Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Sky Sports readers have been voting in their thousands, and they believe that Fulham and Leeds will win automatic promotion from the Sky Bet Championship this season. Fulham, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, have been backed to finish first and immediately return to the top flight, while Leeds, who were beaten in the play-off semi-finals, have been voted to join them in second. According to the vote, the play-off contingent this season will be West Brom, Cardiff, Stoke and Brentford. It is bad news at the bottom, however, for Birmingham, Hull and Sheffield Wednesday - who are predicted to finish in the relegation zone. Readers had the opportunity to either up vote for a team they thought would finish higher up the league, or down vote a team they thought should be lower down. And here is how you believe the Championship table will look by the end of the season-: Fulham L**ds West Brom Cardiff Stoke Brentford Bristol City Charlton Middlesbrough Derby Barnsley Wigan Forest Swansea Preston Reading QPR Luton Blackburn Millwall Huddersfield Birmingham Hull City Sheffield Wednesday Edited August 2, 2019 by Lord Snooty 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Of The Roasters Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 This is a Sky Sports readers poll. All I read from it is that a lot of people hate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 We're not as good as some of the supporters on here think, but we're nowhere near that bad. I'd expect 8th-12th, with a possible play-off challenge if we can find a good manager from somewhere (although it looks like we're reigning in the spending in anticipation of next summer's accounts). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Worra load of rounduns. There's another one in which 20 reporters predicted promotion teams and not one voted for us. Some people are going to have egg on the faces when we are doing our tour of the city after promotion is secured. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbing reality of it for me is that we have had the same squad now for years. Of the 100 longest serving Championship player, 11 of them play for us. This team has proven it can sustain an average position of top half and that's been achieved against a year on backdrop of managerial uncertainty and injuries. In a way, what makes this season different? There's nothing in the squad that suggests the players can move up a level and get us in that top 6 in my opinion. We can't get anywhere near enough consistency across a whole season. That could all change with the right manager, which is the most important piece of the jigsaw for me. The signing of Hector, a good central midfielder and another winger. And finally some luck on the injury front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.flem Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thats laughable to be honest. Don't want to tempt fate but surely we can't have the same luck with injuries we've had over the last 2 seasons particularly, and if we have even a bit better luck we should be comforably mid table.

Season three was decimated by injuries. And last season we still had players returning from injury not to mention Jos not picking our main men for some reason. I see no reason why a well managed (i know we don't have a manager in place yet), fully fit squad should not be pushing for a top six finish.
