Norwich just sold Sainz so not sure about that
Norwich just sold Sainz so not sure about thatSwap West Brom for Naarwich and I'll broadly agree with you. Think Blues will be difficult opponents at their place (will kick lumps out of everyone) and fancy Wrexham to be crap (17th or lower)
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.
With current squad or you think we need more signings?
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.I agree a lot of unknowns although id fancy Norwich to have a go with the money coming in there
Sargent on the way too bit I’d expect them to spend plenty more after.Norwich just sold Sainz so not sure about that
Looks like my Simms prediction may be on trackTop Scorer - Simms
POTY - Mason-Clarke
YPOTY - Andrews
Breakout Star - Andrews
Most Assists - Rudoni
We score the most goals in the league
We finish 2nd
Wow so far its not looking too bad 18 games to go, if Andrews breaks through nie and Rudoni kicks into gear it could be on! (Although we’ll win the league not finish 2nd)Top Scorer - Simms

- Rapha breakout season:Let’s hear your purely vibe based predictions for the upcoming season.
I’d describe myself as a broadly optimistic fan so bare that in mind for mine:
*Rapha has a breakout season off the bench, bags a couple of assists and goals, becomes the darling of the forum and the phone in.
*BTA becomes clear 2nd choice striker and bags 10 goals. Shows why we signed him in the first place.
*We finish 3/4th in the table after a strong start, have a slight wobble that takes us out of auto contention before rallying to secure the home play off semi 2nd leg.
*Rudoni has another incredible season and is considered the next one off the conveyor belt to go for big money in the summer
*We absolutely thump someone 5-0 at home
*Beat both Birmingham and Wrexham home and away
