[Nardendee]

Above Wednesday though

Aardvark ?

Isn't that next to Thrybergh?

Team plummeting through the divisions - Villa?
Teams with likely off-field problems - Leeds, Blackburn, Cardiff?
Ran relegation close twice, ,their luck may not last out this time - Fulham, Huddersfield?
Might find it tough at this level - Burton, Barnsley?
Finished on a downward trajectory - Brentford?

I know we may qualify for a couple of those categories, but nearly half of the teams in the Championship have likely difficulties ahead

You might add Reading to that list, even with a new manager.

Can't disagree with those except the last one. If 22 out of the last 30pts is downward then we need some of that trajectory as we only got 14pts

I'd say there are probably 6-8 teams that will realistically compete for promotion and the rest are nothing to fear so mid table (55-60pts) is not out of our reach.

CAM - I take the point, it was really more of a mid-season slump for Brentford after a good start

[millertop]

I can't wait for the season to start.
Very competitive league, anything can and will happen

Think forest had a worst 2ND half to the season than most. When warlock joined us in Feb they had accumulated 42 points. They finished on 55
