English Championship Promotion?

[Maddogmike]

With the top 10 at the end of February being as follows - Who do you think will get promoted for next season into the premiership?

Derby playing out of their skins and Sunderland under new management have steadily risen from the bottom 3 early in the season. My prediction for promotion would be West Brom, Birmingham and Sunderland

Leeds would have to be spewing after almost getting promoted for this season, they find themselves battling relegation!!

1. Derby County
2. West Bromich Albion
3.Birmingham City
4. Preston
5. Sunderland
6. Southampton
7. Cardiff City
8. Wolverhampton
9. Stoke City
10. Colchester United

It's been a hard year to predict this one, Cardiff bolted out of the blocks and looked unbeatable at one stage, but as so often happens in the lower leagues, teams can fall off the pace if they don't have good depth in their squads, a lot of games to be played, especially if they have a half decent cup run. The top three as it stands now will stay pretty much as it is I reckon, although Roy Keane's Sunderland have been on a great roll, as for poor old Leeds, they are still trying to recover from the post Rithsdale / O'Leary spending spree that saw them make the semi finals of the champions league, but come up empty handed domestically, without a huge financial backer who wants to take on the debts at Leeds they could be stuck in the lower leagues for a while.

all i care about is BIRMINGHAM going straight back up where they belong.

good to see Derby lose to STOKE who have been going ok lately with wins against the top 2.

Hway the boys! Go the Black Cats.

[mypaddock]

have watched preston a couple of times this yr and when they play well they look like they cud match it with the majority of premiership sides

[The Real Number 3]

Look out for Birmingham, the young ones like Bendtner and Larsson by the end of the campaign will have the experience they didnt have at the start of year....

[RoosterMarty]

Birmingham should get promoted.. i like West Brom's chances as well as Derby they are going alright apart from that hiccup against Stoke.
It would be a dream to see Cardiff play Premiership football next season though.

Eh Spewcastle?

[Dogwatcher]

it's looking bloody tight right now.
We're on a roll and our next game's against WBA - it'll be the third match in a row we've played against a top side side. A draw against the Brummys and then a win against Derby gives us plenty of confidence thoough.

The wheels have temporarily fallen off for the Rams, with losses to Stoke and Sunderland as well as being knocked out of the Cup by Plymouth. We need to beat Colchester this week and then there's a crunch game against Birmingham the week after.

[Stumps]

Good call MR6- wolves going great guns with 13 pts out of a possible 15 since FA cup loss. Very tight at the top- cant believe Hull beat birmingham!!
Cmon you wolves

[RoosterMarty]

Cardiff won 4-1 over Preston, a promotion-chasing rival. Back in form now and Chopra is scoring for fun again.

Off the topic - Drogba paying $1.65 to be leading scorer in the EPL this year. Money for jam!

when BIRMINGHAM went up into the premier league about 5 years ago, they had an amazing stat, that Villa had never beaten them at premier league level...........unfortunately that disappeared when Villa won a game after they had bought Robbie Savage from Birmingham!!!!!!! he has ability but he's more of a nutter
