The Championship as always promises to be competitive and I might be totally out with these:-
West Brom
Bournemouth
Fulham
Swansea City
Stoke City
Middlesbrough
Sheffield United
Nottingham Forest
Cardiff City
Blackburn Rovers
Huddersfield Town
Luton Town
Barnsley
QPR
Millwall
Hull City
Coventry City
Reading
Preston
Birmingham
Bristol City
Derby County
Blackpool
Peterborough
West Brom and Bournemouth I expect to lead the way, but I can see the strength in depth of West Brom seeing them over the line. Fulham, Swansea, Stoke and Boro’ for the play offs. Stoke perhaps a surprising choice but after several seasons of poor starts, I feel that if they get it together early on they could surprise many. No immediate return for United but an improved season for Forest with Cardiff and Blackburn challenging. Obviously biased but I would say that Town will have a comfortable mid-table season with Luton, Barnsley, QPR and Millwall also having decent seasons with Hull and Coventry safe from relegation. Despite the financial problems at Reading they are too good to go down, but Preston and Birmingham I can see struggling and Bristol City continuing their poor form of last season. Derby look short in depth and of the filed antics will not help but Blackpool and Peterborough I feel will occupy the bottom 2 spots.
