Our Championship predictions are here! Thoughts on where we've got Birmingham to finish? 👀

Play offs or just below for me. Probs go to the final few games and miss out - seems pretty atypical of BCFC
shamanth.jayaram2mo ago
No chance they make the playoffs, even though that should be the aim. I’ll stick my neck out and say they finish 15th
tyler.rowlinson2mo ago
I think Chris Davies costs Birmingham playoffs this season. I don’t see him lasting the full season. Blues have a great squad, but with him as boss, they won’t get very far. Round about 10th or 11th I reckon
tom.procter2mo ago
The competition is too strong for a play-off push and I actually don’t see them cracking the top half
jonny2mo ago
I don’t see why Birmingham can’t challenge for automatic promotion. Spent enough to do so and Wolves might be in serious problem anyway!
dale.odonnell2mo ago
It’s going to take them to time adjust. It won’t be plain sailing for Birmingham City.
jackgallagher2mo ago
They should challenge for playoffs but not sure they've done enough business in the window to actually do it!

Their ceiling is 7th, could be as bad as 12th. Can't shake off the feeling that they are being overrated due to the circus which surrounds them, people begging for another Wrexham. That was lightning in a bottle. Manager is a red flag for me
matthew.johns2mo ago
I would say top half, but outside the play-offs - not sure they are ready to challenge for promotion yet
dantowen819512mo ago
I don’t like to say it but I think they should’ve replaced Chris Davies - feels like there’s a limit to how far they can go under him I really like the signing of Luis Vazquez though, he was pretty good last season at a Getafe side who qualified for Europe I expect Carlos Vinicius to have a much bigger impact too with a pre season under his belt

Toughest championship season in years lies ahead, weve got the big PL sides and exciting projects like Coventry are only going to get better. Birmingham need to do more to be in with a shot
billy.meyers2mo ago
Way too high. Still think they need another season of adapting and some more signings until they can seriously challenge for promotion 👀
leeclarke05082mo ago
Birmingham will challenge for play offs but miss out for me. Don't see Preston going down either. Charlton could be in trouble. Norwich and Derby I'd fancy for play offs.
johnverrall112mo ago
Too high, I think they’ll be relatively static and finish in mid table
callum_boyle2mo ago
They’ll finish 11th and Davies is gone by October
jameslloyd14.jl2mo ago
I can see them sneaking playoffs with the new system but 6th seems high to me. Need to get more business done
jordan.harris2mo ago
Playoffs has surely got to be the target
seanfisher2mo ago
Yeah but I think they’ll fall just short
josh.barker2mo ago
Not a chance of 6th, squad is fine but haven’t done loads this summer and the league is even stronger this season
martin.crawford2mo ago
Their business has been much more low-key than last season, but their squad is still very strong on paper imo. A lot of expectation on Davies’ shoulders - don’t think he’ll be in a job if they don’t get playoffs at least. I can see them getting it
chillout2mo ago
Difficult one this. They are a big club and they have big plans, but this league is tough - especially as two of the relegated teams are expected to bounce right back up. They probably are dark horses, but I think top 6 might be a bit ambitious for them at this stage.
seanfisher2mo ago
Birmingham clearly have big ambitions, but there are too many big dogs in the league already chasing promotion… 8th for me
eoin2mo ago
Who's most likely to stay down from the PL? I would say all three will be in the playoffs anyway
charlesjones2mo ago
Way too high. They’re no better than last season in a stronger league
seanfisher2mo ago
I think they are better, but yeah it’s definitely a stronger league
markmarston2mo ago
They’ve had a year to adjust in the Champ… brought in a new striker as well. They underperformed last year
