Championship Relegation: 2026-27 Ante-Post Tips
Starting at the bottom, I've got Lincoln City, who I have real fear for this season. Last season, they were superb and that cannot be denied.
However, they have lost Michael Skubala and that instantly sets them up for problems, I feel. Replacing him with joint head coaches, as well, feels like a difficult product to sell, really.
Recruitment-wise, there has been little done so far. The Imps have never been the biggest spenders and they could get eaten alive in the Championship financially.
It's no surprise they're the favourites to go down.
Then, I have Charlton Athletic. The Addicks really struggled in the second half of last season and I can only see that extending into this season.
Indeed, only six wins in 2026 say a lot about the quality of their squad and signings so far have not inspired me to think that they will be avoiding a relegation battle.
Again, it isn't really a surprise that they are sitting in the position of second favourites to go down this season.
Finally, I think we'll see two of the promoted sides going down, and I think Bolton Wanderers will be heading back to League One in May.
After a fantastic season, there could be a platform to take off from. However, you can argue that their squad has gotten worse so far this window.
Having lost Amario Cozier-Duberry, Mason Burstow and Johnny Kenny, there is a substantial drop in their output from last season. Indeed, that trio got 45 contributions between them last season, which was more than 60% of last season's goals.
There are suggestions that Kenny could return, but he was the least important of the three last season. So, I don't think his impact would be enough.
Steven Schumacher is a great coach, but I think you'd be pinning too much hope on him right now...
