Don't really want to predict anything until the squads of various teams start to take shape, but just for conversation and picking a few teams out i'll take a pop at the following
Us.. We'll be top 6 pretty much all season.
Ipswich.. Will win the league imo.
Leicester.. I hope they get punished properly, let's see what happens.
Southampton.. I know parachute teams are nearly always up there but there is something to the string eventually snapping on the yo-yo, they look a lot worse than the last time they came down. Probably will be up there but not ruling out shitting the bed.
Sunderland.. will lose to Sheffield United and be in the play offs again with us. Revenge?
Boro.. Need to sack Carrick or they will fall short again.
Birmingham.. Genuinely think they might try and cheat and spend more than they should hoping to go straight up. They need to do quite a bit for that to work, their squad isn't all that good and has strong mid-table vibes as it stands.
Wrexham.. Will sign enough to stay up, just. But they have a lot to do, their squad is way off Championship standard.
I'll include WBA just for you.. Can't see them doing much, depends how they invest from the sale of Fellows which is something they need to do now really.

Hopefully I'm wrong. But i don't feel like any bad teams entered the division for next season. Birmingham apparently have a season ticket waiting queue , no doubt after their success last season and huge investment, I also happen to live in bham and there is a buzz like never before with them and their owners and we all know about Wrexham and their investment/expectation. Id expect both to stay up and who knows even compete at the top end of the division.
 
Norwich will be up there. Ipswich as well. Birmingham will do well. We will be up there if we keep most of this squad or if we take a risk and have a huge rebuild and King puts his trust in Lampard and Lampard gets it right whom he brings in we could go up automatically. I know @Saddlebrains has said not to expect too much comings and goings, I do feel though Wright and Simms and Sheaf may be gone in order to allow lampard to spend money on better. Upgrade those 3 alone and we probably have enough to challenge top 2 as Kitching and Thomas are getting better and more experienced and unexpect us to not leak so many goals next season.

This is simply a very hard league every season with not much to choose between most clubs. Wrexham I expect will find it considerably harder without being able to take the piss against their competitors and their dinosaur manager too.

Not sure you can play kitching & Thomas with that high line we’ll be playing, need a bit of pace there, but your right theyv’e both improved loads, quality over quantity this summer
