The Championship is going to be a really tough season next season and i am going to stick my neck out and say one of the toughiest i have seen with teams like West Ham, Wigan, Blackpool and Wolves fighting at the bottom whatever 3 teams do get relegated will sure be a tough team next season and be up there. Then you have the teams who just missed out like the playoff losers Could be forest, reading, swansea and cardiff and then teams like Burnely, Leicster, Leeds and Hull who will all think they will have a chance. You could also say Brighton and Southapton could well be challengers with the confidence of being promoted like Norwich this season. Finally teams who have just started to improve like Middlesbrough and Bristol City.

What you think Guys could you still see us being promoted or even in the playoffs.

Would expect to be challenging playoffs yes
 
There will always be three teams relegated from the Premier League - not sure how that makes a division tougher
 
They will still be the three weakest teams from the Premier League though and will surely have to then sell off the best players they have.

Looking at West Ham - they would lose Parker, Upson, Green, Cole etc
Blackpool would lose Vaughan, Evatt and Adam
etc....
 
Well burnley didn't lose many players if any and they came down from the premier League, just like Newcastle who went straight back up and the likes of sunderland, west brom and Birmingham they get relegated and then go stragiht back up
 
I think, that with the team we have had on the pitch in the second half of this season, we have a good chance of competing in the top half of the Championship next season, but with the additional incoming players (buys/loans) we could be top 6, but that will depend on how we gel in the first 10 games of the season. This season we should see a squad of NP chosen players, with maybe the odd Browny player still "haunting the halls"!!
The KC has to become a "cauldron of Hell" for any visiting team, and the away form, of the end of this season, needs to be maintained to achieve this, though. Also, the booing and slagging off of the players in the ground needs to stop! If we want to be counted by the owners, management and the team, as the 12th man, we need to show we are with them, not against. Clap them off the pitch, no matter how poor they were on the field of play, these boards are for slagging off the players not the stands. Get on the backs of the scum who we are playing against, give them the ****, put them under pressure when they come to the KC, make the "roar" heard when we are the away fans, drown out their fans whether we are at home and away, get in their heads, make them **** themselves when the know they have to play us!

If all this can be achieved we will walk the League next season, like the Dramas' did this season, and those left in this League will not want us to be in the same Division as them again.


Monologue over!!!!!!!

Dont think QPR fans were anywhere near the best in the league so I agree with the player additions bit but having good fans will not win you the league

Sorry, didn't mean the Drama-fans, I meant how the team walked the League, points-wise!

But the fans do have a part to play in the way teams play, as I inferred, when players are "frightened" to go into an area of the ground because of the "abuse" they get from the "fans" there, the psychological battle is won, and that is what the support in the ground has to supply for their own team.

With you all the way on that, sagey = but I do wish the West Stand would make some noise!
 
It's been well documented that if West Ham go down they will lose plenty of their players due to their wage demands. You'd expect Blackpool to lost Charlie Adam, Wolves to lose Jarvis and Doyle and Wigan to lose their foreign players (i think Birmingham and Blackburn will be safe, just). Therefore, i wouldn't expect the 3 who come down to be any stronger than the teams currently at the top of the championship. It all depends how everyone shapes up over the summer, but i wouldn't be at all suprised if 80% of the teams in this division believe they have a genuine chance of promotion when next season starts. I expect Cardiff to have the strongest squad next season if they shoudn't go up via the play offs, and Boro, Bristol, Ipswich and Coventry to have much better seasons. Obviously with so many teams going for promotion this will leave about 10 teams disappointed, we just have to make sure we aren't one of those teams.
 
Boro have done well in the last few games and think Mowbray might shape a team together. The worry there is the end of the parachute payments and the seemingly lesser interest to dip into his personal fortune of their Chairman.
 
i Think we will be better placed to see how tough the league will be after summer when we know who has come down and who they will lose. As well as who we sign, i would hope to see us in the play offs for next season though.
