In this League next season, we will have... Three out of Barnsley, Birmingham, Bolton, Burton and Reading. We wil have Blackburn, Wigan back. Maybe Rotherham too and they were truly dreadful 2 years ago. Ipswich minus Big Mick McCarthy QPR who still have tread carefully owing to FFP. Forest, who are average at best. Millwall- overachieving brilliantly this year, but they won't replicate it- teams know how to play them now and I foresee them being midtable or maybe lower next year.

Add Sheffield United to the overachievers as well I think. Norwich, Leeds & Wednesday should do better than they have this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll go down next season but they'll tail off to midtable probably with their current side. The three underachievers you list are interesting. They should all do better yeah. However, Sheffield Wednesday have major FFP problems in the works. Norwich? Could go either way, they have a bit of FFP issues too, sold Pritchard and may have to sell Maddison too, so it's hard to judge. Leeds though, on paper at least- absolutely.

They aren`t the car crash of a club they once were getting through five managers a season and, as you say, on paper their squad should be one of the best in the division. If it all clicks for them next season they could really do it at last. Financially they seem OK too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Right then fellow OTIB visitors. When i come back into work on Tuesday we will know which two will be joining Sunderland in League one next year and who we will take away trips to once again next season. My prediction. Bolton & Birmingham Something in the back of my mind thinks that both Burton and Barnsley will win and with Birmingham playing Fulham away and with a worse goal difference than Reading already, they will be going down.

I think Burton and Barnsley will go down, only Bolton are playing a team with nothing to play for so have a good chance on winning and getting to 43 points, I think Reading, Barnsley, Burton and Birmingham will all lose as playing teams who all need to win, goal difference is the saviour for Birmingham and Reading unless of course the other teams win but I can’t see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Of all the things left to decide in the league the top and bottom of the championship are the most intriguing now. Virtually all the play off/promotion/relegation places are settled apart from in our league. It tells you what a good competitive division it is IMO.

Bolton have shown they can get a result at home when the chips are down and with Forest on the beach they ought to do it. Reading & Brum should have enough points in the bag to be OK although both Fulham & Cardiff will be going for it. Both of those will be on Sky I imagine. . Should have had a bet though.

havanatopia Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I thought the title thread was an analysis about City's relegation run in for 2018/19, having been on such form since Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
