Grewks Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Anyone know what it is? I think Yeovil might set the record next season, i know newly promoted sides have momentum, but they usually also have quality, yeovil have no championship players whatsoever and would oddly love to play them at home on the first day of the new season.
Dan Posted 17 June 2013 Posted 17 June 2013 I fancy them to start well and be in the play-offs in around September time, but completely tail off and go down, but not in 24th.

Rotherham: 26. And I wouldn't. Would give the squad a sense of false hope.
SystonFox Posted 17 June 2013 Posted 17 June 2013 Yeovils whole squad are champ players. They got promoted to the champ therefore they are champ. As are Wigan and lcfcs squads. Norwich have a squad full of premier league players
Guest Bilo Posted 17 June 2013 Posted 17 June 2013 They'll do better than people expect them to, even if they are a very small club for this level of football. They play good football, Paddy Madden is a quality player if they can keep him and have a manager who knows what he's doing at this level. They'll be nowhere near the play-offs of course but I don't expect them to be 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table all season.
Fox92 Posted 17 June 2013 Posted 17 June 2013 When Gary Johnson got Bristol City into the Championship, I don't think they had many 'Championship' players. They made the play offs, and lost in the final to Hull... It's much more than just having the quality of players though isn't it? Look at Wolves, for example, they have some players that could be considered good enough for the top flight and what happened? They've been relegated. On the other hand, look at Blackpool. They had no quality/star players (apart from Charlie Adam), yet they were promoted to the Premier League. It's all about playing as a team, and sometimes the momentum of promotion can guide clubs forward regardless. When Norwich got promoted, I was impressed with them when they came here, because Lambert had them playing as a team; they worked hard for each other. I wouldn't expect Yeovil to reach the dizzy heights of the top ten, but they might not do as bad as what people think either. Then again, I'm only guessing. If I was too make a prediction now, they would be in my bottom three without doubt. But this is the Championship. The thing I don't get is people expecting Bournemouth to do well. I like Howe, but he's already had a crack at this league at Burnley and didn't really do much. I remember when Peterborough bossed League Two, finished second behind us in League One and some people thought they'd do it again in the Championship (Kamara had them down for third). They were relegated. But that's how the Championship works. It might not have better quality than the Premier League, but it's much much more competitive.
