This could be one of the most open seasons ever.
- Stoke look strong, but how will all their new players and their new manager gel?
- How will West Brom and Swansea deal with relegation?
- Pulis will make Boro hard to beat but will they score enough goals?
- How will Leeds' notoriously capricious manager get on?
- How will Lampard transition to the life of a manager with the sheep?
- Will Villa keep hold of their big players?
- Will any of the 'near misses' from last season (Preston/Norwich/Brentford/Millwall) kick on?
And regarding us:
- How will a practically whole new team gel?
- How will the overseas players adapt to the Championship?
- Will our lack of pace at centre-half hurt us?
- Will we score enough goals?
So many questions to be answered. I really can't call where we'll end up. I just daren't. I fervently hope that at the start of the 2019/2020 season Aitor Karanka is still our manager. Because that'll mean we've either got promoted, or got close enough to convince Marinakis to give him another year.
