I think you can normally tell if you're likely to be comfortable enough

Or if you're set for a full-on slog. We finished 17th two seasons ago after flirting with the drop, but never looking in any real danger. I expected something similar this season, along the lines of where Sheff Wed are. They're not doing great, but barring any off-field fiascos, they'll be ok. But ourselves, Southampton, Charlton and Watford look set for a long hard winter, which I don't consider acceptable.
