    Based on the current squads who do you see going up or down in 2013?

    Obviously with the current names & numbers Leeds do not seem best placed etc, but I thought it would be interesting to see how opinions change with comings and goings over the summer months in the Championship.

    Top 6:

    Bolton
    Watford
    ---------
    Leicester
    Sheff Wed
    Crystal Palace
    Wolves

    Bottom 3:

    Barnsley
    Peterborough
    Birmingham (-10 pts)

    We'll win it after we've signed Ledley King, Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves and Craig Gordon (subject to Bill Gates or similar philantropist buying buying the club).

    Bolton are an interesting one. I thought that they were in deep doo-doo given that their huge debt repayments were only sustainable on PL income?

    Going on how things are currently:

    1. Bolton
    2. Wolves
    -------------------
    3. Cardiff
    4. Blackpool
    5. Leicester
    6. Huddersfield

    We'll just avoid relegation if Bates stays.

    Yeah. We are ****ed. Pardon my language tonight - again, I'm drinking. I blame work. And sexual frustration. You lot are my outlet.

    Unlucky.

    Every year throws up a surprise team, plus their form was quite good it the second half of last season. If they can keep it going they could do it...

    On current teams I'd say

    Wolves
    Birmingham
    -----------
    Cardiff
    Bolton
    Blackburn
    Leicester

    But it won't be on current team so I predict the actual 3 to get promoted will be:

    Leeds :)
    Wolves
    and Blackpool

    And I can't be bothered to predict bottom 3, all I know is Millwall will be in it <laugh>

    Really? I wouldn't say you have been disregarded, 4 out of 6 people think you will make the play-offs and 2 of those have you in the Autos. I don't count that as disregarded but whatever

    My prediction for the top 6 challenge at the start of the season was:

    BOLT
    CARD
    HULL
    LEIC

    Apart from Bolton not bad, it will be a three horse race all the way to the finish in my opinion, all three teams have a decent squad all have board backing. Cardiff's to lose, would hate to call it between Hull and Leicester for the other auto, personally I would love to see Watford or Palace sneak the other spot and have an end of season play off between Hull and Leicester <ok>
