A Super Computer has predicted the Championship table for the 2017-18 season... and it's not good news as far as Cardiff City are concerned. <\/p>\n
The Bluebirds have been heavily active in the summer transfer window, with Neil Warnock signing no fewer than seven players ahead of his side's league opener against Burton at the Pirelli Stadium on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Some bookies have already written off Cardiff's hopes of gaining promotion into the promised land of the Premier League this season while journalists from their 23 Championship rivals also believe the Bluebirds will miss out on a place in the top six . <\/p>\n
And TalkSport's Super Computer - which uses a wide range of data to determine the final table - has also predicted the Bluebirds will miss out on promotion, by some distance too. <\/p>\n
Their table has Cardiff finishing in 14th place, behind the likes of Wolves, Birmingham and Nottingham Forest, who all finished below the Bluebirds last season. <\/p>\n
It has Garry Monk's Middlesbrough down to win the league title, with big-spending Wolves also set to gain automatic promotion into England's top flight. <\/p>\n
Aston Villa, Fulham, Norwich and Sheffield Wednesday are the teams the gadget has predicted to make up the play-off places, with Leeds, Brentford, Reading and Hull among those expected to secure top 10 finishes. <\/p>\n
It has newly-promoted Millwall down to be relegated along with Nigel Clough's Burton and Cardiff's Severnside rivals Bristol City, who the gadget predicts will finish at the bottom of the pile. <\/p>\n
So while we suspect Neil Warnock (and most probably the Cardiff faithful) won't be bothered in the slightest that a computer is tipping them for a bottom half finish, the Yorkshireman will certainly relish proving all of his doubters wrong by enjoying a memorable campaign in the Welsh capital and leading the club into the Premier League next year. <\/p>\n
