Predict the top 6

[JackyFulham90]

In the Championship next season.
A lot will change with transfers & stuff but someone at work asked me who I think will finish in the top 6 I said

Derby
Fulham
Norwich
Reading
Cardiff
Nottingham Forest


Will be interesting to see how accurate this is come May

[PaulJ123]

If Blackburn hold onto Rhodes, I can see them being up there

[Macedo]

Fancy Wolves might do a back to back promotion.

[KingstonWhite]

Derby (C)
Norwich
Fulham (PO Winners) *touch wood*
Cardiff
Brighton
Nottingham Forest

Premier League Relegation:
West Brom
Leicester
Burnley 

[Lighthouse]

Bit early for predictions but -

Wigan
Brighton
Reading
Ipswich
Blackburn
Derby

None of the relegation sides will be close. Mind you when the transfers are done we may see a change.

[JackyFulham90]

Wigan

Derby

All 3 relegated sides will be there or there abouts just look at QPR,  Wigan & Reading this year

[Deanothefulhamfan]

Fulham - champions
Wigan
Cardiff
Reading
Brighton - Play off winners
Ipswich

[FortCollinsFulham]

Certainly early to guess but in no specific order...

Derby
Norwich
Blackburn
Reading
Fulham (here's to hoping  082.gif )
Wigan

Perhaps Derby, Fulham and Reading go up.

A lot of familiar teams it seems. And I think Leicester and Burnley will go straight back down. Along with a bit of a surprise, like Villa or wet spam.

But really, no one knows at this point. Although guessing is fun haha.

[dannyboi-ffc]

Derby
Wigan
Norwich
Fulham
Reading
Ipswich

norwich vs ipswich in the playoffs, that would be interesting.

Fulham to play norwich at wembley which means we are guarenteed to win!

Brighton need to find another manager so think they may struggle depending on who hey get,
Forest have Pearce who seems clueless.
Norwich have Neil Adams who couldn't get a win against us,
Derby may have some of there younger players sold and McLaren will need to pick them up from yesterdays lost

Think Watford might sneak in to the play offs this year and Sheff Weds finished well

Overall it will  be hard to predict lets wait and see, only thing I am sure about is QPR will be relegated

[@jolslover]

Norwich
Watford
Cardiff
Fulham (play off winners)
Wigan
Brighton

The sides that are down this year are not in the same class as the three that went down then. I just think this was the worst Prem in years. On saying that it could all change if the relegated teams make the right signings.

Reading won't be anywhere near the top 6 !
The club is currently in financial meltdown,
Wigan won't be as strong next season as the likes of Gomez and others are due to leave,
For me it's all about stopping Wolves , looked a ver good side this season and they've got something that all successful sides need , and that's called "momentum"
So for me (in no particular order) it's Wolves, Forest, Derby, Norwich, Cardiff and Fulham.
I've also got a strong feeling that our first game of the season will against either Wolves,Forest or Derby with the game being televised.
Derby were the better side yesterday but crucially experience told in the end as QPR were able to hold their nerve, they said before the game that the Derby side had 19 Premier League appearances between them whilest QPR had over 1700 , something that we should consider when we start recruiting .

Wolves looked great in League One. The Championship is a big step up. I think they will be an upper mid-table side (7th-10th) this season and a team which we will need to beat home and away to have a chance of automatic promotion. I think that Derby will be a play off side again. Some of their best players will be poached by other clubs. McClaren has a job and a half on his hands repairing the mental damage that was done with that loss yesterday. They should have won that game and they know it. Inexperience killed them yesterday.

Very early for predictions but I will go for :

Cardiff
Fulham
Norwich
Derby
Watford
Millwall (I think Holloway will do a good job with them. Knows the league the inside out.)

This seems like a sensible step until one considers that we're unlikely to attract players in their prime to drop out of the PL.

First and foremost, I would rather we recruit players with the qualities to make us better than other Championship sides. I'm not convinced that targeting players with PL experience who can no longer cut it at that level is the best strategy. Already, in Parker, Hangeland and Richardson, we have three players who, between them, must have the better part of a thousand PL games to their names. Moreover, though QPR won through yesterday, Leicester and Burnley gained promotion with hardly any PL experience in their teams.

How can anyone predict at this point? Nobody knows what our squad will look like opening day -- and nobody knows what anybody else's squad will look like either. Nobody has spent the last couple seasons watching and analyzing Championship football.

Silly.

[Riversider]

It doesn't make me an expert by any means, BUT, I've actually watched a hell of a lot Championship football and league 1 , incidentally Ben Pringle of Rotherham looks a very good player , if they go on to lose this he won't be at Rotherham next season.

It's all about opinions I guess, but even Ian Holloway would piss himself laughing at the suggestion that Millwall will be in the top 6 , sorry, not a hope in hell.
