It has been suggested for weeks that, Leicester City manager Sven Goran Eriksson is keen on bringing a new striker to the King Power Stadium, and reports in the media are speculating that the Swede could well be closing in on his top targets. After missing out on Shane Long and with a possible move for Nicky Maynard buried under the hatchet, Leicester City have now been linked with many other possible moves which could well transpire in the next couple of weeks.
So far this summer Sven Goran Eriksson has strengthened his …
I have now completed my 2011/2012 Npower Championship previews, and what better way to finish than previewing one of the most well known clubs in England, West Ham United. Troubled times have been brewing around Upton Park recently, as unrest in the back room, unfortunate results and worst of all the raft of relegation all spewed out of control in one season. Sam Allardyce though has been appointed Hammers boss for the 2011/2012 campaign, can he salvage West Ham’s fortunes and secure promotion at the first attempt…

I have almost finished my batch of Npower Championship previews, in this feature it’s Watford who I will be concentrating on this time around. It will be a whole new feel at Vicarage Road this season, as star players such as Danny Graham, Will Buckley and Don Cowie have headed for pastures new, while even manager Malky Mackay jumped ship to Cardiff City. Sean Dyche has been left in charge of the golden boys at this moment in time, can the new manager of Watford produce the stability which Malky …
Welcome to yet another Npower Championship preview right here on footballblog.co.uk, this time around I set my focus on Reading. Reading managed to secure a play-off place last season, and by winning one of two play-off semi finals they went onto meet Swansea City at Wembley. The match was full of high drama; however Brian McDermott’s side just fell short on promotion despite an emphatic performance. After last season’s heroics can Reading mount another promotion challenge in 2011/2012…

I now only have three Npower Championship previews remaining including this one, until I eventually finish my long task of completing all my thoughts on every one of Leicester City’s 11/12 opponents. In this particular preview I now turn my attentions to a newly promoted side, south coast side Southampton managed to bounce back into the second tier of English football after securing promotion last season, now one of this season’s early favourites can the Saints secure yet another promotion under the guidance of Nigel Adkins…

The new Npower Championship season is getting ever so near, so here is my latest preview of Leicester City’s 2011/2012 opponents. This time around I give my thoughts on newly promoted Peterborough, with the London Road faithful often supplied by goal fests last season what can we expect from the Posh in this campaign. Will they struggle to find the net on a consistent basis, or will the team who scored goals for fun in 10/11 bring a certain entertainment factor to the Npower Championship this time around…

Welcome to my 19th Npower Championship preview for the upcoming season, in this feature I turn my attentions to Portsmouth. Pompey are a club that I have a lot of respect for, after off field troubles affected them for the past couple of season’s; however it now seems that the depressing times of administration and possible liquidation is slowly defusing at Fratton Park, can Cotterill and his boys put up a promotion challenge this season, or will they settle for another mid-table finish…

Welcome to yet another Npower Championship preview of Leicester City’s opponents 2011/2012; in this particular feature I turn my attentions to East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest. With a fresh face at the helm in Steve McClaren, will the former England manager be able to guide the Tricky Trees to promotion, something that Billy Davies almost mustered on a number of occasions…
Nottingham Forest Preview
Leicester City’s neighbours Nottingham Forest will be under new management this season, former manager Billy Davies achieved two promotion finishes while at the City Ground; however after failing …
It’s time for me to write yet another preview of Leicester City’s 2011/2012 opponents, in this feature I focus on London based side Millwall. Millwall had a season to remember in 10/11 as the fans watched their club battle to a commendable 9th place finish, as the side that play their games at the New Den were under estimated at the start of the campaign. This is a brand new season however, can Kenny Jackett’s side show the form which warranted them with a top half finish, or will last season’s …
This is now my fifteenth Npower Championship preview right here on footballblog.co.uk, this time around I will give my thoughts on Middlesbrough. The team from Teesside were the early favourites for the title last season; however as the 10/11 table proves pressure got the best of Middlesbrough as they had a dismal Championship campaign. With Tony Mowbray in charge and a whole season to build a squad capable of promotion, it’s about time Middlesbrough started challenging for a top six finish…
