So season almost here? Predictions right now.. Burnley and sheff utd for top 2. Leeds cov Luton mboro for play offs. For us I'd say 9th depending on any more outgoings/incomings.
Leeds Luton ————— Burnley Coventry Norwich QPR ————— Middlesbrough West Brom Sheffield United ————— ————— Blackburn Oxford Plymouth
1) Burnley 2) Luton 3) Leeds ( play off winners ) 4) Middlesburgh 5) Sheff Utd 6) Sheff Weds 22) West Brom 23) Blackburn 24) Plymouth
I've not been following the league in general much this summer so I'll only make a prediction for Norwich. Top 2 or 16th, can't see much in between.
1st: Leeds Utd 2nd: Coventry City _______________ 3rd: Norwich City 4th: Sunderland 5th: Middlesbrough 6th: Luton Town _______________ 22nd: Watford 23rd: Plymouth Argyle 24th: Portsmouth
I'm normally on the slightly pessimistic side but I think we win the league. Still got the best attack in the division, probably now got the best defence as well. The double pivot midfield I sometimes find too conservative but Ampadu and Gruev are both very good players.

Thank you. Sadly not, it’s been a very busy few weeks with work so won’t have a chance to write about League One.
Spot on with Luton, and 5th about right at present. Injuries a worry which will likely affect our start to the season. Need to keep hold of our prized assets and bring in some depth and creativity in midfield. Rob Edwards has stated that negotiations are in progress. Think Hull and WBA will be higher. All depends on what happens in the transfer market, which you can say about most clubs.
There will be many fans who share your concerns and worries about us. We seem to be skint and unable to buy anyone .
Leeds and Burnley top two, Coventry, Luton, Boro and Blades top six, Derby Portsmouth and Watford down off the top of my head. I’ll have a proper look through later on in the week.
Leeds won’t mess up this time and win it. Would love to say Boro go up with them but we need to add to the squad. More likely Coventry they have recruited well again
There’s quite a lot of poor quality teams at the bottom. Took me ages to work out which of the bottom four to choose for relegation.
One player I’d like Luton to go for is Ruben Colwill of Cardiff. Very physical for a creative midfielder so would tick both boxes. I’ve really liked him when I’ve seen him but has never become the undisputed first choice for whatever reason. Would be a very Luton signing; on paper not an obvious pick but potentially excellent if given regular minutes.
Losing Barkley was inevitable so we've been on the look out for another creative midfielder, not sure if Baptiste (from Brentford) is enough especially as his injury record isn't great. Don't no much about Colwill, although we have been sniffing around Mark McGuness, Cardiffs CB, but they immediately slapped a £10 million price tag, which we wont pay. Anyway looking forward to seeing how Ipswich get on this coming season. Show no respect and give it a go and make Portman Road a fortress. Good luck!
