What players should we be looking out for? Any of you know enough to pencil in the pre-kick off team of the division?

I'd like to know which players are going to take us apart or stop us scoring, there seem to be plenty of newcomers since the last time we were in this division.

i've said this before on a few other threads but the key players will be:


Ipswich: Darren Bent, young, quick England U-21 international striker, could cause us (Butters) a lot of trouble.

Leicester: David Connolly, will probably finish as divisions top goalscorer.

West Ham: Too many to name really; Sheringham, Rebrov, Harewood, Zamora, Chadwick, Carrick...

Sunderland: Marcus Stewart and Julio (?) Arca. Both quality players who could hold their own in the Prem.

I reckon these four will be fighting it out for the top two places, possibly Sheffield Utd as well, but I'm not sure if they have anyone decent except for Michael Tonge.

Forest have Andy Reid as well, who has been linked with various Prem sides, as well as having the bandy-legged freak David Johnson back from injury up front.

Leicester are going to piss this division.
There playing West Ham opening day i believe....could be very interesting that one.

I reckon West Ham will win it personally, they've got enough firepower now to beat anyone in this division, if their creaky defence can hold together.

Leicester obviously have a vastly superior manager in charge, but they'll miss Muzzy Izzet a lot.
