Hull, Stoke, and West Brom

Impresed with them?, they done what you expected of them?, think any of them have what it takes to stay up?

I've been impressed by Hull's start of the season... But whether they can keep it up long enough to be safe I don't knoew... They look bright though. Stoke look like straight back to me. They've had some good results but I doubt very severly whether they can keep that up.... I'm concerned for west brom... I think they play nice football, but so did watford a couple of years back and they were relegated... I still think they have a strong squad though...

Hull remind me a lot of Reading in their first season and I think that they can keep the momentum going enough for them to stay up.

West Brom haven't really got going at all yet. Dunno if they have what it takes.

WBA got some good results. Beating West Ham and Boro. Didn't expect them to get results there...can't see them scoring many goals though :S

i have been very impressed by hull so far, especially the result against arsenal. phil brown has made a few astute signings indeed and hes got them playing as a unit.

westbrom have not caught the eye and i fancy them along with stoke who have not impressed me with their negative tactics to go back to where they came from

West Ham were in crisis when West Brom beat them. Middlesbrough is a good win, dunno why they mess up against the lower teams all of the time.

Difference between Hull and Stoke is that Hull are prepared to have a go.

i think spurs will finally get their act together and secure a mid table finish. i think you maybe right about newcastle tho treb.

also you could probably throw bolton into the mix as well

I dont see spurs or toon going down, they will pick enough points i think. I know both clubs are in a bit of trouble but i think they will both pull through in the end.

Yep you're right mate, the spurs one was just out of frustration at them (such underachievers).

If you consider Newcastle and Bolton in a relegation battle and I think they're both teams that could easily be down there come the business end, then which do you think out of Hull, Stoke and West Brom are gonna be on a level or better or worse than them?

hello mate, you never know these days. I agree about spurs but there's no guarantee about newcastle, some big clubs gone down in the past in recent years. Newcastle could just be the latest...

True but Newcastle have a hell of lot of injuries, when the players a fit they should be ok but they do need to sort out the manager and board situation. Cant belive they have turned into such a shambles.

No chance of Newcastle and Spurs going down. Remember last season...Bolton and Fulham looked doomed up until about 3 weeks to go but they managed to just do enough.
