3 Questions for all. Not just Baz and Opti but chip in chaps.
Anybody out there does not think our squad is good enough for promotion?
Are there three better and more skilful squads and teams in this league?
Who?

Aus, I personally believe that we have the strongest squad in the Championship.
Other teams, Middlesbrough/ Sunderland/ WBA
I'll put my helmet on for Baz's comments ??.

Good question Aus
On paper Burnley worth more on paper than our squad. (But they may have been
Pre transfer window)
For me we have far and away the strongest squad
We pay the most in wages
And only Hamer (ouch) and Anthony Patterson would be a pick from other teams.
Based on squads (coaches) Burnley, Sunderland and Baggies for me are capable of beating us to promotion, but then I’ve already predicted us as champions so that’s as good as confirmed. ? ?.

Burnley, Sunderland and blackburn seem like quality teams this year. Sunderland will finish top 2 without a doubt.
Our squad is more than good enough for promotion and should be putting games to bed early.

I do have major question marks over Farke's ability to get the best out of the squad of players he has at his disposal which even without the marquee signing of Hamer we all craved should be top 2 and not as I fwad will be another Farke play off failure.
The only way I see Leeds getting promoted is if Farke is replaced ideally just before the next international break with a more pro active coach who is a lot more astute with his substitutions and far more flexible in alternative
game plan strategy when plan A is clearly not working.
The WBA boss ticks those boxes as do Russel Martin and Graham Potter but I'm not confident we'd be able to get them unless Martin is sacked so Farke may survive by default.

Quality teams you say MoT, I know someone who would vehemently disagree with that notion.

Place all of OPs piggy bank jar on a pretty much sure thing bet that whichever 3 Champo teams go up this season
to all come straight back down at end of next season.

Love to know then Baz, do you estimate that all three teams in Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton due to their superior quality in the Championship will survive in the Premiership?
My bet is that both Southampton and Ipswich will not survive the drop due to their lack of quality in their respective squads and their inexperienced top flight managers.

Yep OP already predicted several weeks agon ago all three will be in a R
battle with Everton, Brentford, Forest, Palace.
Forest have started well and recruited well too. so I"ll swap them for Wolves to be in R mix.
Whichever 3 teams come down will be strong faves to go straight back up and very likely will.

Daniel Farke s football reminds me of a very recent former England manager.
Maybe we should replace him with Lee Carsley.
