TWTD season previews 15:57 - Jul 27 with 4289 viewsrsonist

I'm a big fan of the Championship previews put together by the excellent HarryFromBath over at the Ipswich site TWTD. His method is simple but effective - instead of blagging what he doesn't know (like a paid journalist in 2017 would), he visits club messageboards and produces clipped concise compilations of quotes that read like behind-the-lines intelligence dossiers. It must be a ton of work and I don't know how he hasn't lost his mind yet but I'm very grateful nevertheless.

He's done eight so far, have a look.

Here's us. We're the most pessimistic fanbase by a million miles ...

Nice of Harry to quote me at the start. Makes harrowing reading, but most is hard to argue with...

Ipswich can't be too confident - on Saturday they were beaten 6-1 by Charlton

What an embarrassing reflection of our boards.
Seems reasonably accurate though.

I don't expect to be up there winning the league, nor do I expect us to be relegated. Based on what I saw on Saturday, my prediction is about 15 or 16, possibly higher if the midfield perform as I expect and we can get it right up front. Ideally we need that right back though.

Yeah they're debating in the comments whether we'd like to swap Ollie for Mick. Little do they know that a majority would probably love that...

Ipswich's signings didn't seem too bad to me but that 6-1 is obviously an absolute shocker.

Bees seem pretty cagey considering the likes of Ryan Woods, Barbet, Colin, Sawyers might not be first choice this season.

Fulham panicking however.

I've got Ipswich as one of those that should be below us. They've been on the drift for a while and McCarthy's past his sell by date there.

I'm also expecting Ipswich to be in the middle of a relegation battle. Plus they will play the worst football in the Championship!

No chance of me having a good footballing Christmas though when we lose in the town i live in!

Since they did get their biggest win of the season at home to us I'd probably change that 'should' to 'could'...

We beat them after that though, and they're crap. If you finish below them this season you're down I reckon.

RE: Ipswich can't be too confident - on Saturday they were beaten 6-1 by Charlton

Trust me, We're not ... As for the 6-1 loss, we're trying to remain optimistic, a big chunk of our midfield has missed large parts of preseason due to sickness.

Wish you lot the best this year, hope we both end up in the right part of the league.
