    Are they the weakest of the promoted sides? They are available at 7/2 (22%) for relegation. That looks long to me. By contrast, Rooney's Derby are odds on for the drop but I'm thinking he will conjure something up to help them survive.

    Blackpool finished very strongly, I think they'll do enough.

    Derby nailed on to go down,also feel Bristol will continue to struggle.

    Think Swansea might struggle too, only just appointed a new manager, no parachute payments.

    I imagine some fans of other clubs will be looking at us as vulnerable this season, having lost the captain and coach.

    Blackpool had a strong player on loan last season, was it from Everton? Think he's gone.

    No doubt the Football League will "help" them.

    Derby have one good player, and he's injured until December.

    Blackpool for me are stronger than Peterborough. I can also see Blackburn, Preston and Bristol City struggling in what is one of the weakest championships for a while.

    The young lad Simms? Was supposed to have been quite decent for them as you say! Wonder if we're being linked now? :p

    Blackpool have a bit of us in 2016 about them. They where nowhere at Christmas but just got better & better. I think they’ll stay up

    You can watch them play Man City tonight using a subscription to the city+ thing, if you bought it to watch against the reds…. Or just check the result after.

    There is a strong case to be made for all 3 of the new sides to stay up although history suggests at least one will drop again. I think Blackpool will do and think they will stay up but even with a lot of poor sides in this league they will still be down there in a battle.
