Somewhere in north Malaysia
1. Newcastle Poor defence, poor midfield, indifferent attack, won’t win it by much
2. Derby Pearson exponent of the 4-3-3 which Derby is made to measure. Little recruitment expected as they have overspent.
-----------------------------
3. Villa Woeful + Gestede
4. Norwich Too ordinary and boring. Not as good as Hull.
5. Brighton & Hove Albion Who will we sign?
6. Wednesday Defence is not lucky by accident.
------------------------------
7. Wolves Injury hit last season and players sold
8. Forest Got to watch this team as they showed signs last season. Team not to write of as the Albion were.
9. Preston NE I thought they were going to win against our ten men reserves at the Amex.
10. Ipswich Nearly as boring as Norwich. Hard to beat.
11. Brentford Ahead of QPR
12. QPR Behind Brentford.
-------------------------------
13. Cardiff Transition
14. Reading Transition
15. Wigan Underwhelmed
16. Fulham I don’t think they are all bad. Just keep letting in goals.
17. Birmingham Hotch potch of a team
--------------------------------
18. Burton Beat some higher League teams in the Cup two seasons back
19. Blackburn Direct, set pieces
20. Rotherham Plucky
21. Bristol C Slow and even worse
--------------------------------
22. Barnsley ???
23. Huddersfield T From poor to worse
24. Leeds U Lucky to win even a single game.
With Monk now Leeds manager, I'd expect them to challenge for top 10

I was compiled before this change. Now they might avoid relegation. Might not even be the worst in Yorkshire?

Last season
I had the Albion finishing sixth so we overachieved. I had one out of Boro and Deby missing out. Derby I think. I did not tip Burnley or Hull but tipped Wednesday as champions. I had Fulham and QPR in the play-offs. I also has Charlton relegated.

Last season, I had us finishing eighth (then again, the season before that, I had us finishing fifth).
I did say that Hull and Boro would go up automatically, and Burnley via the play-offs, so got the three promoted at least.

Before all the buying and selling to come. Not being unduly pessimistic as I think we are going to have make some recruitment and keep our existing players and he same applies to our rivals.

Two Yorkshire clubs avoid relegation.

1. Newcastle
2. Derby
-----------------------------
3. Villa
4. Norwich,
5. Brighton & Hove Albion
6. Wednesday
------------------------------
7. Wolves
8. Forest
9. Preston NE
10. Ipswich
11. Brentford
12. QPR
-------------------------------
13. Cardiff
14. Reading
15. Wigan
16. Fulham
17. Birmingham
--------------------------------
18. Burton
19. Blackburn
20. Rotherham
21. Bristol C
--------------------------------
22. Barnsley
23. Huddersfield T
24. Leeds U.


Promotion clubs expected (like Burnley) to win home and away against the bottom seven.

To be Champions, we might have to win every game in Yorkshire.

I'm gonna change my prediction (not by much though), but I'll wait on the latest transfers

Everyone had Hudds bottom 6 at best looking at it, but probably every other championship forum will have done the same at the start of the season, the margins between top and bottom are so fine in this division
