Championship Predicitions
Aug 9th
We asked some of our Football League fans to fill out a serious of predicitions and they are as follows, if you would like to do the same then you can join in at our forums by clicking here.
True Saint [Southampton Fan]
Who will win the League?
Birmingham
Who will get relegated?
Swansea, Doncaster and Sheffield Wednesday
Who will be top goalscorer?
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
Biggest Suprise?
QPR
Who will be player of the year?
James Beattie
Biggest Disappointment?
Norwich
Tresor [Birmingham Fan]
Who will win the League? Hate to be so optimistic, but as backed up by all bookies and pundits, we have the strongest squad in the League, and I will disappointed not to win it. I realise that it’s not that easy, as Steve likes to remind me, but seriously, look at our firepower and depth.
Who will get relegated? Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday + any from Barnsley, Doncaster and Saints
Who will be top goalscorer? – Not one of our lot, we have too many for consistancy, Beattie is abit injury prone, so I’ll go for Earnshaw or most likely Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Biggest Suprise? Burnley or Coventry, Two quality squads, I expect both to finish top 8.
Who will be player of the year? Heart says Seb Larsson, Head says Sylvan Ebanks-Blake or Kightly.
Biggest Disappointment? QPR, I still think top 8 is a sure thing, but the hype means anything less than top 3 will be a disappointment; although to be fair to them, their fans know that the hype is a little too much. Also I think Coppell is losing it, and despite this being the same team that ran away with it 3 years ago, there is a different air around Reading
Hatch [Ipswich Fan]
Who will win the League?
Reading – They seem to have kept most their squad apart from Shorey.
Who will get relegated?
Doncaster, Southampton, Watford
Who will be top goalscorer?
Ebanks-Blake or Doyle
Biggest Suprise?
I reckon Coventry could be up there with a quick succesion of free transfers this week including the once prolific Clinton Morrison. The likes of East and West wood, Doyle and Tabb could be enough to push Cov towards those top two places.
Who will be player of the year?
I can see it being a Coventry player – Jay Tabb is peaking. Akos Buszaky could impress too.
Biggest Disappointment?
I can see Derby having a hard time and suffering a similar fate as Charlton and Sheffield Utd from last season. They will probably finish mid-table or worse.
Larry [West Ham Fan]
Who will win the League?
….can’t really see much further then Birmingham
Who will get relegated?
…Blackpool, Doncaster, not sure about who else
Who will be top goalscorer?
kevin phillips
Biggest Suprise?
Swansea
Biggest Disappointment?
again I think Charlton and Sheffield Utd

Season Preview – Birmingham Fan
Aug 7th

Who would you still realisitically like to sign?
Ben Watson, good young player, thank god we missed out on Balde though

Who? I don’t know really, we have weak positions as listed above, but not weak players, possibly the slow coaches Jaidi and Taylor at the back.
Where do you think you will finish the season?
top. But knowing us 11th
Is your manager the right man for the job?
I’d say so, signing the right men as far as I can see.
