Top Scorers - Stoke City

The two that gave me greatest trouble in not knowing where to place them for some odd reason was Reading and Ipswich.

Another non-descript season of Championship mediocrity for Leeds with a mid-table finish (but hoping to be wrong, at least looking upwards).

Clearly, whilst putting forward prediction now reserving the right to edit before the deadline should Messi, in the next few days, decide he's had enough of life and winning everything at Barcelona and his compatriot MB can sell him the challenge of a season at Elland Road !!
