Season-long Prediction Game - League Ladders

To get us in the mood for the Chamionship (I'm struggling...)
Here's a simple, season long prediction game invented by a friend of mine - you just place all teams in order of how you think they will finish. I've done it for the Prem for the past few seasons, and can tell you it's a lot harder than you might think to actually get many right! If it comes down to a tie, we can use predicting the play-off results as the tie-breaker.

(AFKA - if this catches people's imagination, I don't mind keeping the entries in a spreadsheet and reporting on progress every now and then, unless you have another suggestion for keeping it accessible.)

THE LEAGUE LADDERS FORMAT IS copyright BOB COLLIE AND NICK ROBERTS, 1996-2007, email nick232@ukonline.co.uk

Here are the teams:

Barnsley
Blackpool
Bristol City
Burnley
Cardiff
Charlton
Colchester
Coventry
Crystal Palace
Hull
Ipswich
Leicester
Norwich
Plymouth
Preston
QPR
Scunthorpe
Sheff Utd
Sheff Wed
Southampton
Stoke
Watford
West Brom
Wolverhampton

And here's my (wild) guess:

Watford
Wolves
Preston
Charlton
West Brom
Stoke
Southampton
Sheffield Utd
Norwich
Leicester
Coventry
Cardiff
Bristol City
Sheffield Weds
Crystal Palace
Hull
Barnsley
Ipswich
Burnley
Blackpool
Colchester
Scunthorpe
Plymouth
QPR

    Nooo, not us 4th! That would be my idea of a nightmare! I'd either have to put us top 3 or about 14th, I couldn't bear the pain of going through the playoffs and just missing out on going up!! (OK, maybe I need to stop taking predictions so seriously)

    I hope we would finish above Wolves!

    I'd rather go there for the Diana concert or something than watching us lose the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're going to win the league anyway...definitely maybe...

    Bit early to say. Based on our current squad I wouldnt even have us in the play offs.

    Depends on how much we get for Young and Diawara.

    Deffo need to spend big up front and central midfield.

    Colchester will be bottom though, FACT.

    Wolves will be in the top 2, that why we need to nick the gypsy off them.

    You need to do the whole table to enter - that's the game - not just who goes up...(like your optimism though - wish I shared it!)

    I could have been a stand up comedian you know? Problem was I was too lazy. I became a sit down comedian instead.

    no, because he's doing that again and you're all going to enter it again! this will be its 4th consecutive year, although it will probably remain for the premiership.
    its the 2 LL's competition and money goes to the st christophers hospice :-)

    Worth taking a look at Mr Cunningstunt's guess for Charlton, by the way...
    Anyone else going to have a try?

    I'm gonna hold my cards close to my chest and put together a guess closer to the start of the season.

    Some people take these things so seriously! I've tried that in the past too - think I came bottom that year...
    Thanks for making it a Sticky.

    no, its called the 2 L's competition because of my surname.
    dad and his mate made it up at work a few years ago and to spell our name, people always ask if its 1 L. to which we reply "2 L's one cock"......
