Gets harder each year as the top 15 or 16 have definitely much better squads than the bottom 4 or 5.

To think not that long ago we were in the EFL with

Villa
Fulham
West Ham
Bournemouth
Brentford
Palace

All of whom have kicked on and sit in that comfortable mid table zone (or sometimes a little higher).

We would probably need at least 8 players to stay up and possibly a new manager. Farke?s style seems to work in the second tier but he hasn?t been the greatest success in top leagues.
