SkyBet Championship 2017/18

[SM]

The 24 teams of the Championship for next season have now been decided, so I thought I would fire this thread up!

With iFollow making things a bit easier to watch, it should be a pretty engaging and interesting season.



Fixtures will be out 21st June, so only three weeks away.

Has there been any more updates/information on iFollow?

Yeah it's club specific so you won't want it.

You'd have to say we're best value given the monetary resources we have - I guess you could say the same of Wolves but their squad is inferior.

Oh dammit! That's so annoying, was hoping there'd be something bigger than just one club.

Might still get it for Sheffield United.

I don't even mind Sunderland at those odds tbh.

They have a lot more financial pressure though, but yeah they could be decent. Was thinking last night of chucking a $10 multi on for the four leagues.

I definitely will haha. I'll probably have something on quite a few in that Championship market.

Look at those Yo-yos ready to bounce back up (OK, did I miss something about Villa? Why are they 2nd favourites?)

Would love to see Wolves, Wednesday, and another Yorkshire team to be back up.

Would like to see Forest, Derby, and Milwall bugger off.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Feel like Norwich will come back up, they tend to yo-yo quite a bit and have the latest export from the Dortmund footy coaching factory at the helm

Villa have a terrific squad and now have a settled manager and outlook, since Bruce came in they've looked quite good but just started from pretty far back. They had a hiccup but he's settled them down now.

Terrfic Squad? Villa? Been a long time since I've heard that.

Looking at their squad? Yeah, pretty solid there? Bruce knows how to get promotion done, so I guess its justified.

I just remembered that's where De Laet went, and he can barely get a game for them, sigh. I thought he was the better player between him and Simpson. How things change.

 

[RossFC]

If Leeds can't get in a playoff spot next season they might as well give up.

What about Ipswich in that case? Lol.

They'll have a new manager and their squad really isn't that good. Would be surprised if they finish top 6.

Great strikers for the division, solid base for defence, midfield is a bit light on but Jedinak is still pretty decent, and I think they're after a new keeper.

Well, you do need the complete package. With a bit of work, yeah, they could contend, especially with Bruce at the helm.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Norwich likely to win it I think, but it's a raffle for the other top-6 spots. Should be highly competitive as always.

 

[Bostonian]

$4 for Fulham is good if they hold onto Cairney.

May depend how liberal Radrizzani is with his purse.

There's a solid base to the squad. Need some support for Wood up front, and a CB now that Bartley has gone back to Swansea.

A little creativity to take the load off Hernandez would be useful too


Edit: may also depend if Wood is sold or not.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Cmon Fulham, Hull and Leeds scum.

Championship is good for supporters...Never realised how many northern teams their were.

Sunderland to Bournemouth must have been horrible last year.

How do you know who he is?

Kidding aside, I can't see them holding onto him.

Because we've been linked to him

They have a super rich owner so money isn't necessarily a big factor for them. They might do what we did and hang onto their best for one more season despite big offers for their better players.
