BRADDO Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 It's going to be a very tall order to get top 2. We are up against premier squads and finances people. Top 6 for me and play off lottery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa could be a basket case but I expect Norwich to be as ruthlessly efficient as Burnley were last season. I just can't see us top 2 I'm afraid.

Thanks Dc and Cc for giving us long suffering fans pride back in our club. Long may it continue UTO!! Here here pal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mercury Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Some interesting predictions though alot of the same teams being mentioned with the odd dark horse threw in. Be interesting to revisit this at the end of the season ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC1Owl Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) You have to assume that Newcastle will be strong. They already had a team that was capable of winning this division and have recruited well. And Benitez is a top coach. If it clicks for us, I see no reason why we can't match the likes of Norwich, Derby and Villa and be in the mix for top 2. We aren't starting from scratch, the team and Carlos know each other, we've added two excellent players to last year's squad and the players we've lost, while good, are dispensible (Sasso, Lopez). I'd say we have a god chance of going up automatic, and should consider anything less than top 6 a disappointment. But it's a long season, and it hasn't even started yet.

gazzamk2 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think we will finish a solid second with Norwich taking the number one spot. The experience gained from last season and shrewd signings this term will prepare us like we haven't had for many a year. I think Benitez will be poached from Newcastle and his big time charlies get fed up with getting ruffed up and they'll be in turmoil! And my tip for play off victory is Derby, very well organised and strong experienced side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrelSlingshot Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Too difficult when you consider that the transfer window is till open and a lot could happen between now and the end of the month. There really hasn't been much transfer activity in the Championship though - with the exception of Newcastle. I don't whether players are biding their time to see what options are available, but it's all a little quiet. Very few clubs seem to have strengthened much. 1. Newcastle 2. Norwich 3. Fulham 4. Brighton 5. Wednesday 6. Huddersfield 7. Derby 8. Aston Villa 9. Brentford 10. Forest 11. QPR 12. Leeds 13. Birmingham 14. Ipswich 15. Preston 16. Wolves (???) 17. Barnsley 18. Reading 19. Cardiff 20. Wigan 21. Bristol City 22. Blackburn 23. Rotherham 24. Burton Albion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mercury Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Sure opinions will change again b4 kick off this wkend. Although its crazy money, Mcormack is a realiable, decent signing and maybe the player villa need ? Newcastle have again strengthened with clarke from villa so with Hanley from Blackburn , 2 new centre backs for them ... Could go either way, tho i think they'll win league (as per my predictions). Tell u what, this season is gonna be a ride and a half , so open its unreal and that goes 4 both ends of table. Uto !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
