It might be early on in the season but there's already plenty of predictions flying about concerning where clubs may end up this year based on their starts to the campaign.

Of course, it's only natural to start wondering if your side is going to meet those high summer expectations or whether it could actually be a year full of underwhelming performances and disappointment.

For sure, fans are now getting a potential taste of what could be to come this year in the Championship and whilst the likes of Cardiff and Leeds will be happy, those supporters of Brentford and Bolton might not be so chirpy.

Fans of Birmingham City, meanwhile, will still be hoping for a season of challenging for the play-offs under Harry Redknapp despite a pretty unspectacular start to the year that has left them 20th in the table.

Certainly, then, Blues fans will be looking for things to pick up as the new signings the club made begin to really bed in but they might just want to be planning for the worst - according to talkSPORT at least.

Indeed, their 'super computer' has recently updated its prediction for the season and it now has the Blues set to finish in the relegation spots.

Blues fans, then, will be hoping the broadcaster's machine is on the blink.

The Verdict

Things like this always get attention and it's certainly not going to be something the Blues will want to think about too much heading into the next set of fixtures this weekend.

Indeed, it's still early days in the campaign and the team needs to gel with all the new faces but, with this prediction in mind, it had better happen quickly.
