Scott129 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I made a £10 bet with a Bournemouth-supporting friend of mine not too long ago that we'll finish above them next season. Do we reckon that was a wise investment? I won money on a similar bet last season involving Sheffield Wednesday. And, looking at the bigger picture, how do you think the other teams that are coming into this division will fare? I personally think Wigan will go back up and QPR and Reading will be there or thereabouts. As for the promoted teams, I think Bournemouth will be the only ones that avoid relegation, probably ending up around 18th/19th. Biggest bust potential is obviously QPR and I wouldn't be totally shocked to see them plummet in this division. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheep Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 If QPR keep Adel taarabt I think this season won't be that difficult for em' Reading-i'd say top 4 Wigan-around top 4 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I reckon Yeovil will surprise some. Well, surprise one anyway. Twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wigan will stay in the championship but no where near promotion, reading will finish just off play offs and QPR...god knows whats happening there! Bournemouth will stay up, as will Doncaster but Yeovil to go down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Reading will go up QPR will go up through play offs Wigan just miss out on play offs Bournemouth mid table Doncaster down Yeovil down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Think QPR will be pretty bad. Players won't be happy down here... lots of outgoings still to happen. If it doesn't start well then Redknapp will be managing the first southern job available in the Prem before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 QPR and Reading are far better than any of the sides in the NPC.. Far better than Blackburn, Bolton and Wolves who were all on the slide when they went down.. Reading especially have a fresh squad who know the NPC inside out.. They'll be up there for sure and will probably finish as champions.. Despite going down, they never looked like a bad side who had any major problems.. They just weren't good enough as a collective and that won't be a problem at NPC level. QPR if they get off to a good start will have such a good squad over the xmas time to mix and match and stay up there with the top lot.. The only team I worry for is Wigan.. Uncertainty over half their squad, whose going to be their new manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Bolton look to have a good manager and I think they'll have a good season. Surely Leicester will go up one year won't they? Won't they? Have they chucked any money about yet or are the owners getting bored of paying out big bucks to sit in the luxury directors box at Barnsley?

Ambitious Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think the 3 coming up will be in for a shock, all 3 have decent players but yeovil and doncaster have little room for improvement. Bournemouth have slammed their ambitions for spending shut, so we will have to see how that one pans out. Wigan, Reading and QPR is pure guess work - Wigan players will be quizzical about their futures, and their aims but with the parachute payments will obviously be okay as will Reading who have already signed Bridge (good signing) and will probably look to add a couple more, think their chances are the best and QPR will obviously be rotten to the absolute core - Harry will be gone sooner or later (will be surprised if he makes the first game in all honesty) and it just looks like a mess! I think the 3 coming up at the very best will ponder around mid-table and the 3 coming down will at very worst ponder mid-table. There is a lot of work for the 3 clubs coming down, and promotion is as open as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 QPR will be following the Wolves route Wigan and Reading up. Yeovil do the double over ForEst, and knock them out of the FA Cup, and survive on the last day by putting QPR down. (no pressure yeovil)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
