One reason I think we'll stay up?

Malky has made us hard to beat

As long as we avoid defeat to mid table sides, and beat the relegation fodder while pulling the odd shocker from the bag, we'll stay up comfortably. Bounce-back-ability will be a big thing next year as well

It depends how we buy. Malky done well last summer and I hope he does well this summer. Spend it wisely, going for a bit of everything, from experience, to big signings, free transfers etc. If we buy like Southampton, we will stay up.

To be fair Malky had a shocker in the transfer market last year. He managed to bring in the right players to get us promoted but he spent 40% of his budget on Maynard and Velikonja. There is no way Maynard should have got past the dossier test with his injury record. He can't afford to waste 40% of his budget this summer, he pretty much needs to spend every penny wisely.

It's higher than 40% if you add Kiss in aswell.

And we definitely don't have the budget to spend like Southampton

There are no easy games in the premiership, so my advice would be avoid defeat to all the sides, get 28/30 points by xmas and you stand a good chance of staying up,

Bloody hell, 30 points by christmas? Its widely agreed 40 points is safety, so i would take that every day of the week

after xmas you will not be an unknown quantity and sides will have a good idea on how to set up against you, and points are much harder to come by, so you need to get as many as you can first half of the season
