I have to agree about Swansea and Reading. Swansea had a good coach who got the best out of his team. But they have now lost the last of their parachute payments and the quality players that went with it.

Reading looked bang average against us and seemed to fluke it all season when I saw them and have lost good players this summer on top of that. I expect they will struggle as well. Don't think they will be relegated personally but will be down there.

It's clear that Derby look like going. Blackburn are doing the exact same as happened to us under mowbray. I think it will be Peterboroughor hull for the 3rd relegation spot.

I thought this was Swansea’s last year of payments

Relegated in 18 weren't they? So 3 years of payments would take them to the end of last season? Unless I'm mistaken may well be

It’s 4 years of payments I think

Nope, believe it changed to 3 years in 2016/17 unless it changed back? It's changed multiple times admittedly.

Just checked, it is still 3 years, but only 2 if you only stay up for 2 seasons now.

Second tier podcast got us going down in 22nd

Didn’t they have us going down as bottom last year?

Aren’t they a bitter bunch of Wednesdayites who also predicted their own team surviving the drop last year and also predicted Barnsley relegated too?

Absolutely no analysis about from three blokes opinions based on who they liked.

Forest fans paint a gloomy picture for them this season. Be interesting on Sunday given their views on their left and right backs. Surely if this is true then we need to be exploiting them from the off with our wingbacks. They have no senior left or right back for Sunday

State of Squad - a week to go | Forestfans

Here are my ratings for quality of the current squad Goalkeepers: Samba (8 out of 10), Horvath (6), Smith (4) Full backs: Blackett (5), Bong (2), Gabriel (4), Richardson

Dacosta being our most underrated player is an interesting one.

Will people really care enough to be giving Mowbray a torrid time?

Swansea & Reading to fall that hard..?! Surely not?

Swansea manager just upped sticks and left the club! Might be problems afoot in the club?

The72 have got their journalist to predict the league too. They've gone for us as finishing 14th, 18th, 18th and 22nd. Interestingly, they all put Derby as 24th apart from the last writer, who put them one place above city.

Obviously it's a long season, and the transfer window is not yet over, but I'd be interested to know how many people think (based on current squads etc) that Derby would finish above us!? I mean, they don't even have enough players to field a team right now do they?

The72 predicts the final 2021/22 Championship table - Derby woes? Fulham to prosper? Luton dark horses?

The Championship gets underway this Friday night, with Bournemouth welcoming West Brom in the inaugural game of the new 2021/22 season.

covcity4life · Aug 4, 2021

Think Fulham will win league

Cov 12th

Or 6th and win playoffs.

One of the two

There is always the surprise package that ends up in the relegation mix, could be Reading this year.

Imagine being a journalist and your editor comes in and says I want you to predict the finished championship table.
I’d be like yeah no problem and this afternoon I’ll count how many hairs I’ve got.

Outside the failure payment clubs and the basket cases It’s the most unpredictable league in the world.
You need some very good luck putting the 14 clubs between 5th top and bottom in the betting in some sort of order all 14 could finish absolutely anywhere.

24 teams - 5 at the top - 5 at the bottom = 14

Correction he says 5th top and "Bottom".

Got to fancy Blackburn to be right in the shit, assuming Armstrong leaves as looks likely. No Harvey Elliott.

Pretty much the worst form team from about November onwards

and yet again they have a half & half shirt design, chairman needs to be binned

clint van damme · Aug 6, 2021

I put us 13th, 14th or 15th.
Think Fulham and Albion for the autos and Derby to go.
The rest of it? Anything could happen.

Armstrong's scoring record aside, Mowbray has a habit of starting the season strongly, sometimes just enough that when they do fall away, they still survive. Not a fan with a positive opinion of that club since their Premiership days but I think a lot of people are underestimating them.

Opinion providers are saying Forest will do well. Fans here saying "WTF ???". Wonder how much of the press are sitting back and looking at Hughton and saying his managerial ability will be the decider for them, not whats on the pitch ?

That’s because people love Chris Hughton personally I think he is boring like his teams.
