Championship promotions?

Post by LoveCurryPies » Fri Sep 29, 2017 10:35 pm

Long way to go but who would you like to see promoted to the PL?

Personally, I like the Sheffield clubs but I don’t really mind as long as it’s not Leeds. :lol:

Any three who are likely to go straight back down.
I've felt sorry for the Blades since they were shafted by Fergie and West Ham. So I'd have them up.

I think if Fulham has a decent striker up top then they would be favourites, a few times tonight against QPR they were on the break and wide open spaces ahead but always played the ball back as no options infront of them.

Saw a stat before the game that they were, if I remember correctly, in the top 3 for all of possession, key passes and successful passes but 24th for key passes in the final third which is startling.

The three personally, if we stay up, would be Preston, Ipswich and Sheff Utd, as I don't think any of them would stand a chance in the Prem so would mean relegation for next season would be sorted.

Dangerous to under estimate teams, everyone thought Brighton and Huddersfield would be lambs to the slaughter, hasn't proven so yet.

It's a great division again this year. Unpredictable with good teams and underdogs in there. There is life outside the prem.

Wolves
Fulham
Villa
Think Wolves might stay up it would be a struggle for the other two.

Echo the above. Anyone but Leeds and probably Middlesbrough. Took a healthy dislike to Boro a couple of years back.

I think the current top of the table won't be too far off: IMO Cardiff, Leeds and Sheffield United will go up.

I think Villa look most likely to be this season's Newcastle now they seem to have recovered from a poor start.
Great to see the Blades up there - finally recovering from that 2009 wembley defeat. If love to see them come up. Wilder must be the most impressive manager in the EFL at the minute. It's a bun fight though, I wouldn't be putting any money on it.

Find it odd that so many want Blades to do well. Aggressive and obnoxious bunch in my experience. Always found Wednesday supporters much more approachable.

I'd second that. Before the play off final you would have thought they had a guaranteed win. A small club like Burnley wouldn't stand in their way I was told. Hope they stay down along with Leeds.

I lived in Sheffield for 13 years - just up the road from the Lane. Used to go on a fair bit, That's why I'd like em to do well. Also like Wednesday to do well.

I think Sheff U will fade, Leeds will blow it. Cardiff and Wolves for the top two maybe. PNE nowhere near.

Part of me would like Preston as they've been run a tight ship since they went down to League One in a tonne of debt. Then the thing that hits me is that I wanted Blackpool to go up in 2010, but when they did they suddenly got all cocky about it.

Sheffield United, Forest, Bristol City.

Cardiff - Colins going to take some stopping.
Wolves - big money backing and a nice old club.
Burton Albion - anybody in the division can make it and it would be nice to see them in the PL.

Wolves

That's not who I would like to go up
I'd prefer the bottom 3 to be sorted before we kick of next season !
