It's way too early to say with confidence what will happen this season. Stronger teams will get weakened. Ipswich look very strong but otherwise anything could happen.
Sheffield United to me depends on what happens with Hamer. Without him they were quite average. Add to this how will they be with their new manager?
Brum is a difficult one. It's not easy going from League 1 to the Championship but they have spent heavily. How long will it take them to gel? Top 2 could easily be out of reach before they get going.
Leicester? So many unknowns. Points deduction? Players to be sold? How will their new manager do?
Southampton have some good players but again new manager. No idea how it will go.
Wrexham?
This isn't a Hollywood movie. The best I can see for them is consolidation and a mid table finish.
Norwich as usual just an also ran. Close but no cigar. Same with WBA. Might as well add Middlesbrough to this. Top 6 possible but it won't be easy.
Then we have the mighty Sky Blues. We're easily looking like one of the strongest sides but we have a major GK problem. There's also our best players getting interest from elsewhere. I see us getting 2nd to 4th but only with a dependable GK and adequately replacing anyone sold. Do both of these and I'll stick my neck out and call us second and automatic promotion.

We’ll go one better, 4th place.

I agree a lot of unknowns although id fancy Norwich to have a go with the money coming in there

With current squad or you think we need more signings?

Yeah, I’d just about back us to finish 4th with an unchanged squad. From Xmas we picked up the 3rd most points so why not?
The squad isn’t complete, we need more out wide and AM imo. Even if they’re role players.
Modest improvements to our defence and it drastically improves our PPG. So it’s unsurprising we’ve signed 2 fullbacks and likely to sign a CB.

I just think it will be a season too early for them. If they sell Sergent, which it looks like they will, they will bring in nearly £35m altogether for their best two players. Out of the 67 goals they scored last season half of them came from Sainz and Sergent. Their next highest scorer got just 6. They averaged nearly a goal a game between them. Goals are the hardest thing to replace.

Sargent on the way too bit I’d expect them to spend plenty more after.
