[Football] Championship run in

[Surf's Up]

Much as I like Brentford as a day out and much as I'd like to see their new ground I think they'll miss out again via the play-offs. I think Norwich and Watford will go up via the auto slots and I fancy outsiders Barnsley to win the play offs on the basis that their psycho press renders them virtually unplayable!

Norwich Brentford and Reading - All decent days out and we will finish above all three.

Norwich l'm ambivalent about, and certainly earned the right for a return to the Premier League having led the division virtually since day one.

Despite Brentford being my nearest league club when l was growing up in Staines, l have never been a fan of theres for some strange reason.

Reading a decent day out? the Majtad is nowhere near the centre of town, and miles from anywhere! The epitome of a beige football club.

Who do you want to see go up? This is of course, on the potentially mistaken assumption that we will stay up.

I feel Brentford are overdue, been knocking around 4th-8th for ages now, feels like. Would also like to visit Griffin Park.

Fine with Norwich going up as - rightly or wrongly - they're a side I'm always confident against.

8/9 games to go - except Rotherham who are bizarrely 4 games behind everyone else, anyone know why?

Did you not think to guess it could be that? ha ha

Only a matter of time before we have the first season where all 3 promoted are then immediately relegated again.

Before too much longer it will become rare that this won't happen

 

[FatSuperman]

Is the correct answer

No way! That would mean we start the season outside the CL spots. I'm not having it.

I want Wycombe and some teams that start with Zzzzz

You'd think I'd have known about the ol' pandemic by now, wouldn't you?

 

[tronnogull]

We are told that Tony Bloom really really dislikes Brentford's owner. That's good enough for me to wish them nothing but angst.

Like many here, I am very hopeful that we won't be too worried about the relegation scrap next season. But, on the off chance that happens then who in the current top 6 is most likely to be weak if they go up ? Possibly Norwich, Barnsley, and Reading.

 

[Milano]

Anyone but Watford, I have a real dislike for them, I’m not even sure why!!

 

[Perkino]

Watford & Bournemouth may spend big to remain in the league so I'd rather both of those stayed in the Championship, happy with any of the others as I feel they would have very limited spending power

 

[Easy 10]

Reading a decent day out? the Majtad is nowhere near the centre of town, and miles from anywhere! The epitome of a beige football club.

Anyway, I don't really care who is promoted as long as its NOT Reading (boring as shite) or Middlesbrough (boring as shite and we never seem to beat them).

 

[AmexRuislip]

Would love to see Watford and Brentford promoted, both local for Albion away games

 

[Jeremiah]

Very much depends on whether we stay up or go down.

Normally If we stay up I would like to see the 3 weaker top teams go up - however I think we can finish above any of them if we stay up !

You weren't that far out

 

[WhingForPresident]

In an ideal world, I'd like to see Swansea, Brentford and Barnsley come up but that's obviously not possible now. Just hope Middlesbrough and Reading don't get promoted, though I would enjoy seeing either lose in a play-off final (as long as it isn't the other that wins it obviously).

 

[Skaville]

As I have one son who supports the Albion and another who supports Watford, I'm keen for them to be back in the same division.

I know they say everyone loves their children equally but...

He was born on Vicarage Road, albeit he has lived in Sussex since roughly his first birthday.

Whilst it's not the right choice, I respect him for it.

Anyone but reading.

Anyone but reading.

Anyone but the Pluckies for me. Barnsley or Brentford if I had a choice.
