utd won the league

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #10 on:** December 05, 2011, 02:01:52 PM »

Wigan
Blackburn

and either Norwich, Swansea or Sunderland. I'm not convinced Martin O'Neill can do his usual trick this time.Sunderland have no goal scorer...even Bendtner looks laboured and they way they fell apart against Wolves has all the marks of a side in crisis.

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2011, 03:15:10 PM »

WSBaggie · « **Reply #12 on:** December 05, 2011, 03:31:28 PM »

Wigan will stay up they have the fight and spirit and a few players with the ability. Last season everyone wrote them off as certainties with 5 games to go and everyones doing it now in November.

Don't get me wrong they are weak but for me it's Norwich, QPR and Blackburn (or Bolton if Kean goes)

hardtobeat · « **Reply #13 on:** December 05, 2011, 03:48:15 PM »

Wigan, Bolton and

???anybody from Stoke downward in the table,twist my arm and i would probably go for Swansea.The transfer window will be VERY important this season.

tuamigos · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2011, 03:56:49 PM »

Theres already an unhealthy gap opening up from 7th to 8th, could be 8 points if Liverpool win tonight.
Even at this stage of the season its a lot of points in this league.
I'll plump for Wigan, Swansea and I'd like to see Sunderland go now that stupid little gits took over but I think it could be Blackburn or Bolton.
Any 3 from 12 at this stage depends on what teams do in the transfer window.

BobTaylor · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2011, 04:06:06 PM »

I think us, wolves and villa all have a couple of class players that can keep us up.

Blackburn have a few winable games coming up in the next couple of weeks, they must win a couple of them at least.

zippyandbungle · « **Reply #22 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:58:48 AM »

Every year there is a simple theory to who will go down .
Usually if you have a decent frontline you will stay up (goals =points)
Of course a solid defence would help but not many in the bottom 6 at Christmas have one so....
At work I get the gang together , list the teams and ask them to name the frontlines , See below

Baggies (Pete/Long/Tchoyi) safe
Wolves (doyle/fletcher) safe
Swansea (

?) doomed
Sunderland (Bentdner

?) doomed (dependent on trans in jan )
Blackburn (Yakubu ) maybe enough
Wigan (

?) bye
Villa (bent agbowotsit) unfortunately enough but still struggling
Bolton (davies /Ngog

) down
Norwich (holt ??) down if Sunderland buy

I don't think that theory is quite right in fairness. You're right your chances of survival are much greater if you have a strike force which can score goals and a defence which can keep you at least 6-8 clean sheets. You mention Wigan as "bye" because they don't have the strike force yet they have continuously since their opening season in the Premier League managed to survive.

Swansea also have the ability to keep clean sheets, they've already got quite a few more than us meaning they'll draw a lot more games than they win or lose meaning they'll always be in that hunt. Although, Norwich, Swansea and QPR don't have star name strikers they're doing the business so far and that's all that counts.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:15:14 PM »

Graham has scored a few goals for Swansea this season, they are pretty decent at the back. Vorm has been a great signing.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #25 on:** December 13, 2011, 08:37:11 AM »

Bolton have already let in thirty six goals, if they let in another thirty six then they will go down.

Swansea need to improve the away form, there home form has been excellent but surley they will lose a few home games soon.

daen23 · « **Reply #30 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:17:05 AM »

Wolves - no creativity in that side, and little quality, Jarvis and Fletcher aside
Wigan - Don't create enough chances, forwards suck, and I don't like their uniform
Blackburn - Complete disaster; midfield cannot pass for peanuts, and their best player is Yakubu (says it all, really)

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #31 on:** December 29, 2011, 02:23:15 PM »

Bolton let to many goals in, they may have won four games this season but they havnt drawn any.

Wolves- Playing with 10 men everyweek isnt going to help their cause,
Karl Henry is an absolute donky.

Blackburn-Absolutely no decent strikers apart from Yakubu who makes Ebanks-Blake look thin.

Norwich-Decent start for them but they`ll sink like a stone now the novelty has warn off.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 29, 2011, 03:53:14 PM »

I see Norwich going the way of hoe the likes of Burnely, Hull and Blackpool have all gone, Good start but a lot of the Norwich players havnt played in the Premiership before this season.

PortsmouthBaggie · « **Reply #35 on:** December 29, 2011, 09:06:59 PM »

18. Bolton
19. QPR
20. Blackburn

socalbaggie · « **Reply #36 on:** December 30, 2011, 01:01:35 AM »

Blackburn - Although their fans have plenty to be upset about their over the top actions during matches can't possibly do the team any good. They are not helping their cause out by any means and because of this I will have no sympathy whatsoever when they go down.

Bolton - Defensively just terrible (41) goals against. Unless their defense is severely corrected I don't see how they could stay up. Well they could start scoring 5-6 goals a game but I'm sure we can agree that ain't happening.

Norwich - Good football but can't see them holding out all season long.

I don't mind Wigan one way or the other but I do like Martinez. I just feel like they have been unlikely to stay before and I feel, just like other years they will somehow pull it off again. They seem to really get their heads down and squeek the results that just put them safe.
Now although not my fist choices I would not be surprised to see QPR or Swansea fighting for their survival or Wolves for that matter. Sunderland I think will be safe with O'Neill in there and he no doubt will bring a few players in during the coming transfer window to help with their cause.

leeiswba · « **Reply #37 on:** December 30, 2011, 09:34:00 AM »

I dont think Norwich will go down at all I reckon they will finish 10-15 and stay up comfortably. I have seen nothing from them at all to suggest that the will freefall where as in Blackpool and Burnley were already on there way down now. There last results have been loss at home to Tottenham which is no suprise as most teams will lose to them then two great draws away to Wolves and Everton which they should have won both and then beating Newcastle 4-2. Sorry, cant see them going anywhere.

I think:

QPR
Blackburn
Swansea

Bolton , Wigan and QPR.

QPR lack any real threat upfront, Bolton are awful at the back and will be even worse when Cahill signs for Chelsea and Wigan are just a poor side.

Blackburn, Wolves, Albion , Norwich and Swansea all to be involved in the mixer.

They were saying on the radio earlier that there's often one team that looked safe around this time, but then dropped through the league.

Blackpool were 12th on this day last season.

They tipped Villa to possibly be the team this year. I'd love it to be true, but I think they'll be okay, sadly.

Unfortunatley, Villa will be fine as they have the knack of beating teams below them.
