Championship 2014/15 Predictions thread

[JordCot]

I think Wolves will get promoted and Reading will neither get promoted or relegated. Now to wait a year before I can gloat...

[YateleyRoyal]

Surprised nobody thinks Brentford will go down.

[Zana Badawi]

Finished in form,

They really didn't. Don't you remember the shambles that was the race to sixth?

[kwik-silva]

form is somewhat relative.

[P!ssed Off]

Surprised nobody thinks Brentford will go down.

Yep.
They are surely the favourites for bottom place.
Both Rotherham and Wolves have numerous players that I'd be happy to have at Reading.
Brentford don't really have any.

[P!ssed Off]

At this moment have Blackpool, Millwall, Brentford and Charlton got one decent player between them?
3 out of those 4 for relegation surely.

Got a feeling Huddersfield might be the dark horses this season, if they don't lose Adam Clayton <3

Predictions at this stage are so useless you may as well just have a load of foxes heads on sticks. And if you do that, something interesting happens.....the word 'Cruel' starts flashing.

[Reading4eva]

I'm shocked all of you feel Millwall will go down. I can see them finishing in the top 6.

They have Ian Holloway who is an expert of getting the smaller clubs (Blackpool, Crystal Palace) promoted and motoring.
Also their turnaround last season was nothing short of remarkable, being one stage 4 points below Yeovil.
He will probably also sign some of his old guard there, who are not the best players in the world but are team players.

Brentford are fancied too because of this very reason. They are a team not a bunch of individuals (like us last season)

I think most of you are right with Blackpool and Birmingham though. One has just delayed the inevitable with who I think is a poor man manager in Lee Clark and a chairman in some foreign prison. The other has a headless chicken for a chairman.
Sadly I don't think either Rotherham or if they were promoted, Leyton Orient are good enough for this division. The gap between the Championship and League One is ever expanding with two of the three going straight back down last season. It could of been 3 from 3 if Bournemouth hadn't turned the corner so well (they were pants early season)

[Pepe the Horseman]

Palace were 2nd when Holloway took over. They finished 5th and snuck through the play-offs.

[Lord Jimmy Kebe]

Derby, Wolves and Wigan via play offs for promotion with Rotherham, Brentford and Birmingham for relegation. Can't see Reading doing terribly well next year but mid table should be a realistic expectation.
