As a matter of interest, twelve months ago where did all these predictor things have Wolves and Cardiff?

From memory, Wolves were about 6th favourites and Cardiff about 10-12th.

Boro and Villa were 1st and 2nd.

Why are Forest so fancied?

I think they have made some quality signings but generally speaking I have been confused as to why Forest and Leeds have suddenly become so hotly tipped for success. Time will tell.

Leeds are actually signing some good players regardless of Bielsa. Bamford and Barry Douglas in this week for 10m combined which is great business.

I'd say Forest having Karanka as manager means they'll be up there. Guy plays grinding Bruce style football but he turned Boro around and had them consistant top 6 contenders.

Bamford is shite.

Bamford is shite.

He lost his confidence for a bit but he's a very good striker at this level. Won POTY at Boro and he also scored scored 12 in 10 at Boro after xmas before Pulis inexplicably dropped him for the games v us.

Not scoring for 18 months to 2 years is a loss of confidence?

[mr underhill]

I thought it was less than 12 in ten? He only ever seems to score in short spells, followed by droughts of biblical proportions.

Bamford is streaky, he'll score a bunch close together and then struggle for a few months (or longer) I wouldn't have wanted us to sign him.

Is that somewhat due to being in and out of sides over the last couple of years (or even since his first spell at Boro).

[aj2k77]

No, Ads is right, it's due to him being a bit shit.

Adama won the POTY, Bamford didn't score 12 in 10.

Nah, he was dropped because if he isn't scoring he's a complete waste of a shirt, and he doesn't score consistently enough to justify the risk.

There's another preview of the Championship on there, a Bluenose pops up amongst the comments. No guesses who he talks about.

Bamford is hit and miss and never seems to settle anywhere I feel he llbbe of David nuguent levels of dritfing round leagues.

You're right to extent though the sold Vieria who will be some player . I like signing especially Douglas are decent though he's a poor defender in Leeds wing back system he ll thrive.

Karanka is way more advanced than Bruce though there is a similar style of being organized and steady before the spectacular. Schooled with mourinho but forest and leeds remain to be seen.

Norwich despite losing Madison and Murphy could show something

Still pains me that defeat and more the performance! Against them at carnary road and are yellow bellies performance .
