Positives:Going to be an interesting time for the three promoted clubs as all off them have a chance to stay up.  Cardiff seem to me at least to be the most likely to stay up as this team, most of it anyway would not have played in the Premiership before and therefore would not have a negative stigma about getting relegated or any fear about playing the big guns. Malky MacKay is a good young manager and with the support of the new owner Vincent Tan I think Cardiff with the talents of Craig Bellamy and Peter Wittingham in particular could score enough goals to stay up. It is great that Ian Holloway is back in the premiership and with their financial troubles over Palace will be well watch watching and Hull Tigers as they are now known which caused a stir amongst its supporters stumbled over the finishing line last year but it was a great achievement nonetheless and Steve Bruce has the experienced nous to lead Hull to safety this season.

Negatives: Cardiff have the best chance of the three to stay up. A good young team I do suspect they might take a few hidings but if they keep their home form up they can stay up. Holloway has moaned about signings falling through for Palace in recent weeks which indicates he does not believe his squad is strong enough to stay up in the premiership which I am sure does nit help his players either which he has currently. I think it will be similar to the campaign Holloway had with Blackpool great football but a lot of naivety as well when they are off the ball which will relegate them. Hulls big problem will be scoring they have tried to address that with the signing of Danny Graham on loan but after the season Graham had with Sunderland last season that is no sure bet. They will need one or two others up front but with limited resources that will be hard to do.

Predictions: Cardiff 17th, Palace 19th and Hull 20th.
