3 Ipswich
4 Norwich
5 brighton
6 derby county

Playoff final. Norwich vs Ipswich.

Care to explain why you think Cardiff and Ipswich will be anything other than also rans?

FWIW I, too, think we'll do no better than playoff defeat again

 

[brighton terra]

Brentford will be nearer the top than the bottom!

I was actually quite impressed with Cardiff...and they dispatched us with ease. I think they will be a force. Ipswich will be buoyed having their rivals Norwich to add some spice and having the best manager in the division( IMHO) they will be a force. I also think Wednesday and Fulham will be better sides next season.

 

[BensGrandad]

Newcastle
Villa
Norwich
Derby
Brighton
Reading.

I think Reading will finish 6th holding off challenges from Ipswich, Cardiff Wednesday and Forest.

 

[T soprano]

Brighton 101pts next season automatic promotion

 

[dangull]

I would take playoffs again next season.

The law of averages means we are bound to win 1 game eventually.

 

[Petee]

1 Newcastle
2 Norwich
3 Derby
4 Brighton
5 QPR
6 Sheff Wed
7 Wigan
8 Nottingham Forest
9 Ipswich
10 Cardiff
11 Aston Villa
12 Blackburn
13 Birmingham
14 Reading
15 Brentford
16 Wolves
17 Preston
18 Huddersfield
19 Bristol City
20 Leeds
21 Rotherham
22 Fulham
23 Burton
24 Barnsley

Just what the doctor ordered after coming sooooo close this time.

 

[Seagull58]

I would take playoffs again next season.

We will have to win more than 1 to go up through the play-offs.

 

[Icy Gull]

We will have to win more than 1 to go up through the play-offs.

Auto or more choking/ robbery will follow. I have zero confidence in us winning the playoffs.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Newcastle
Brighton
Wigan (play offs)

 

[joker]

It is a bit early but I think the three to drop will be Huddersfield, Preston and Burton.
I also think that Forest and Fulham will be somewhere around the play offs, especially if Fullham manage to hang on to RM.
Hate to say it but I think the Albion will be play off again, although I obviously hope we are in the top two.
I've a feeling Derby and Sheffield Wednesday will get raided for their a few of their players, Forestiari and Hooper will go to the highest bidders, as will the Albino at Derby.
Got a sneaky feeling Barnsley might do a Preston and be a tricky team to beat next year.
But hey, what do I know.

 

[sir albion]

No doubts we'll be up there for sure...
Maybe we'll go to Newcastle and win 3-1 on the last game

 

[wigman]

Way too early to make predictions.

 

[Notters]

Where's the FAGDPts columns? Sheesh.

 

[Arkwright]

I think it's best to reserve judgment until we know who has gone and who has come in. That said I would put money on a top six finish for the Albion.
You would be daft to bet against Newcastle, Aston villa and Norwich being top six with Derby.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

I just hope 442 magazine tips us to get relegated
