Surely Blackburn will avoid relegation: they’ve got Ross Stewart to bang-in the goals every game of the Championship season.

The bookies have boro 4th favourites for promotion.

Presumably they know how many shots at it they will be allowed.

 

Sheff Utd look surprisingly high in the lists, but I guess they will be solid at worst. 

[Challenger]

Down as sixth favourite for promotion which is about right.

Agree , certainly other teams in the league with higher budgets / expectations. 

A good start is so important , we didnt win any of the equivalent games against the first 7 fixtures so need to be realistic. 

West Ham will win the league, i reckon Norwich surprise (ish) in 2nd. 

Play offs a bit of a mess now going down to 8th. 

Always a surprise package who does well and a team you dont expect will be in bottom 3.
