Other Teams' Dealings

For what its worth, I've got Blackpool in the bottom three, along with Reading and Birmingham. That guarantees one of them will be the surprise package.

Had a few bets on Sunderland last season, they were a bit hit and miss, but newly promoted, few more fans coming back.. That'll give em a lift..

Aye but most of em will be ‘plastics’ with little patience or ‘nous’ with obvious impact on / implications for a very young / inexperienced side
They will be ‘organised’ / hard to beat but goals look scarce
‘Seasoned’ Slumderland supporters I know will be happy with mid-table
Fuck wit fans I come across (briefly, afore I sod off sharpish) are adamant promotion is ‘nailed on’
So…. it’s the same the world over

Indeed. I think the best few didn't go on their preseason tour. But that wouldn't stop them playing against us.

Reportedly high price tags.

They just brought in a Spanish international player.
 
I fancy us for a top 2 finish. We could do with another option up top but defensive options look good 👍
 
Benjamin Bloom's 1-24 predictions

Norwich as champs then us, Boro, Warford, WBA and Burnley for top 6.


 
Think all 3 relegated teams are ahead of us.
Then ourselves, Middlesbrough and West Brom are around the same level.

There'll be a few surprise packages thrown in there too.

I just hope we push the boat out now. I think a big signing up top (probably need to be a PL loan deal at the end of the window) would push us into that automatic conversation, provided we can keep players fit this time!
 
1st Norwich
2nd WBA
3rd Watford
4th Burnley
5th Boro
6th Coventry

Between 8th and 11th Blades

22nd Rotherham
23rd Reading
24th Birmingham

Norwich will walk the league again despite having Smith in charge, and WBA have bought well despite having Bruce in charge. Watford have a strong team only the inexperienced manager and nutcase owners keeps them out of the top 2 for me, Burnely also a strong squad but are going to suffer somewhat from Dyche withdrawal. Wilder will have Boro There or thereabouts and this seasons surprise package is Coventry who have built well under Robins the last few seasons.

Rotherham are the Norwich of League one / Championship, they just are not big enough to kick on to survive at the level. Reading and Brum have been a long and horrific approaching car crash.

We will be in no trouble with relegation but will just not score or create enough to trouble the promotion race.

Coventry losing O’Hare and Simon Moore and Maatsen was only on loan. Talk of Gyokeres going too. I like cov but think it’s regression

Haha Middlesbrough and Coventry above us. No way! I honestly don’t get the hype with Boro I don’t think they will be anywhere near.

Birmingham takeover may have come a bit too late for them and questions are being asked about the new owners.
 
Burnley seem to have had Everton's pants down with their "McNeil Deal".
Everton in massive trouble paying obscene transfer fees for fairly average players.
Probably good news for us though as he is Burnley's only flair player and further weakens their attacking strength. Think they will be very good defensively but are going to struggle to get enough goals to trouble the autos. Maybe a bit like us. We shall see though.

I'm not so sure they will be good defensively - They've lost Nathan Collins, Nick Pope, Ben Mee, James Tarkowski and Erik Pieters this summer.

Fair play - they have lost a good few defenders then. Also they went a bit weird and like the 'anti-dyche' under their caretaker manager last year. So in summary maybe/probably too much squad re-building required for an absolute novice like Kompany to have them up in the autos, although no doubt he will get unbelievably good Man City youngsters on loan which may paper over quite a few cracks...

When I was reading the list I was thinking that exact same thing. They have the support but is that enough to spur them on in a difficult league. Either way it will be a tough league again next year, there are teams that could easily slip, I don't think there will be much separating 6th-18th

It didn't do them many favours in League one, so I can't see it doing in the championship.
 
'Stoke City have signed Tariqe Fosu on a season-long loan from Brentford.

The 26-year-old Ghana international, who can play in midfield or as a wing-back, is Stoke's eighth signing of the summer.'

Not a bad signing, can play a few positions where I still think we're lacking. (Wing back and DM)

I like Watfords signings so far, Choudhury and Keinan Davis.
They're lost Dennis though, but good loan signings for the Championship in the above.

I agree - if we'd signed these two, I'd be confident of automatics. They'd be perfect for the holes in our squad

Tend to like them as players but that’s two added to your XI that don’t score many.

Puts the pressure on others.
