Not tricking me. You can change your vote.

Got me. I changed to playoffs after we announced Brau.

2nd to 4th. Went for playoffs in vote.

It's too difficult to be more precise this early. I can't see many sides being better than us and also consier this to be a weaker Championship than recent years.

Ipswich look strong and can't see us beating them.

Southampton have Will Still as manager. 32 and never a professional footballer. Managed small Belgium clubs then Lens for 1 season. No experience of the English game let alone the Championship. Has stated in last few days they will be having a change of players. Leaving it a bit late? This place would have gone into meltdown if we had got him as manager.

Leicester are a basket case of a club. Lots of players that want to leave and they want to get rid of bit are overvalued and on massive wages. Points deduction on the horizon.

Sheffield Utd have brought in 4 players. 2 I've never heard of before and 2 younger loans from the Prem that haven't played this high before. They look weaker than last season. New manager Selles doesn't have a great CV either.

Birmingham are a strange one. Lots of money spent but how many would get into our side? How long will it take them to gel? Add to this Davies as manager has always been a coach before. Will he be ready for what the Championship has to throw at him?

I'm not saying we're certainties to beat any of the clubs above. But there's big questions about all of them other than Ipswich. I certainly wouldn't want to swap managers with any of them and we also have a settled and established Championship side with Lampard who has looked so far a very good manager at this level.

I have to give this the award for the most accurate and reasoned prediction of the season. Even the Ipswich comment, as we didn't beat them

AUTOS! Shit or bust!

Just call me the oracle

When pushed on our finish this season I got it wrong I hope. I said if we signed a good GK we would finish 2nd to Ipswich

Even Lampard didn't think we'd get autos so fair play!

 

[Evo1883]

Currently I'd say 1st

 

[rob9872]

I'd say Top with our King in Power - where do you think you'll finish @Leicesterfox ?

Changed mine now

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Realistically top 6.

With my skyblue tinted glasses on-Autos.

Also depends on performance of those Prem relegated teams.

Be great to get a good start this season and actually not have to play catch up!

If we bring in a couple of players that actually make the team better-defo autos.

Stick with what we’ve got 4th easy.

Playoffs again (sigh).

I’d much prefer we did it the easy way.

I do prefer it this way, I’m right.

What is very interesting and no one really mentioned is this stat-

In last 8 seasons a losing team in playoffs has been promoted next season 7 times in the championship & 6 times it’s been automatically via top 2 finish.

Now 7 times via Top two finish

Evidence

2016 *M’boro* get 2nd place promotion after losing in the final the year before
2017 *Brighton* get 2nd place promotion after losing in the semis the year before
2018 *Fulham* won play offs after going out in Semis the year before
2019 *Villa* win playoffs after losing in final to Fulham the year before
2020 *Leeds & WBA* go up automatically after losing in the play off semis the year before
2021 *Brentford* win play offs after losing in the final the year before
2022 *Bournemouth* get 2nd place promotion after losing in the semis the year before
2023 *Sheffield Utd* get 2nd place promotion after losing in the semis the year before, *Luton* also win playoffs after losing in the semis the year before
2024 Didn’t happen last year
2025 *Coventry City* Promoted automatically after losing in the Semis to Scumderland the year before.

I voted play offs I was under the impression Southampton and Ipswich would go up automatically and that we’d be battling Boro and Sheff Utd to finish 3rd

(very very glad to be wrong)

Somewhere between first and top.
