Based on odds bookies think we will finish in the top ten..... https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/championship/winner I thought they would still have us down as a relegation candidate like every other season we play in the second tier.
Looks about right to me. Apart from Forest at 20-1, wft?! Think they'll be bottom eight again, as they're in a complete financial pickle. Also think Luton will have another solid season.
I think they’ve made a balls up of their managerial appointment though. My dark horses for relegation.
I think they'll do well this season as long as nothing major happens to derail them. They finished very strongly.
1 Fulham 2 West Brom 3 QPR 4 Bournemouth 5 Sheffield Utd 6 Barnsley 7 Stoke 8 Middlesbrough 9 Luton 10 Blackburn 11 Swansea 12 Cardiff 13 Millwall 14 Hull 15 Coventry 16 Derby 17 Reading 18 Nott'm Forest 19 Blackpool 20 Birmingham 21 Bristol City 22 Preston 23 Huddersfield 24 Peterborough
Is that your forecast league table? Looks reasonable, although not sure QPR are good enough to take their later season form and carry it over a whole season. Reading will definitely struggle IMHO, and I think Bournemouth may also not do so well. Mid table next season, relegation and back to obscurity the season after.
Yes, was a first-pass attempt at a prediction. There are too many that could go either way, Preston and Bournemouth being examples. There are also teams where a change of manager could change the whole complexion. On the whole, I can't see any of the relegated teams struggling too much to get back up.
I think it’s a bit early to predict, as comings and goings of players and managers over the next two months can change team’s fortunes.
