As a division, I don't think it's particularly strong. There isn't a standout team like Leicester and there's no way you'll see three teams finish on 90-plus points like last year.
People always say that everybody can beat everybody in the Championship but it really does feel that way this season. Anybody who can put a little run together will be in with a shout, but I just think those two are a cut above.
They've both got a lot of quality.
They've both got strength in depth.
They've both got managers who've been there and done it.
So have Burnley, of course, and Scott Parker's side - who beat Sheffield United on Boxing Day - could easily prove me wrong. But a bit like West Brom, they just don't score enough goals.
Grinding out 1-0s might work sometimes. But the problem with keeping it tight or working from a possession base is that chances tend to come at a premium.
