[tonygreenbank]

This competition is separate to the Match predictions that Steve is doing. It involves you predicting the top 6 in any order at the end of the season in the Championship.
Also you predict the 3 teams who you think will be relegated.
And you predict the team that will be Champions come next May. So giving you a score out of 10 overall.

Predictions so far are:
Me (tony greenbank) Top 6 Burnley, Norwich, Watford, Sheff Utd, Boro and Luton
Relegated: Wigan, Birmingham and Bristol City.
Champions: Norwich

Chaddy; Top 6 Norwich, Sheff Utd, Rovers, Watford, Luton and Stoke

I’ve put this article in this thread now as it seems better suited. It’s from today’s Times and he’s reviewing the coming season.
Vincent Kompany’s kids and yo-yo club Norwich should rise to top of Championship chaos

Might be best to wait until the end of the transfer window before predicting anything (31st August deadline is not a type, right?)

Currently Rovers are weaker than last year so I would not have us as finishing in the top 6 (even with a new manager). . . . .Need a goal scoring midfielder for sure . . .It will be interesting to see how Rothwell does in the Premier league as his goal scoring record in the lower levels was appalling for such an attacking player.

Rothwell: all fur coat and the occasional pair of frilly knickers 🫦

August 31st is the deadline, Husky. Keep your powder dry till then!

You might be right ODB! I’m going to tune in and see the new Burnley hopefully get smashed.

 

[tonygreenbank]

Burnley won 1-0. Early days but they looked a good side against a very poor Huddersfield.

Huddersfield lost a manager and there best players and the system has changed. I think they’re in danger actually. Them and reading I’ve backed to go down.

Burnley have recruited well enough.

 

[tonygreenbank]

Apologies Husky I presumed the transfer window ended at the end of August. So a reminder for people to get their predictions in for:
Top 6 ( any order) in the Championship this season.
The League winner this season.
The bottom 3 this season…. giving a score of 10 points.
I know it’s early days but currently BB, Dunn FC, Steve W and me have 3 points whilst Chaddy and ODB have 2.
The deadline now is September 1st.

 

[Husky]

I left it as it was at the start . . . Though I see Boro have not started as well as expected.


Champs: Sheff Utd

West Brom
Burnley
Norwich
Watford
Boro


Relegated:
Wigan
Coventry
Millwall

 

[Drog]

Top 6 Sheff Utd (Top), Norwich, Burnley, Watford, WBA, Boro.

Relegated Wigan, Blackpool, Coventry (although I think Big Club might be involved too).

 

[rovers95]

is it too late to guess?

Please cancel Post #16, @tonygreenbank . While preparing the thread for Saturday’s game, I suddenly remembered I'd forgotten Hull City.

So my prognostications are:
Top of the Championship: Sheffield United;

Top 6: Sheffield United; Watford; Lancashire's Most Historic Football Club; Hull City; Norwich City; and - still as reluctantly as I was earlier - Burnleh.

Bottom 3: Coventry City; Huddersfield Town; and Rotherham United.
