My bottom 3 is;

QPR - no stomach for the fight and horrific run in, can see them ending up bottom.

Wigan - not good enough, haven't been for years and think we'll finally wave bye bye.

Wolves - rubbish, nuff said.

Think Bolton and Bkackburn will do just enough as they both seem to have a little ability and a desire to stay up.
 
Wigan, Wolves & QPR for me. Although I guess Bolton could run the latter close.

I suspect eventually the likes of Villa & Blackburn will have that little bit extra quality that the other 3/4 dont and end up 15th & 16th
 
Wolves are an absolute shambles since Mick left and they were struggling with him in charge.

Wigan are adrift, Martinez is the best thing about the club, he plays football the 'right' way. I feel sorry for Martinez.

Bolton have suffered with injuries and having players sold.

QPR are terrible, Mark Hughes isn't an impact manager.

Blackburn are terrible too, but are scoring goals.
 
I really dont get the love for Martinez :confused:

This is the guy that's been in charge of Wigan for what 3 years now and every season they've been fighting relegation, he's ultimately not taken them anywhere other than avoiding the drop for 2 seasons on the bounce. If he really was this great manager even with no funds surely by now he'd of got them into a mid table by now?
 
Wigan, Wolves, QPR.

Wigan and Wolves are just woeful, Mick would be able to keep Wolves up by the skin of their teeth.

I don't think the QPR don't have any bottle their players look pathetic. If Hughes was in charge from the start I think they'd have a chance but their players are just a joke. Jamie Mackie looks like the only player who gives a damn when he comes on the pitch.

There is only so much a manager can do with a **** team who don't enjoy playing together, playing infront of an almost empty stadium for every home game..

I don't think Martinez has done a brilliant job, but many other managers would have been unable to keep them up this long so he deserves some credit..

EDIT: Not sure about QPR, they have lots of experienced and talented individuals, however they just haven't jelled together as a team. If they can play together as a team, they will stay up, if they keep playing as individuals I can see them going down and not coming back for a long while.

But compare him with your manager and what your manager has managed to do with Norwich. All I hear is how Martinez is this great young manager and yet I look at Paul Lambert & Brendan Rodgers and to me the difference with them and Martinez is chalk and cheese

Lambert is one of the best managers out there, i would love to see him at a big club with funds.

Martinez is another Hodgson, talks a good game, looks okay on paper, in reality its all "show and lights" with nothing solid behind it.
 
I said in the Wolves thread a few weeks back before the recent Blackburn/Bolton wins, I think it will be QPR, Wolves & Wigan.
 
wolves - a shambles on and off the field. rode their luck last year, it has now ran out. in all honesty, they are not a premiership team.

bolton - who wants to watch them as a neutral? no one. wont be missed in the prem, been in it longer than they should have done. there are better candidates from teams chasing promotion.

wigan - play some alright stuff but it seems the owner has been resigned to the notion of relegation for 2 years now. little investment from players moved on.

qpr aren't safe by a long shot and i wouldn't want them to go down over the above 3 candidates as they haven't had a fair crack of the whip. wouldn't really notice if they did go though tbf. easily the weakest london team who seem to be in it for the TV money as opposed to building on something. don't have the spirit that norwich or swansea do and which is obviously needed to survive.
 
Martinez is just too nice, he needs a mean streak in him, he pretty much built the Swansea team and look how well they are doing, he was Wigan Legend as a player but as a Manager he has been hit and miss.

I mean at the start of the season just after staying up the season before with 2 wins in last two games, Wigan draw to Swansea Norwich (4 points dropped) and win against QPR then they went on a 8 game losing streak, so pretty much set the precedent for the season. Does not help losing top players like Valencia, Palacious and Nzogbia
