Usually at least one of em struggles adjusting to the Championship...

It’s worry none are great but all good enough for the top 6 as no be else is great either so all will be top 6
Fancy Boro will too as will Swansea so no room for error albeit I think we are some way off right now but with clucas and allen that should close the gap

It wouldn’t surprise me if all three of them came straight back up.
We will finish 10th.

When a team like Norwich, who were shockingly bad last year, is able to retain Pukki, they are still going to be handful. More often than not in the Championship teams set out to get an early goal and then not over commit. Pukki is a great goalscorer. Getting 11 last year in that team kind of shows it. If he gets injured, Norwich may well fade out however.

Warnock will get Boro up this season either automatic or the play offs.

Norwich not unlikely to lose some more of their starlets in January Bournemouth have done very well so far. Think it's likely there will be lots of different sides in and out of the top six this season, more than usual. Middlesbrough, Swansea are no better than anyone else. |

He is very good at taking teams up and also very good at taking them down again. It seems like his preferred football is perfect for the Championship, but really shit in the PL.  |

I think Norwich top, Bournemouth next, and playoffs Swansea, Brentford, Watford and Millwall

Asmir Begovic is in top form for Bournemouth seemingly which is helping them.
Ridiculous that he was ousted from the club in favour of Ramsdale last season and probably a big contributing factor in their relegation.

I love Bego and he’s been our best keeper in PL era imo but he was making lots of mistakes for them before he got “ousted”. I think he needed the break more than anything. And then dropping down a level has probably helped with that too. |

As has been said before they're isn't really an outstanding side in the division and it will come down to fine margins over the whole season. We are by no means the finished article and considering we are a work in progress we are doing ok. I think this season is probably a bit too early to be challenging top 6, but next season with the odd inspired signing, who knows.

Think 5 of the current top 6 will be there all season. With only reading dropping out of the playoff places.
Are we good enough to grab that 6th spot? Probably not as we struggle to create enough scoring opportunities.
Think it'll be from 7th to 10th for us this term. Moving in right direction though.

I think all 6 will drop out & go back in & drop out all season no outstanding teams (again) Warnock give Boro an advantage Bournemouth will be delighted by their start |
