1. Middlesborough 2. Leicester 3. West Ham 4. Ipswich 5. Forest 6. Leeds 7. Hull 8. Birmingham 9. Reading 10. Burnley 11. Southampton 12. Coventry 13. Portsmouth 14. Millwall 15. Blackpool 16. Cardiff 17. Derby 18. Brighton 19. Watford 20. Bristol City 21. Palace 22. Barnsley 23. Peterborough 24. Doncaster I'm just off to the bookies
Give Leeds & Birmingham & Holloways Tangerines a bit more credit ... Would push them top 7 - IMO anyway!
I have Leeds in play-offs!! I kept Blackpool down a bit as I think one of those teams will struggle. Both Blackpool and Brum could lose some decent players and that may hurt them. Also thin k that many teams in that league will know more about Blackpool and their matches won't be so much of a cup final this season.
i think it'll look like 1. Reading 2. West Ham 3. Leicester 4. Birmingham 5. Forest 6. Burnley 7. Middlesborough 8. Leeds 9. Hull 10. Saints 11. Cardiff 12. Blackpool 13. Brighton 14. Portsmouth 15.

One things for sure there's going to be alot of disapointed big teams left in the Championship again,There's only one team i would say are certs for automatic promotion and that would be Leicester and then two from atleast eight other teams.
Hello Mr Jack..... live must be pretty good for you at the moment. You looking after Nathan for us ok?
Lifes great mate and as for Dyer it was no wonder he was fans favourite his work rate is absolutly first class and nothing seems to phase him.
The chance of correctly predicting the order of the Championship (assuming all teams are equal) is 1/24 x 1/23 x 1/22 x ... x 1/2 x 1/1, or 1/(24!) which equals 1.61 x 10^-24, or 0.0000000000000000000000161%. So you should get good odds.
Hello Leicester fan here, certainly expections are very high here that this could be a promotion winning season. It will be a competitive league lots of clubs with big fan bases but I would be very disappointed finishing outside of the top two given the financial resources at our disposal. We ran out of steam towards the end of last season, but the start we had with the previous manager only collecting 5 out of 27 points in the first 9 games ultimately cost us. Sven's brief is to get us promoted and has been promised substantial funds by our new thai owners. Sven would have learnt a lot from last season and will bring in players to plug the gaps. As a side note our new owners have already started to splash the cash on the non-playing side after having spent over £100k relaying the pitch in January they have dug it up again and laying a new state of the art synthetic pitch as used by Arsenal and Wembley which is costing upwards of £400k. They also spent substantial sums installing 2 giant video screens in the ground and new electronic perimeter advertising hoarding. It is also rumoured they are paying £1m to Real Madrid for the preseason friendly game. If the owners are willing to spend that much on so called luxury items off the pitch expectations are they will invest heavily on the playing side. With regards to how Southampton will do, I can see you challenging for the play offs and certainly finishing comfortably in the top 10. In the past few seasons promoted newcomers into the league have done very well so you just never know. Good luck for the season.
Boro, Ipswich and Coventry too high IMO...... Cardiff, Leeds and Brum too low! Agree with us approx 10-12

Amazed people have Reading so high up considering Long is set to be off, along with other key players.
of course it is SAint Lambden, just a bit of anti-boredom guess work. Oh and I had Reading at 9th only, because of the players you mention going.
To be honest a lot of people have put peterborough at the bottom, i dont think this will have as i feel they have a better team then Doncaster and maybe even Watford or barnsley.
