Nero Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 You have to ask exactly how motivated are Fulham Huddersfield and Cardiff fans to get back up after the misery of last season for them? Championship is way better for a fan of a middling club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Can anyone remember when a team came down and went straight back up .Stoke ,West Brom who came near ,and Swansea . Came down last season . Fulham don't fancy them or Cardiff ,Huddersfield no chance ,Leeds will be near ,Stoke could be close ,As for us .If we sell our Ground ,How much cash can we spend ,We were hardly prolific in front of Goal ,We need a goalscorer .

Surprised how short Stoke are. I would probably make WBA favourites. honestly,suprised how short our odds are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit misleading, as it says Sheffield Wednesday to be promoted (19/20) and Blunts to be relegated (19/20), but it's now gone to the top of mi open bets screen as if it's about to time out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One season like that might be fun. Mostly those teams are watching their teams lose against mediocre premier league sides or overpowered top six sides ripping them a new one. I'd hope when we go up we challenge a bit more than those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 of the last 18 teams to finish bottom 2 have gone straight up. And people say parachute payments are unfair. In a way that justifies them in my opinion.

Essix Blue Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I’d be interested to know how many teams have been promoted from this division with a new manager either from start of season (like Boro will be) or mid season (like Villa last season).

Think I will be looking for 14/1 to back the Owls e/w £5. Never back big on us. That is to be promoted not to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We've gone to 14/1 now. Stop backing us yer varmints, I've gorra wait till pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarNigel Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Despite it looking like the weakest Championship in quite a while, I think we are still a long, long way-away from contending near the top. So I’ve obviously put £50 on us winning the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I presume those odds are on promotion not winning Championship outright. Even so they are rather skinny. You have 10 teams shorter than natural odds which is a very large number. Bookies do not intend losing much. Usually there is a gamble on two or three teams who have made significant acquisitions or look good on immediate return after relegation. The relegated clubs do not look automatic candidates for return expect Cardiff to do best. Middlesboro will take time to turn around, WBA in my opinion are favourites but will need good start. Stoke have some good players but not keen on recruitment they have done. Derby and Leeds look to me type who will blow out this year after play offs this year. Bielsa has said will not get as much out of players this season, which would worry me if Leeds fan. Brentford keep selling best players and need to learn how to play away from home. Forest under O'Neill could go either way,, they are a team which would not surprise me if in bottom 6 or top 6. There will be an who'd have thought it team and this may be Blackburn or Preston. I think we will be thereabouts one of those seasons to you on edge of seats I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hooper Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Out of the relegated teams, i quite fancy Cardiff to go straight back up. Good manager and they'll keep the same squad, unlike Fulham who'll lose everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
