The Jacks will not win more than 9 games in the Premier league this season.

Pleasure.
I do not think that the Brighton or Man City results in themselves tell us much about how CCFC and Swansea will perform this season. Things should be a lot clearer by the end of September.
CCFC players and management (e.g Earnie) have asked for a little patience from fans in the early games and we would be wise to listen to that request.
Hopefully, today's game will get us back to winning ways.

We will sign the additional players before the window closes and improve as the team gains experience as a unit. Just three of the players Brighton used, including one sub, are new to their team this season (Vincelot, Hoskins and Mackail-Smith). By contrast, seven of the CCFC players used, including one sub, are new to the team - and that statistic excludes Gerrard as a returnee.
The Wigan game (rather than the Man City game) will provide a better indicator on how Swansea are likely to perform this season. I wouldn't underestimate their potential to win at least 11/12 games and stay up. I hope that we will get to play them in the Premiership next year - that can only be good for Welsh football in general.
Personally, I think that both clubs can do better than you predict, but it is probably 3-5 weeks too early to tell.
