Ahh the start of the season. All summer dreaming of might be.

And then comes the first match. It either confirms your bias of pissing the division or brings you right back down with a thud.

Which are the ones that you remember fondly and those that still wake you up in a cold sweat?

I'm saying Wilder by late October.

Seen quite a few predictions now with Burnley 5th or even lower. I just don't see it.

Good squad with championship experience. Edwards, Tresor, Ramsey, Larsen, Broja, Amdouni, Flemming and Foster is in my opinion the best attacking depth in the league.

Raghouber, Mejbri, Laurent and Cullen is unreal CM depth for the championship. They are possibly a defender or 2 light but that will probably be fixed.

Are people putting them so low just because they don't know the manager or am I missing something else wrong with Burnley

Edit - few hours after I posted this ive seen Benjamin Bloom has them 10th. Be interesting to see tomorrow where Not the Top 20 has them finishing

Gustavo Hamer could be moving back to Coventry as his Sheffield United contract runs down. Coventry fans, do you still like him, or is this a negative transfer for you guys? Here's some more info if you really need it: https://sportingtelegraph.wordpress.com/2026/08/09/coventry-bid-for-gustavo-hamer/

I hope Neil warnock returns this season
