The Championship 2019/20

TheBigIguana · August 9, 2019

A little late on this one but the season has kicked off in what is always a high entertainment, questionable quality league. I still pull for the classic top flight sides like Forest, Wednesday and even Leeds to make it back up. No more Wales please either.

Anyway any predictions on who comes up to the big time of the Premier League at the end of this season?

It's Division 2.

Not a clue but Derby will be full of confidence and Leeds have Beelzibub or whatever his name.

I should watch more Division 2 stuff. It's less predictable and less scripted than Division 1.

Championship is always a decent competition, not so sure Cardiff, Fulham or Huddersfield will bounce straight back. You would think Leeds are in with a good shout, but plenty of others will fancy their chances.
Not a betting man but as an outside bet for promotion I'd stick money on QPR. The amount of times they lost points at the end of games last season was ridiculous. Put that right ,and I believe they strengthened during the summer.

Div one , I hope Ipswich, though Sunderland really should romp it.

Div 2, bit like grand national, get a pin. Swindon would be my bet, with walsall in the running.

Leeds,Brentford,Derby in no particular order,its a very competitive league,but I think Brentford play very good football,plus moving to a new stadium will give them incentive,Leeds have been gone for too long,even though I dont like them,Derby I think have to get promoted with FFP biting at their heels

Hoping for Forest to come up, but somehow doubt that will happen.

Leeds, Brentford and Fulham.

The thing with Leeds is theres as much chance of a massive implosion as there is of promotion

100%. I like the young arsenal striker they just got. 20+ goals in him. I wouldn’t put my own money on them coming up lol

Would be okay with Stoke coming up because that's just down the road from me these days

Would take Forrest and Sheff Wed as well, just because I've never been to their grounds so it would be an interesting away day

Sam Vokes will score bags of goals for them. Plus got hogan in who scored goals at that level. Could easily get playoffs, but can say that about 15 teams in that league.

From what I've seen of the championship it looks like the quality has improved the last couple of years

Its a very competitive league,last season the final couple of fixtures,I think it was only QPR that were not involved in a promotion/playoff/relegation scenario

Absolutely no idea. They have such a young team they do still look weak in a few areas.
Good to win the first game though but I do still feel they’ll be a little short.
