The Championship - who's gonna win it?

TBM · by **TBM** » 23 Mar 2015 12:24

Currently 8pts seperates Bournemouth in 1st to Wolves in 8th.....
I can't remember the league being this tight before.

Who do you reckon is gonna end up being crown champions?

Current table:
1 - Bournemouth (+42) 73pts
2 - Watford (+32) 72pts
3 - Middlesbrough (+29) 72pts
4 - Norwich (+33) 70pts
5 - Derby (+26) 67pts
6 - Ipswich (+16) 67pts
7 - Brentford (+12) 66pts
8 - Wolves (+11) 65pts

Anyone but Bournemouth, please!

PS. Does the Madstad have a Championshop?

I want Derby to win it after the last-gasp heartache of last season when QPR fluked their way into the Premier League. I'm not sure they will now though.

Pretty much impossible to predict really but I'll go with:

Bournemouth
Norwich
----
Watford Boro P/O final, Watford winning it.
Derby and Wolves losing semi finalists.

Why?

Bournemouth would be gr8. Put many a team to shame with their small budget, including Reading!

I think it'll finish

Watford
Middlesbrough

Derby
Bournemouth
Norwich
Wolves

I can see Norwich beating Derby in the P/O Final

Personally I say good luck to the Muff, they have played some great stuff this season and deserve their time in the limelight. Although spending over £3m on one striker doesn't make them the plucky underdog they are often portrayed as.

Other than that wouldn't be too disappointed if Norwich or Boro went up. decent clubs and sets of fans and they seem to have a bit of momentum behind them at the moment.

As for the clubs I would like to see fail miserably that would be:

Derby - think they are too big for the Championship and have conveniently forgotten about the 1980s when they were playing in Division 3 with the likes of little Reading. If the glory day memories are in black and white then it is time to move on.

Watford - gobby fans and what is this golden glory hole boys business about....?

would like new sets of fans to get to experience it so Bournemouth & Brentford would be ideal, but i think Brentford wont do it.

ipswich would be nice

I'd quite like to see Bournemouth go up for the LOLz they'll provide on MOTD next year

massive admiration for Bournemouth and Brentford for what they've achieved. Not looking forward to our home games v them coming up.

I voted Norwich, I reckon they have the best players.

Ian Royal · by **Ian Royal** » 23 Mar 2015 18:34

I'll (almost certainly inaccurately) go for:
1. Bournemouth
2. Middlesbrough
3. Norwich
4. Watford
5. Derby
6. Ipswich
7. Wolves

1 Bournemouth
2 Norwich
Watford to win p/o

ayjaydee · by **ayjaydee** » 24 Mar 2015 22:31

I've got money on Watford winning it and Wolves to get promoted - so neither of those then!

Derby v Watford should be a decent watch later on tonight.

Martin back for Derby could be the boost they need, and you'd say they're probably going to have to win this one. A defeat and Watford will be 8 points clear of them.

Muff got a tough one away at Ipswich and 'Boro look like they've got the easiest task at home to Wigan.

1. B'muff
2. Watford
3. Derby
4.' Boro
5. Norwich
6. Ipswich

Norwich v Ipswich Play Off Final would be great for the neutral.
