HOW WILL THE CHAMPIONSHIP 2023/24 END

The bookies seem to think we will struggle - Ladbrokes have us joint 4th from bottom
I think our side has potential, but will need the youngsters to "train-on"

 

Time will tell but given the likely strength of many other teams in this league if we can win a few games early on then who knows
One thing for sure is that the Championship always throws up unexpected results and I can’t see this season being any different

 

AS THE TRANSFER SEASON PROGRESSES..................
we see our signings, and are grateful? but would wish for more or better quality/ experience?
When you look at the other teams and see their attempts at consolidating / revamping who they are buying getting rid of and make own "personal list" of who you think are 1 to 24th you try to ignore the bias of being BCFC and find that CITY are about 16th/17th!
When I run my amateur logarithm city indeed comes out well out of top 6 [ previous seasons has done quite well ! programme that is ] SO a lot of work to do and some luck .. maybe a few penalties given ... and a few less goals conceeded in last 10 minutes of play time! [ 90 + etc ]

 

I think the very best we will do is 64 points.

 

But that was L1, so not comparable to where we are now, but good times nonetheless!!

You miss the point. Wiz isn't comparing Leagues he's saying how he feels personally.
I feel exactly the same.
Those unbelievable Cott days playing, winning with a great brand of football albeit with no East End.

 

I hope every season is, and wish all our managers had/ have success. I don’t disagree with the feeling of that season, I also felt that way about our run to the semi- final of the League Cup, and play-off push a couple of seasons later, even though we came up short in both.

 

The bookies NEVER favour us. We’ve been favourites for the drop ever since arriving in this league.
I remember when we kept grinding out the 1-0 wins under GJ when predicted to lose every game, the Sun newspaper stopped predicting on Championship results.
Bookies and pundits hate us - or at least don’t rate us - and are confounded when we win games.

 

I love how you include LJ in ‘failure and debacle’ Wiz.
If you really are old enough to have witnessed those other failures and debacles then to call 5 years of Championship football without (apart from the very first season) any threat of relegation a ‘debacle’ is rather weird…..

 

Lovers/haters can argue till the cows come home.
There's never been player or manager who fractured the support of City fans like LJ.

And it still goes on.

top 7 all have different points
a lot of teams have same points so not finishing order
bottom 3 have different points

 

I feel positive about this season - more so than any time in the last 3 years. I feel (for now) we will be right up there fighting in or around the top 6.

 

Dark horses let’s stay under the radar-if Scott goes then the No9 and midfielder to replace Scott and a goalkeeper then it is game on.

 

I see we're moving up the table JGF. Cheers pal.

 

according to the tgeam sheet we already have a number 9 !
I think we have already replaced Scott... under the guise of " not to replace him but play alongside him" comment a a week or so ago

 

dont thank me I just feed in info and a few hours later get a sort of result .. last 2 seasons ithas beat the super computer ....lol [ who cheat, ha ha ha by amending every cuple of weeks! ]
