Definitely possible they could lose all of the above, Id say average points would be 4. Away from home is always hard in the premiership and if they are bottom of the league after 15 games the fans will likely turn on Di Canio. He can blow at any moment and with a new chairman that brought in 13 new players so far he could easily shit himself and make a panic decision.
He is 8-1 so perhaps not value, but I feel like he is certain to fall to at least 4-1 or perhaps better so would be an excellant spot to punt big now with the intention of laying in the future?
What do people think?

So the "average" scores that I have gave with little thought would give them 15.7 points after 18 games which would be very scary for the chairmain.
The "what I would predict" would give them 12 points and almost certainly bottom of the table. Even if they picked up 3 extra wins in this tough run of games they would have 21 points and really "below par"
All the players they have brought in are unproven. Its likely Di Canio will cause some rift and they lack a lot of quality in defence and midfield.
