    I´m going for Trees & QPR. I´ve a feeling Trees will do really well this season. As for LC... we´ll push for a top 6 like last season.

    Be getting my tickets for the Brum game soon so I´m really hoping that we win that game, be taking the kids & I could´nt bare sitting there watching them lose. Still it´s football & you never know.

    10 places still available for the PFF, check out my signature.

    I think wigan will do well but lack the supporters to make a 'home fortress'. QPR should walk it technically... and similar situation to when us and newcastle got relegated and both those sinking ships did it so i think they will. Forrest i think will come third - very good but lack the firepower.

    Down the bottom, i think yeovil, millwall and doncaster are in real trouble.

    I don't think Donny will be in bother, they've made some good signings.

    I think QPR, Reading, Wigan, Forest and Watford look the strongest contenders.

    I think QPR are gonna flop big time. 'Arry just doesn't seem bothered, and also doesn't seem to know whats going on at the club he works for <doh> and they also can't get rid of a lot of the players that dragged them down last season which will mean the bad vibe around the place will continue as it has. They just seem a recipe for disaster at this moment

    To be honest, if it wasn't for their owners (and their current manager doesn't seem great either) I would say Blackburn looked strong for the top 2. They have recruited some very good players but they'll continue to be let down by the chicken farmers.

    For me the top 6 in no particular order will be:

    Reading
    Forest
    Leicester
    Wigan
    Leeds :1980_boogie_down:
    Watford

    With Bolton just missing out I reckon

    yeah me and my mate worked out our tables and i had bolton in at 7!!

    Blackburns manager is the poorest in the league, another stupid appointment. Watford are just a gamble tbh, dpends what this years 'crop' of loanees are like!!

    To be honest I never felt this deflated about the start of a new season, really not optimistic about city this season, I think we will finish anywhere between 4th and 18th! That's not a Nigel knock, it's not his fault and I'm sure he will do the best he can with what's he's got and to be fair we nearly did it last season but we did have some awful results!

    Forest for the play offs, Reading and Wigan top 2, Leeds and Derby dark horses and Watford, Ipswich and Bolton also there or there abouts.

    QPR, no idea!

    Watford have signed all the loanees they had last season and more. There team is looking very strong, just depends whether they can cope with the expectation this year, last year they were more or less the dark horses

    Same here, don't feel confident about this season at all. Would be happy with playoffs.

    I'm so glad Austin signed for QPR instead of Forest, who are already looking dangerous and made some good signings.

    I think Watford will win it actually.

    we will be in play offs for sure - the owners will get through 999999999 managers if it looks like we wont. I think NP will take us there and thats all realistically we can expect with the wages shambles that hasnt allowed us to improve our squad.

    In some wages, if next season Kasper, Nugent and Konch leave for free then it wont be the worst thing in the world - we can replace kasper with someone on more snesible wages (big loss, but still have a competant keeper in place), and same with nuge, we will replace him with another top championship striker with more sensible wages... maybe even replacing from within! And konch we will get a better LB on sensible wages

    I honestly have no idea! Reading, QPR or Watford for me are the stand-out contenders. Wigan could go either way, I'm not that convinced by Owen Coyle. Forest have made good signings but I can see it falling apart, anyone remember another club who signed every Tom, Dick and Harry a couple of years back? Don't fancy our chances...

    Mila Kunis to knock on my door tonight, asking if I would be up for a threesome with her and Megan Fox.

    Oh, are we done dreaming now?

    Think it will be ultra competitive again this season. My picks for automatic promotion would be Reading & Bolton. Play offs Wigan, Watford, QPR & Birmingham.
    I reckon we'll finish around 8th.

    Too many changes at QPR so see Wigan as favorites barring any last minute major departures with a settled Reading second. We will be in the mix with Forest, QPR and Ipswich as the bolter.

    Wigan are many people's favourites, but I still think there's a good chance of them losing a few of their best players before the window closes.
