What type of season do you think these teams will have?
I always think that the 3 new teams bring a certain personality to their first season, it's been one of my favourite parts of the league since we've been here. Here's my predictions:
QPR: I think these will be a little bit like a dirtier version of Burnley in the second half of their season. Not quite enough quality to prevent teams from scoring even though I think they'll get a few scalps at Loftus Road, not quite enough from preventing them from relegation though.
Norwich: I've got a funny feeling that Norwich will be a steady team next season, picking up results that we'd be jealous of like a tricky away win at Everton or Villa. I think they'll get enough points through the odd 1-0 win and draws to avoid relegation.
Swansea: I think these will have a flying start, similar to Hull, people saying they play football the right way and lauding their manager. They get a really good half season points tally which if doubled would have them finishing about 9th but a poor second half of the season sees them only narrowly avoiding relegation.
I don't think I've ever been right about these mind.

QPR and Swansea will go. Agree with you on Norwich.

QPR will be exactly like Burnley, picking up many good results against top teams but in the end just not good enough to avoid relegation.
Norwich will be like Hull, excellent first half to the season bad second half, in the end have just enough points to stay up.
Swansea will be like Blackpool, everyone fancies them because they play good football (apparently) but they're a shit team with probably one star player which will see them safely into the Championship next season.

For me I think QPR & Swansea are certain to go down; QPR are just a team full of Huckerby's too good for The Championship; but aren't good enough for the Premier League. Swansea like people have said will be like Blackpool; but I think teams will expect it so will struggle. Norwich have momentum, good side which work hard & they have one of the best up & coming managers in the country; think they will stay up.
