August 15, 20213 yr Here’s my predictions - prob be way off as it’s hard to tell but here goes! 1) West Brom 2) QPR 3) Fulham 4) Bournemouth 5) Luton Town 6) Cardiff City 7) Reading 8) Sheff United 9) Nottingham Forest 10) Middlesborough 11) Swansea City 12) Stoke City 13) Blackburn Rovers 14) Millwall 15) Barnsley 16) Bristol City 17) Birmingham City 18) Preston North End 19) Peterborough 20) Derby County 21) Blackpool 22) Huddersfield 23) Coventry City 24) Hull City Top Goalscorer - Alexander Metrovic (Fulham) Player of the Season - David Brookes (Bournemouth) Edited August 15, 20213 yr by steve201
August 15, 20213 yr I don't mind which teams get promoted as long as it's not Fulham or West Brom. There's much less chance of both of those teams missing out though, at least one of them are bound to worm their way back into the Premier League at the first attempt.
August 15, 20213 yr Yeh West Brom have taken Valerien off Barnsley after he nearly got the Yorkshire team into the Premiership last season so looks a good bet but you never know!
August 15, 20213 yr I'd be amazed if those two weren't the top 2, Fulham's squad is unbelievable and should run away with this league. The lack of money outside of the top 4 means it's really uncompetitive, some solid teams (Millwall, QPR, Cardiff, Boro, Stoke) that might get into the 70s but I'd be surprised at anything more. Would be an incredible achievement for Derby to stay up and Huddersfield look doomed too, the last relegation place between one of a few; Reading, Blackpool, Peterborough, Preston, Bristol City
August 15, 20213 yr Yeah Derby will surely go down to League one this season. They only stayed up last season because Sheffield Wednesday had a 12 point deduction, Derby being only 3 points clear of them shows how fortunate they were to escape relegation and how bad Derby actually were.
