The Championship who goes(up) YOU decide

[Ian Royal]

I think it's more accurate to say all the squad want to play in the premiership which means they'll be trying hard to get us there/really impress to get a transfer.

We won't lose many more between now and deadline day.

[Row Z Royal]

Now you've done it.

[Vision]

I would just like to to add that i only picked 2 teams on this poll because in the spirit of SDR it's "top 2 or nothing".

Neither of them was Reading btw.

[winchester_royal]

Automatic promotion : Us and Brum

Play-off : Palace, Sheff Utd, Burnley, QPR

Play-off : Palace, Sheff Utd, Burnley, QPR

Play-off winners : Palace

Blades chairman demands promotion
I say we shouldn't underestimate them either. They put in a super unbeaten run at the back end of last season after Robbo left. Kevin Blackwell is a very good manager and they've got Gary Speed, Ehiogu and Henderson added to the line-up.

I voted for them to go up and am surprised that they have got so few votes.

And we don't have to hate them now as Warnock isn't there.

I accept full responsibility for any mass exodus that suddenly occurs in the next 3-4 weeks.

[floyd__streete]

I am going to have a wild p*ss in the dark myself, so here goes:

Top two: Birmingham, Sheffield United

Play-offs: Derby, Wolves, Palace, Charlton

Going down: Blackpool, Plymouth, Barnsley

Surprise package: Reading

[Lord Howe-Howe]

Two winning automatic promotion .............QPR & Brum
Four play off sides ................................Cardiff, Sheff United, Wolves, Palace
Three going down.................................Wednesday, Blackpool, Doncaster
Surprise packet....................................Burnley

[londinium]

Derby top, Birmingham second and Sheffield United through the playoffs for me.

I reckon QPR, Wolves and Swansea will complete the top six.

I could have posted this after many a rant from Royalee, and yes I know it is only 1 game, but thats 27 games without a win for Jewell and the haplessly crap Derby carry on as they left off last season!!!

Infact it is worse than last season... keep it up Jewell

[earleyroyal]

Derby top

Said it before, say it again:



Doncaster to be the surprise package,

[Royalee]

Very good after one game. Doncaster played some good football in League One last season, which is why they'll be mid-table but not as good as Swansea. Derby'll be fine, time will tell.

Another person judging a season on one game - f*ck it, we'd have stayed up if we could've matched Man Utd every week last season.

[readingbedding]

Haven't won a game since November last year.

Not the best start from a team nailed on to win the thing.

I thought we proved that form in a previous season doesn't determine another?

I'll be happy to eat my words at the end of the season when Derby romp home with 107 points ( ) but my opinion of their season is not based solely on this game. Even allowing for Merson saying that Derby were 'a class above', and the fact that Derby haven't won for 32 games (I think), their squad isn't that good.

Good start though.

Nice work Batman re Soton...but you were more like the Joker re Cardiff and Swansea

[Archie's penalty]

Happy that I got three of the top four right. That is all.
