Championship Rivals

Ok then, who are we most concerned about in the Championship this season?

I didn't bother much with the league last season as we were big time charlies then!

But I'm thinking Derby, Norwich, Fulham, Wolves and Forest will all be strong?

I think Norwich,Fulham,Derby,Nottingham Forest, Wigan will be strong and Wolves and Ipswich dark horses

Yeah, I agree. I would put Blackburn in there too. Middlesbrough possibly too. I think the Championship will be split in two this season.

Very hard to call but for me, got a feeling these will do well

Wolves
Ipswich
Forest
Boro
Derby
Fulham

Those plus Wigan and dont see Leeds being far from the leading teams

Reading have just been taken over by Thai millionaires(might be billionaires but don't hold me to it), with not just one but four on board, so expect them to push later on in the window.

Forgot about Blackburn (and we are playing them 1st game)

WIGAN AND BLACKBURN FOR ME

Let's be honest it could be anyone from 10-12 teams in this league

But obvious ones for me are Derby,Wigan,Fulham,Norwich,

More or less every side except perhaps, Brentford, Rotherham, Blackpool, Brum, Millwall, will be thinking they are in with a shout.

I'd expect that 5 to be struggling.

Would split the rest as follows..

Mid-table lower Watford, Charlton, Huddersfield, Sheff Weds, Bolton, Bournemouth, Leeds, Reading

Top half/play-off contenders.. Ipswich, Wolves, Blackburn, Brighton, Boro, Forest

Play-offs/main promotion contenders Cardiff City, Fulham, Norwich, Wigan, Derby

The odds pretty much back this up... http://www.oddschecker.com/football/eng ... /promotion

Can't see why we are favourites given the players we've lost. I would have thought Norwich, given they finished above us and have lost less in terms of talent from last years side (or have I missed something) would be.

Fulham, as a bit more of an uncertainty as they were rubbish, but improved toward the end of the season, but have had a fair few changes since and brought a load of players in -spending big again.

There's normally at least 1 dark horse - think I'll go for Boro.. even they are only around 6/1
