    Don't know if you can say dark horse anymore so apologies if not.

    It's the first year (apart from L1) that I can remember when we're not either the pundits, journos or bookies as certs for relegation.

    I know there's lots of transfer dealings to go yet but anyone got a team you think ''theyre in with a shout"?

    I think it's the weakest Championship in years but the lack of crowd mite suit the smaller clubs.

    US ....... if we get these next few weeks right.

    And ‘Dark Horse’ is a bit outdated now.
    The more acceptable term these days is
    ‘equestrian coloured’.

    I wouldn’t say dark horse but Stoke are my pick to win the league.

    Beyond that it’s the most open champions I’ve seen us participate in.

    We can't say dark horse now, ffs.

    Barnsley, Stoke and Middlesbrough will all do better than 19/20, imho

    Fancy Mark Robins' Coventry to have a decent season and finish top half.

    Suprised by the Cov shouts tbh. But maybe momentum will help ?!?
    But downward momentum and losing top players may see Bournemouth struggle ?!?

    Barnsley if recruitment is sensible and team is not dismantled wholesale. Worth a bet for top half finish or even play offs all being well.
