Which two teams are going up from the Championship automatically?

[Icy Gull]

It's a tough one to predict again this year imo but I am going to plump for Derby and Watford.

I'm not convinced by Stuart Pearce however many players he has at Forest. Wolves are on a roll from last year but don't convince me either. Cardiff, not convinced that OGS has the experience. Norwich have a rookie manager as well. I think you need experience of this division to get out of it.

Wigan, maybe Ipswich. maybe but I'll stick with my two original gut feeling choices. I can't see it being Albion but I would love to be wrong. More playoff stress for us I fear.

Bournemouth are my dark horses if they can stay relatively injury free.

 

[The Truth]

Brighton and Watford.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Forrest and Derby

 

[surrey jim]

Derby and Nottingham Forrest

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Norwich and Forest in that order.

But, lets see how we get on in the two away games there first, when we may be really flying, and perhaps we might be one of the two!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Loving all the Derby predictions - 0-0 against Wednesday, beaten by Charlton, held at home by Ipswich. Are people basing this on last season's achievements or on their 5-1 against a dire Fulham team in free fall?

 

[Mattywerewolf]

For me Norwich then forest. See the playoffs including Brighton (obviously), Derby, watford and cardiff...even though you didn't ask!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Notts. Forrest and Cardiff.

 

[Goldstone1976]

It is certainly tough to call. I think I'll plump for Watford and Forest, with Norwich in third.

With the squad we now have, we have a decent chance of another playoff spot, even with some injuries, providing they're at normal levels. Even though I'd love to see us get an auto spot, I can't really see that.

 

[Wilko]

I have a feeling that Wolves are going to do a double promotion. Norwich my shout for the other team. Forest to be leading up till Christmas but then have a spectacular fall in the new year

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Derby & Norwich.

 

[The Grockle]

Really want Millwall and Watford to do it but head says Norwich and Derby.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

As so many posters have already said, this is such a close one to call. For some reason l can't see any of the relegated Premier League teams going straight back up at the first time of asking. I'll plump for Notts Forest and Wolves, but without any degree of certainty.

 

[Simster]

Perm any two from about 15.

That's why this is the best LEAGUE. Consequently, it will temper my celebration if do end up leaving it in the right direction, and equally why league one looks such a shit prospect.

 

[perseus]

Forest and and any one of 15 other clubs

I agree, it's almost worth getting beat in the playoffs to stay here we will get mullered in the top division. As one Norwich fan said to me recently, " I have enjoyed the first few games of this season more than any run of games we had in the Premier League"

It is a FABULOUS division with some great teams, players, stadiums and football and we are competitive in it

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Norwich and Cardiff, in that order.

There are so many that'll be in the mix this season that I'll probably be wrong.

 

[Rugrat]

I could fairly comfortably give 6/7 who it won't be, after that I'd struggle

If pressed then Norwich and Forest (nearly put us)

 

[clippedgull]

Us and them

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The two teams that have the least injuries.
