The Contenders

I truly believe that this season is going to be our great opportunity based on teams recently promoted.

This year the teams down from the Premiership are not happy ships

Wolves are completely rebuilding and have a new manager who will need at least a season to work out how the Championship works!

Blackburn despite their signings will not win enough home matches given the fans fury at manager and owners!

Bolton up to their eyes in debt and under the most pressure to perform. Coyle seems to have already lost the plot and playing long ball to Kevin Davies is not going to get them promotion

Ipswich spent heavily on dross again especially in defence! Yesterday's manager no chance.

Leicester too many overpaid players who are not hungry or good enough !

Cardiff going for broke but do not seem to have the fans on side. Unless they stay top two till Xmas then season likely to fall apart.

Middlesborough have a 20 goal striker in Miller but not the depth of squad to compete.

Charlton will not do a Norwich / Soton as they do not have funds to invest in their squad

Birmingham solid team but something not quite right about their manager and owners!

Leeds, don't make me laugh 7-3 and now we have an even better team! Bates has ensured Warnock will have to wait until January to buy some decent players assuming he sells up!

Sheff Wed managed by the Nearly Man Jones but his style of football and lack of squad depth will see them well short

Watford is Zola Vialli in disguise?

Hull, Steve Bruce is all you need to know

The rest are all also rans

Blackpool the main contenders proper club manager and fans. Shoe in for top two place.

Forest 2 20 goal strikers + Dex and goals from midfield whenever. Fortress Forest at home so no moaning fans please and 0-1 away= Promotion without a Wembley appearance or Billy Davies panic attacks in the semi final play offs!

COYR

KEEP CALM WE ARE GOING UP!

(except the m'boro bit!)

Blackburn will be in and around.

Cardiff, apart from their shirt change, after throwing money at it added some youth last season, and Maynard and Nooone, are good signings short and long term?

We if we Gel, and SOD can manage these Forest riches and options, could fly.

COYR Look forward to it, we've signed Billy Sharp
