    This is where I think everyone will finish this season after thinking long and hard.

    1..Bolton...................Were improving game upon game last season, good young manager and decent squad
    2..Reading.................Very strong side who I think were unlucky a little to come down
    -------------------------------------------
    3..Wigan...................Another strong side who should bounce back so long as they give Owen Coyle time to settle
    4..Watford................All hinging on how their new signings adapt to the English game, the last crop did it very well.
    5..Forest...................Pains me to say that Billy Davies has got them back to being title contenders.
    6..QPR......................I don't think Harry will have it all his way and will get sacked if they're ever outside the top 6.
    -------------------------------------------
    7..Ipswich..................Mick McCarthy is a championship manager. Just don't think they'll quite make the top 6.
    8..Derby....................Looking an increasingly competitive side. Still not sold on Cloughie jr but he's got the backing.
    9..Leicester................I think 9th is the highest Leicester can hope for this season. Pearson's not good enough imo.
    10.Blackburn..............If Gary Bowyer is given the chance, Blackburn could challenge the top 6, if not, who knows.
    11.Charlton...............Quiet in the summer but have a solid side and decent manager. Mid table should be a formality.
    12.Brighton...............Also quiet in terms of transfers, all dependant on if the new manager settles. Mid table at best.
    13.Leeds...................Again, quiet in the summer, but Bates finally leaving may just sort Leeds out, not convinced.
    14.Huddersfield..........Very busy in the summer, think Robins has finally got the budget he wanted.
    15.Barnsley...............Last seasons experience may just push us on, think we'll be lower mid table, good season.
    16.Bournemouth........Going to take a couple more signings for them to be as good as the bookies think.
    17.Wednesday...........They need a striker, but I think they'll benefit from last seasons good run in, as we will.
    18.Middlesbrough.......Not convinced, looking increasingly weaker and more likely to be relegation candidates this year.
    19.Burnley.................Their season hinges on Charlie Austin staying, which he won't.
    20.Blackpool...............Another squad getting weaker. Not convinced with Paul Ince either
    21.Doncaster..............Not inspired by Paul Dickov's appointment and 4th bottom may be generous.
    -------------------------------------------
    22.Birmingham............A poor side getting weaker, I can't see them being much above 20th all season.
    23.Yeovil.....................Gary Johnson struggled in this division with a bigger budget, hope he can keep Yeovil up though.
    24.Millwall....................Losing Kenny jacket could be fatal, few decent signings but goals could be an issue

    Think Austin's gone to QPR - Burnley down a place or two?
