Be interesting how the teams relegated from the PL get on, normally they are all expected to be top 2 but I'm not sure this season.
Watford have gone against the foreign manager you've never heard of grain and appointed Rob Edwards from Forest Green Rovers. This is either genius or he's sacked by October.
Norwich don't seem to have the usual swagger that HMS P*ss The League is about to set sail. Dean Smith has done it before with Villa (albeit via the Playoffs) but players like Pukki aren't getting any younger.
Burnley with Kompany seem to me like could be a good shout, but they seem to be losing players and the championship can be a slog, I expect some decent top notch loans to come along though which will help them.
Out of the rest I think that lot from the other side of the City will be there or there abouts, Swansea who at times were great but liked having 80% possession rather than grinding out results will be better. Boro will be in the mix under Wilder and I fancy someone like Preston to be around the Playoffs. Sunderland I reckon will be top 8-10 too.
Please revisit this thread in March when Norwich, Watford & Burnley are top 3 and 15 points clear of the rest :)

Can Huddersfield lift themselves after the heartbreak of the play off final, and give it another go this season?

This is Watford you’re talking about, he’ll be lucky to make it to September.

True think I might been over generous with October :)
Cannot see it they did amazing to get there but got a feeling that they will start off badly
Can see Sheff United being in the mix if they get off to a good start

Hopefully coventry will lose the stadium again and get relegated.

They're your equivalent to my L***s, yeah? Any particular reason (not having a go, by the way)?

What a great player he was, his stride seemed to just leave players in his wake. Beat WBA first game of the season 2-1 and he was fantastic. Part of a very good Cov side too. Good? They fought relegation after relationship every bloody year. And escaped the drop in 77 or 78 by cheating...
