Apart from 3 coming down, I think only Bournemouth likely to challenge for top 3.
Teams like Blackpool may very well have an early season bounce(wish we werent playing them early doors) but I cant see them sustaining it.

Of the other clubs in the Championship last year, I was impressed with Coventry. Nice football, lacking cutting edge. Last season was Barnsley's high water mark. Cant see them replicating that.Blackburn are always solid performers. On the other hand I can see Derby and Swansea struggling.

City will be ok. Solid mid table 10th. Hopefully 1 or 2 youngsters will cement their place in the side.
