Time will tell.
It's a long, tough season, with injuries & suspensions playing a role. This is a very competitive league, with several teams having huge budgets (Fulham paying wages of up to £100k a week!) & PL standard players.
I said this at the start of the season: For our first season in the Championship, I'll be happy to stay up and then push on.
I don't care about the bookies odds, or where the Nobbers are predicted to finish - that's pure guesswork.
