Town boss Roy Keane says he expects current top two QPR and Cardiff to fill the automatic promotion places in what he otherwise expects to be the tightest Championship in years. The Blues boss sees his own side as one of a number chasing the play-off places.
Keane said: "I think the two teams that have the best chance of promotion will be QPR and Cardiff and then there’ll be a battle between all the others.
"And I’m including the likes of Portsmouth, the teams that are capable of going on a run of games, in that.
"Middlesbrough too, if they get the right new manager, you just don’t know what’s going to happen. Forest, Swansea have had a great start to the season, we saw Watford the other night, Norwich.
"We just hope we’re in the mix. I think it will be a lot tighter between the next few teams, but I would still fancy Cardiff and QPR in terms of the automatic promotion places and then there’s a battle for the next four.”
Keane believes gamblers need to be careful with their money: "If you’re a betting man, never touch the Championship on your coupon; you just never know what you’re going to get.”
