With the Championship season starting in just 4 days and the Cardiff City roller-coaster starting up again where do you thing we will finish the championship season?
Top 6 must be the minimum target and I don't see 6 other teams this season better managed than us. We all know the favourites and two of them should get the auto spots - but you never know. Every team hits a bad patch sometime through the season and it's how quickly you can get out of it that sorts the men from the boys. We are better equipped than ever with Warnock at the helm and a potentially very good squad at his disposal. If we can get a decent start to the season and some momentum going rather than playing catch up all the time we could surprise a few. I'll say for the sake of this poll 3rd to 6th but I'm going to have a sneaky wager on the side to pinch an auto spot out of the blue. EDIT........just had a look and we're only 11/4 to finish top 6 but 14/1 to finish top 2 - just stuck a tenner on a top 2 - I expect to collect my £150 in May....
After your Oracle like prediction for Huddersfield last season i'm even more excited for the season now
Just don't have that bit of extra quality in midfield and out wide that other clubs have plus a lack of depth up top.Even with our manager I just can't see higher than 8-9th.
Some computer has predicted this as the final table at the end of the season. Super Computer's predicted 2017-18 Championship table 1 - Middlesbrough 2 - Wolves 3 - Aston Villa 4 - Fulham 5 - Norwich 6 - Sheffield Wednesday 7 - Leeds United 8 - Brentford 9 - Reading 10 - Hull 11 - Derby 12 - Nottingham Forest 13 - Birmingham 14 - Cardiff City 15 - Sheffield United 16 - Queens Park Rangers 17 - Sunderland 18 - Preston 19 - Barnsley 20 - Ipswich 21 - Bolton 22 - Millwall 23 - Burton 24 - Bristol City
Computers!!! Rubbish in, rubbish out. That's worse than last season ffs. Programmers, what do they know?
How can you programme in a bad referee decision or an astute substitution by a manager that changes a game? How can you quantify a deflection off a defenders arse that puts the ball past their own keeper? There may be an essence of the expectation levels about certain teams, but for the most part it's absolute bollucks dressed up as scientific analysis. I'll stick to gut feeling - and then I'll probably be way out anyway....
