The Championship campaign kicked off in style last week.


There were some shock results and impressive debuts as one of the most exciting leagues in the world resumed.


In the build-up to the new EFL season we asked supporters to tell us how they think it would pan out.


We asked which team fans thought would over-achieve the most in 2021-22. And more than a third of respondents who took part believe that QPR will over-achieve this term.

They garnered more than a third of the votes. Mark Warburton's side were tipped as dark horses for promotion thanks to their fine form at the end of last season.


As well an encouraging end to 2020-21, Rangers also made some canny signings such as Charlie Austin and Stefan Johansen.

Rangers began the season with a 1-1 draw with London rivals Millwall.

Other teams that featured high on the list were the newly-promoted pair Blackpool and Coventry, along with Luton Town.


We also asked which team fans thought would under-achieve - and Wayne Rooney's Derby County came out on top, with Sheffield United not far behind.

The Championship continues this weekend with Swansea against the Blades and Nottingham Forest versus Bournemouth among the pick of the matches.

Newly-promoted Peterborough host Derby on Saturday lunchtime to kick-start the weekend's games.
