Fan's view - Jamie Kemble, Inside Cardiff City
Expectation: Cardiff performed well on a restricted budget last season and despite having a new man at the helm, we have a group of players who have been together for a couple of years now. There's a good standard in the squad and more importantly, there are four or five match winners. The Bluebirds should be confident about securing a play-off place this season but the quality of teams coming down from the Premier League means automatic will be a big ask.
Most Important player: We don't have standout players but when Lex Immers joined on loan last season, he completely changed the focus of our play and he can make a difference this term.
Who will win the league? Sheffield Wednesday
Cardiff are a solid side, full of experience but they might just lack a goalscorer to get them into the top-six. They’ll win plenty of games though.
Dark horse? Bristol City
One Championship player you'd want to sign? Ross McCormack
Ollie's prediction: 8th
Cardiff are a solid side, full of experience but they might just lack a goalscorer to get them into the top six. They'll win plenty of games though.
