1. QPR
2. Reading

3. Watford
4. Forest
5. Bolton
6. Brighton

22. Doncaster
23. Yeovil
24. Blackpool

Reading not in any of these positions unless we buy two good strikers.

Seriously, what the oxf*rd.

An interesting perspective from Watford blog BhaPPY - one of the best around:

[RoyallyFcuked]

Top two - Reading and Watford

Play offs - Bolton, Forest, Wigan, Ipswich

I think Brighton, Blackburn and Leeds could also be up there. But I think Redknapp will walk out on QPR and they will finish mid table.

Relegation - Blackpool, Huddersfield and Doncaster. Yeovil to shock everyone and stay up

1 QPR
2 Forest
3 Leeds
4 Reading
5-6 Ipswich
5-6 Watford

11-13 Charlton
11-13 Blackpool
14-16 Derby

17-18 Barnsley
17-18 Wigan
19 Sheffield Wednesday
20 Yeovil
21 Birmingham
22 Middlesbrough
23 Millwall
24 Doncaster

Yesterday's results have no bearing on this, but I do feel it was important McDermott got off to a winning start.

I am going to be bloody furious if Saggy Harry lasts the season and gets QPR in the top 6. Let alone promotion.

It`s been reported today they are looking to sign Jermaine Defoe . Holt to Wigan Defoe to QPR.

[M Brook]

Holt to Wigan

Can't see that happening.

[creative_username_1]

err...what happened to Bolton

[URZZZZZ]

They died and got reincarnated as a fish. Simples don't even sound same

Predictions not going too well so far . . . . . .

Top of the league no chance but bottom three prediction OK.

Sheffield wednesday
Barnsley
Yeovil

[Libertine]

Bump...just to see how many of our pre-season predictions (mine included) were cringeworthy after the fact. Carry on...

[Ian Royal]

Challenging for the Title.
Reading, Bolton, Wigan

Challenging for the Play Offs.
Ipswich, Leicester, Forest, Bournemouth, Wigan, Leeds

In danger of Relegation.
Barnsley, Yeovil, Millwall, Blackburn

Notable absences:
Watford - I think it's going to be hard to sustain a similar season as last time off the back of a loan system. But I wouldn't expect them to be far off.
Brighton - Two good seasons after promotion, so I think they'll flag a little bit and be mid-table, especially with the change of manager. I think they'll be back up there in a season or three though.
QPR - Difficult to predict because they're such a basket case. They have the players to win the league, but then they had the players to finish mid-table last season and were atrocious. Plus I don't see Harry hanging around for the full season, and his summer hasn't impressed me, so I think a season of disappointment and disruption is coming for them.

LOLZ @ Me. Not a complete shambles though - called one of the Play Off contenders right (and two to narrowly miss out), got 2 relegated right and the third was a struggler.

[akranes]

Unless ownership is sorted out I'm sure a top 10 finish would be fair.

Green did better than my guess

[Royal Lady]

The only person who was spot on was Seb saying Reading wouldn't get in the play offs!
