    I was crap (again):

    Champions: Derby
    Did not even make the play-offs! Mind you, I wasn't alone in that prediction.

    Promoted: Cardiff
    11th

    Play-Off Teams : Wigan (promoted), Reading, Norwich City, Wolves
    Only one out of four right

    Relegated: Blackpool, Millwall, Rotherham
    But who could have predicted Wigan would be so awful? They still have some very good players.

    Charlton's Final Position: 21st as of now (but 16th if we sign a couple of good strikers)
    A very respectable 12th. We signed one goods striker (Watt) plus Eagles and Bulot found some form.

    Over-Achievers: Bournemouth (they've got Yann!)
    I got that right, but still did not tip them for the top six places.

    Under-Achievers: Nottingham Forest (I have no faith in Pearce) and Fulham
    Spot on there (Pearce sacked), though I did not expect Fulham to sink that low.

    League Top Scorer: Chris Martin
    Hampered by injury which probably cost Derby at least a play-off place.

    Charlton Top Scorer: ??? yet to be signed (I hope!). (Vetokele gone by January along with Peeters)
    JBG and Vetokele joint top scorers. (Peeters went but Vetokele got injured so not sold).

    Player of the Year: Jordan Cousins (unless kept out of the team a lot by RD's favourite, Buyens)
    Still my player of the year. Certainly not kept out by Buyens. On the contrary, over-played if anything.

    Think I faired worst to be honest:

    Champions: Norwich City - late surge but not enough.
    Promoted: Cardiff - wrong.
    Play-Off Teams (Plus Winner): Fulham, Brighton, Derby, Blackburn - none of them made it, woeful!
    Relegated: Leeds United.. Blackpool.. Rotherham - 1 out of 3, the 1 being obvious.

    Charlton's Final Position: 14th - nearly.
    Over-Achievers: Brentford / second to Bournemouth.
    Under-Achievers: Notts Forest - definitely underachied.

    League Top Scorer: Gary Hooper (will change if he leaves)- nope.
    Charlton Top Scorer: Will come back to this one. - I would have said gudmundson

    Player of the Year: Gudmundson - has to be.

    So put your bets on the opposite of everything on here! - I got this right.

    Champions: Derby... nope

    Promoted: Fulham... hell no

    Play-Off Teams (Plus Winner): Norwich (winner), Blackburn, Brighton, Ipswich... 2 out of 4. Still reckon Norwich will win the play-offs

    Relegated: Blackpool. Rotherham, Huddersfield... 1 out of 3. No-one foresaw what would happen to Wigan, surely?

    Charlton's Final Position: 14th... nearly

    Over-Achievers: Brentford... yep

    Under-Achievers: Cardiff... yep

    League Top Scorer: Jordan Rhodes... nope

    Charlton Top Scorer: Igor Vetokele...joint with JBG

    Player of the Year: Lawrie Wilson... haha nope

    Too wrong. Except for Blackpool and Millwall going down.
