Feel free to crucify me, interesting league this it could genuinely be anyone’s this year. Villa and West Brom could easily flip. PNE, Brentford and Bristol City might not continue their recent success either.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

West Brom will piss the league. That much I'm sure of.

Good side to be fair, not 100% how Moore will do with them though despite his great work in the prem.

 

[Stretch]

Pigs 1st us 24th, as predicted by the unwashed of Porktalk. We all know that they never ever get it wrong.

Stoke appointed Rowett.

Ok hadn’t seen that, so he normally needs time to settle and sort his hairdo

Dirty Leeds will be in the mix as will the sheep s*aggers .
Top 8 will be top 6 budgets and a couple of surprises
We will be mid table as will the scum , rovrum down by xmas

 

[Paisley Blade]

Sadly, I concur.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

Good side to be fair, not 100% how Moore will do with them though despite his great work in the prem.

Despite finishing bottom, they've often played some very good stuff. Ultimately their lack of goals has cost them but they look a very capable side. If they use the parachute money wisely I can't see anyone matching them.

 

[KoppedOff]

We dont even know what pond our own club is fishing in at this stage, so I’m not sure how to start predicting the other 23 as well.

I’ll push the boat out and say Ipswich will be mid table and have nothing to play for in the last 6 games. As usual.

I think Leeds are shite to be honest.

just a wee hunch they have some 'bounce' lol

 

[Liverpool blade]

I really couldn't guess what teams are gonna finish in what position?. Last season proved that anyone can beat anyone on their day?. I M H O. Yes of course the relegated teams have got parachute payments which might give them an advantage but villa have proved that doesn't always work?.
I'm certain that wilder can push us on to the next level with the right recruits of course!!. UTB

[sheffielder]

West Brom will piss the league. That much I'm sure of.

I would wait and see if there is a fire sale at West Brom. Their books are fecked and ran at a loss in the premierleague last year. I don't think they are the shoe in you think they will be

Can you explain your reasoning for Bristol City and Norwich. I can't be arsed to look at the rest after that

 

[blademark]

I admire the enthusiasm of the op but there isn't a squad in the league that won't be different In 3 months time so impossible to guess just now. I'm hopeful that we can add some quality and push on, that's all I can think about just now.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Brizzel City. What...how...when ??? Sumtink you know and we don’t ? YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS ..ahem !

they'd have finished in the play offs i'm pretty sure of it had they not had that mammoth Cup run which definitely distracted them and then a burn out...

just think they'll learn from that and be better prepared,not bother with Cups next season and concentrate on the league, think their chairman set a 3 or 5 year plan to reach the Prem as well, they play some decent stuff.

gone for Norwich as a bit of a curveball for 2nd too.

see my post above replying to Cahill's shock at my predictions

Norwich underperformed this season when better was expected of them...but Maddison if he stays will be the main focal point and can spearhead them into the Top 6

name your charity, I feel a bet coming on

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

haha ok... closer to when the season starts maybe

i just think both Norwich and Bristol City will be in the Top 6...stuck my neck out for top 2 over some of the more obvious teams for this thread as i hate to be predictable lol

Swansea are my dark horse for 2nd as it looks like Graham Potter will be their new manager. I think Middlesboro will bore us all to 1st. I think United and Wednesday will be both be in the play offs too.

Norwich won’t be too 6. They are skint and trying to trim a wage bill. Will be nowhere near promotion.

I think that Boro will bore us to autos too. Doubt either us or Wednesday will be top 6, we just lack a bit of quality and maybe a centre midfielder. Wednesday rely heavily on forestieri and he will miss periods. Think we will both be top half but not really challenge playoffs.

 

[Ricky]

No one will piss the league. I think it'll be much closer at the top, and a very open chase for the play offs.

Right now I'd have it something like this...


1. Aston Villa
2. Middlesbrough
3. West Brom
4. Stoke
5. Brentford
6. Sheffield United
7. Preston
8. Birmingham
9. Sheffield Wednesday
10. Millwall
11. Leeds
12. Nottingham Forest
13. Derby
14. Blackburn
15. Swansea
16. Norwich
17. Bristol City
18. Wigan
19. Hull
20. QPR
21. Reading
22. Ipswich
23. Bolton
24. Rotherham


The most boring automatic promotion duo of all time.

A play off place for us. Some 'Wilder out' fuckwits emerge as we fail to land the title.

Wednesday make incredible progress to finish 9th.

Ipswich fans pat themselves on the back for forcing McCarthy out.


Of course, this will all be miles off as these league predictions always are.

But when I'm looking at who to put in the top 6, after the top 3 or 4 there's absolutely nobody I have any confidence in. I really think it's there for us next season if we have a decent transfer window. Others will be thinking the same.

fair enough, i guess you have your ear closer to the ground on things happening there judging by your username
