Top 6 next season

Sat May 26, 2012 11:08 am

I know it's very early and there is still an entire transfer window to go through but it doesn't do any harm so I predict

Birmingham
Wolves
Blackpool
Bolton
Cardiff
Leeds

Without the distraction of Europe I think Birmingham will be a force to reckoned with.

Wolves I feel will still have a very good squad even capable of automatic promotion even when they lose some of their star players .

Blackpool if they keep their best players will have a very good season imo.

Bolton again if they keep their best players they should easily make the play off's.

For us I predict the lottery of the play off's again as I can see malky having a good budget to work with regards to transfers but not a budget in which we chuck millions for a few different players.

I picked Leeds because of warnock, he a proven manager at this level and knows how to get out of this league and with a decent budget I think Leeds will have a good season.

What are your top 6 Predictions? :ayatollah:

Charlton

Sheffield Wednesday

Blackpool

Wolves

Birmingham

Possibly Kay-arr-diff, but not too confident at the moment. OK, I'll put them in as a doubtful play-off contender.

I doubt Brum or Leeds will be involved, but I'd expect Leicester to be in the top 6 minimum.

There will most likely be a sursprise package, but probably the better teams ftom this season along with the 3 that came down, and maybe Charlton who were very very good last season and seem to have a decent squad and loads of confidence after walking L1 with a huge amount of points.

Surely another promoted team from league 1 can't get promoted :shock:
If one of them do maybe we have found a route into the premiership :D

:lol:

That's it! Get relegated, regroup and get promoted two seasons running. Simple.

Think Sheff Weds will have a decent campaign. And with Dave Jones in charge he's bound to take them up just to piss us off.

Wolves
Leeds
Charlton. Powell rebuilt hugely last summer, he'll do it again this year and well in all likeliness
Cardiff if we get a big cash injection
Brighton if Vicente stays
Blackpool

Right now I'd think

Birmingham, Blackpool, Leeds, Leicester, Wolves and Sheff Wed/Cardiff.

Or

Leeds, Leicester, Charlton, Birmingham, Blackburn and Borough/Palace.

Both of these guess' are not in any order.

If our Malaysian owners stop worrying about decorating the stadium and dressing us in pretty red shirts and actually pump some decent funds into signing a few quality players to add to the quality we already got, then I reckon we will piss this league next season. With sheff wednesday going up behind us and wolves for the playoffs!

Surprised at Birmingam predictions, aren't they still under a transfer embargo?
Unless they get big investment I think they will struggle.

Bolton will be interesting, I like Coyle but I think he'll have a big rebuilding job on his hands.

Leicester the obvious ones along with Wolves.

As long as the new Wolves manager isn't a complete idiot and they hold on to their best players, they'll walk your division next season. With Bolton in 2nd.

Brum won't get anywhere near the playoffs and that's if they will be still in exsistence.
