Interesting one, I look at who I think will cause us most problems next season, so for me I want Forest to go up out of the way and Sunderland to stay down, just my view.
So much more interesting.
Vale, Sunderland and Huddersfield for me.
Vale, because they are sort of local.
Sunderland, I prefer them in amongst the NE Clubs. Seem a more genuine sort of supporters
Huddersfield, because I’m a Tyke…but really because the Forest lot annoy me.

Must say my money was on Forest
As others have said it also down to who we will be competing with next season. So i hope Shef U go up.
On that subject part of me wants Everton to drop but don’t fancy trying to compete with them next year
As in - we will represent zero threat Prando to the three that come down! Honestly think we will be bottom half next season based on the games under Bruce. Same poor poor players and hopes pinned on another injury croc ( Dike ) and any other freebies that may come in. I hope I am wrong.
The three that come down will go straight back up as all better than us and Sheffield U when we came down.
I think that it's difficult to predict who will be successful next season. Look at the season that's just finished. We were one of the hot favourites to go up and finished tenth. I don't think that many predicted that Luton, Huddersfield and even Forest would make the play offs. As for Watford and Norwich next season, I'm not so sure about them. Whoever comes down between Everton, Leeds and Burnley will be difficult opponents though.
Watford recently appointed Rob Edwards as their new boss. He's the bloke who led FGRs to promotion and is a very good young coach who favours attractive attacking football. Would have been a good appointment for us if we were genuinely interested in a total squad overhaul.
As for Burnley they have one hell of a summer ahead, especially if they drop. Lot of players coming to the end of their contracts and the new owners funded their takeover Man Utd style. A chunk of their parachute monies would have to be used in interest repayments.
I had the same thoughts as you 68.
If they do go down I will be looking to see what the odds are for an immediate relegation from the Championship into League 1. New owners with no idea on how to manage a football club after relegation but borrowing to finance it. No Manager and if they do go down they need someone experienced in negotiating players in on loans.
I seriously can see them struggling big time if they go done. Probably go and win the league at a Canter now but can’t see it myself.
