    Genuinely buzzing for the Championship tomorrow. All the drama without being involved.

    Champions - Ipswich
    Auto - Southampton
    Playoffs - Sheff Utd, Leicester (winners), Norwich, Birmingham
    Relegation - Blackburn, PNE, Sheff Wed

    I reckon only 1 of the relegated sides will go up and all 3 newly promoted sides will stay up again

    Reckon Ipswich and Birmingham top 2 so buzzing for tomorrow's game

    Aye. Still the best league to watch imo. Cant wait for it tbh. Going to be a right ding dong league top to bottom I think.

    Interested to watch Southampton and their coach. Quite a different style for them now.

    Really looking forward to it now we aren’t involved. Fancy Ipswich for the league but it won’t be easy, never is in that division

    Starting to really look forward to tonights game. I still remember the first game for Ipswich back in the champ. Mowbray was in charge and we absolutely had them dizzy for 35 mins but failed to score. Should have been 2 or 3. Then they got a goal and got into it. I still think that was their pivotal game that season. Had we beat them that momentum they carried could have gone. Bit of role reversal tonight I think with Birmingham carrying momentum. Hope it is a cracker.

    Same I'm buzzing for it, bet it'll be 0-0!!

    So much talent on show, 2 exciting young managers and 2 teams that play football the 'right' way in my eyes

    I really like Davies mate. Heard some brilliant things about him too. On my watchlist of head coaches.

    That bench for Birmingham is really impressive mind. Some squad they have put together.

    Def still need a couple players but they look very strong

    Doyle being on the bench in the championship is ridiculous imo, the 2 lads they have starting are very good tho

    Their 2 cfs will press all game long as well

    Really interested for this mind. Horrible league to be in this year if you want promotion. Teams like Coventry not even getting a mention and they could be strong, derby been active in the window too. Didn’t realise how important it was to get out of that league when we did.

    No idea what happens tonight, gut feeling Ipswich for some reason but should be an electric atmosphere

    I think Ipswich win this. If they use Clarke correctly (unlike last season) I expect him to get 20 goal contributions this season.

    Intereating to see how Nuemann goes. He has been on the cusp of move up for a while I think. I think he has a lot to like. Lets see.

    I find Chris Davies massively unlikeable - clearly a good coach but if he was chocolate he'd eat himself.
