Wonder how typical it is for the losing play-off finalists to not even be in the conversation.

We never get any respect. Even when they were showing the key matches of the last day on Sky, they chose Millwall vs Blackburn, Swansea vs WBA, Preston Vs Scumberland, but left our match out.

That's okay. We'll fly under the radar again.

Ipswich aside, no real surprises there. Meaningless at this stage obviously, but no surprise we don't feature. View from other fans seems to be we have overachieved thanks in large part to two individuals who likely won't be with us next season. Expect to see lots of people tipping us for relegation.

Couldn't care, like being written off and have every faith in MR.

Sky Bet has us down as Champ winner at 25/1 with Millwall, Swansea and Blackburn and at 15/2 for promotion.

Exactly. As MR said we have use the pain of the playoff final loss to galvanise us and to fuel our determination to succeed next season. Redemption starts now.

The fact that we're not in that top group is laughable really.

Spot on. Constantly overlooked and underestimated. Just the way I like it. Robins can get to work build a stronger bigger squad and we will be back stronger. Bring it on.

Some serious financial backing going on at Ipswich apparently

Can see them doing a Sunderland and really having a good go in fairness, great young coach in charge as well

Leeds would be my pick to win it at this extremely early stage, they’ve got some cracking young players to build a new squad around

Cresswell and Shackleton who have spent the season with Millwall, Drameh who played for Luton the other day, Gelhardt, Greenwood, Archie Gray (grandson of Eddie), Hjelde who spent the season with Rotherham

Actually think they are a side who can benefit from relegation in order to clear the mercenaries from their ranks

Wouldn't be surprised to see Sunderland up there. Bit more depth and quality to their squad and they could fly next year.

Really good point. That’s a solid base of good young players with championship experience.

Leicester are going to be interesting. Something strange is going on there. I think despite selling Fofana for silly money they still only made one signing all season…a free transfer.
Motd reporting that a load of their players are out of contract now too.
Somethings afoot I tell you!

(and I can’t be bothered to google what this might be).

If you’re a bookmaker, you’re looking at how many players are going back to their parent clubs and the uncertain futures of Hamer and Gyokeres. If we manage to keep both and add quality, we’re a completely different proposition. If we have to replace them, it’s looking very uncertain.

I am surprised at Ipswich. A club that is consistently overestimated.

Hope they stay up and genuinely think they will get enough points at home to make that happen. Why are they cunts? Just because they beat us?

If you add the average attendances for the 6 teams leaving the Championship this season it’s 97,037 (16,172 each). The 6 teams coming in average 166,327 in total (27,721 each). Good to see some bigger crowds with some big old teams. The Championship is going to be better for it with potentially bigger crowds ……. If my maths is right.
