Bolton

are my tip for this division this season.

I think Kev Davies will rip thus league apart and Coyle knows this division.

I reckon they are def top 6 in my opinion.

Agree, a good manager and some decent players.

should win it at a canter if they can keep their best players.

I reckon Wolves.

Most of their players are good championship players so not many of them will be picked off by prem clubs and quite a few of them have been promoted a few times from the league so they know what they're doing.


Blackburn will be midtable at best, bottom half/relegation battle at worst and I see Bolton finishing in play-offs but bottling it.

I think the Wolves managers inexperience at this level will count against them

we'll win the league

Cardiff City to win the league this season!

That's the only thing that counts against them imo.


They should have signed Bruce back in the prem, he's good at establishing prem clubs and he knows how to get promoted.

That will be a good signing for them......

I think Bolton will be one of the top 2 for the automatic places, I can't see too many radical changes happening to the club. Their parachute payments will help to alleviate their wage bill and they are probably still holding onto the Gary Cahill transfer fee too.

Kevin Davies will tear the league up while being supplied by the likes of Petrov, they also have other formidable midfield players with the likes of Stuart Holden, Mark Davies and Chris Eagles, all of who started most games in the EPL last season.

They are suspect in defence but i'm sure Owen Coyle will address that issue with a shrewd signing or 2.

Anything less than top 2 would be a disappointment for Bolton but as we saw last season with West Ham, just because you dropped down from the Premiership doesn't mean you have the right to go up automatically and it's going to be a tough test for Bolton.

At the moment they look a good bet but what players will be left for the season ?

£94m in debt and looking for investors, players on Prem wages will have to be sold (Gartside has already admitted as much). I can't really see players like Petrov hanging around.

I still think their squad should be strong enough but I'm not sure I'd be putting my hard earned cash on them just yet

Sticking your neck out there annis eh

I reckon they will do a west ham and fail a top 2 at the end and go up via play offs.

Blackburn will walk the division IMO

Nah, not unless they f**k Steve Kean off by November

None of the relegated will go up automatically.

Ricketts feels Bolton can win Championship title
Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Mon, 07/16/2012 - 13:38

Sam Ricketts suggests that Bolton are capable of taking out the Championship next season.

The Trotters were relegated from the Premier League last season for the first time in 11 years and 30-year old full-back Ricketts is targeting an immediate return to the top flight.

"Getting relegated hurt everyone but it has happened and now we need a positive outlook. It's not worth dwelling on last season,” he told The Bolton News.

"A few of the lads have gone up via the play-offs but personally speaking, I haven't won a title. That would be something I think we could achieve if we kept this squad together.

"I don't think there are deep-lying problems at the club, or sweeping changes needed.

"I'm sure, like me, the rest of the lads want to get back to the Premier League as soon as possible because we wall want to play there. So we need to use this season as a springboard and push on.

"Games generally come two a week, thick and fast, so it's very important we get into a rhythm as quickly as possible.

"There are quite a few teams who have been in the Premier League and got caught here - Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest - so this season is your big chance. We need to adapt quickly and take it."

Bolton have added a keeper to their squad -

I know it's too early to tell but i think Blackburn will be top 2, City may sneak a spot near the top because we're looking at some quality players but as I said it's too early to even guess where we could finish.
I think Bolton will be 3rd, think we will see a few surprises this season, Brighton and Leeds could surprise a few. Wolves should be up there in play offs at least.

I got a feeling Charlton will suprise many in the up-coming season, and lets not forget Sheffield Wednesday they been spending as well. Should be interesting!!!

you alright azz? long time no speak
Charlton will be tricky but they haven't brought in anyone that's caught my eye. Sheff Wed i think will surprise a few your right

I have no doubt that any of the 3 relegated from the prem will be in the top 2.

Charlton will be tricky but they haven't brought in anyone that's caught my eye. Sheff Wed i think will surprise a few your right

I'm good, hows things with you?
I believe Charlton will do well, they'll carry that momentum like Southampton and Norwich have done, when they didnt sign players. Whereas, Sheffield will do well, but just fade away towards the end like Brighton.

You going to any of the pre-season games?

we'll win the league

We will definitely pushing for top imo

we have got to get inthe top to early and stay there .sheff wednesday leeds will be a threat this year i think

I'm alright mate, tbh i don't think i can afford any of the pre season games especially when i've had to pay for the ST and other things what about you?
I'll try and do the away games like every other season

Blackburn 1st then Bolton and Wolves fighting for second then us Birmingham & Leeds top 6 I hope we are top but at the moment I can not see it
