Kernow Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We aren't anywhere near the play offs yet because we still can't defend. If you statistically have the 14th best defence in the League like we did last season then your overall league position won't be too high.Why do you keep saying this?? You've already been proven wrong about the 14th best defence, You pulled that stat right out your ******** and as of yet have told nobody how you've actually managed to come to that conclusion.

plymouthram Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Why does everyone including bookies fancy Boro to do well? They have no Vossen or Bamford, who is going to score their goals. Unless they bring in some more talented strikers on loan, I personally don't see them as a threat. I don't see any threat coming from the 3 relegated teams either, due to losing key players. Wolves or Blackburn could be the dark horses this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Rotherham will finish mid table now they have Roos & Rawson! Should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly groundbreaking stuff.They've got the best player in the division, which lets face it, Downing is, and they have Stuani who at this level SHOULD score a few goals. Plus they have 3 more weeks.

Boro's strength was not leaking goals, but without decent goalscorers they wont be winning many matches. I sorry to see you rate Downing as the best player in the Division, I would prefer Tom Ince who in my Opinion will out score and assist in more goals than Downing.

Scott129 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If we can get another starting CB in, I see no reason why we can't finish top.Boro and Burnley are both lacking goalscorers (but do have considerably better defenses) and QPR are, like always, boom or bust.Ipswich, Wolves and Hull should be up there too. 1.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Got to put us top even though if i'm honest top 6 more likely. I expect Boro to be up there along with Hull, Burnley, Bristol City. Rotherham likely to be propping up the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlySaul Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I had Hull tipped to storm this league, but with the amount of players they have lost I don't think they will. Figueroa, Quinn, McShane, Rosenior and Ince are all good Championship players and they all left and Hull will probably lose more. Burnley have also lost quite a few strong players for them, Ings and Trippier, but I rate Dyche and he knows how to get results in this league. Boro will do well. They have the best defence in the league and are already bolstering there attack with arguably the best player in the division in Stewart Downing and a decent striker with Stuani. I think we are the most unpredictable side this season. On paper we have one of the best teams, but we do have an unproven manager and we could just continue with the form we had at the end of last season. 1.) Boro 2.) Derby 3.) Burnley4.) Ipswich5.) Brentford 6.) Bristol .................................22.) Bolton 23.) Rotherham 24.) MK Dons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Really hard to predict, as the championship always shows us there are surprises...I know i never expected Brentford or Bournemouth to be anywhere near as good as they were last season.Derby are a big unknown, but if PC is anywhere near as good as we are told then I do expect us to get promoted. But then i thought that last season after we beat Ipswich.1. Derby2. Hull3. Burnley4. Ipswich5. Bristol City6. Wolves22 . Rotherham23. Forest24. MK DonsIm not predicting forest bottom 3 just because its forest, honestly think they are going down, expect another managerial change december time...

maydrakin Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Leeds ?????? Birmingham?????? Yet you put your team in there and leave us out of top 6. #deluded. Let's just have a think for a second. Last year you would have put the following: Bournemouth ?????? Brentford ?????? Yet you put your team in there and leave us out of top 6. #deluded. To shout someone down for having a different opinion to you is a bit disrespectful, especially when this division always throws up some very unpredictable outcomes. That's the beauty of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyram Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 All being well and major players staying injury free and the manager playing players in their correct position this squad of players WILL win the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hard to predict however Boro, Burney, Wolves, Brentford at least better than Derby. Until the defence is sorted possibly top 8. Martin not yet fit and a re-occurrence of his injury must be a possibility. Thorne may be the key in midfield but he his injury prone.Manager un-proven as a manager as well. Derby are the bookies favourite to win the league but how will they react to injures and any poor run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphanram Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Although they can be a bit dull Ipswich seem to have improved season on season under MM (might be wrong about that) and can see them grinding a way out.My predictions 1. Derby ( more of a blind support choice than having any clue)2. Ipswich (grind, grind, grind and that's just the sound of Mick McCarthy's face)3. Hull ( Will look to compete with Ipswich in the grinding stakes of results and Managers face)4. Burnley. (Will look to compete with Ipswich and Hull in the grinding stakes of results and Managers face)5. Brentford ( because my computer said 'YES')6. Rotherham United ( Will look to compete with Ipswich,Hull and Burnley in the grinding stakes of results and Managers face + they've got Roos and Rawson)The championship is going to go back to a more industrial type of football this year full of full hoofs and ugly fat men.Paul Clement and his beautiful Rams will rise above the studs, scars and muffin top managers and take a place in the land of the beautiful people.
