Well the topic title sais it all.
Who, from the 3 clubs promoted, had a top season overall?
Things like assists and goals scored and stuff.
Also the biggest question here is, from the 3 teams, who do you expect to do well or really well in the premiership?

Well Reading obviously had a cracking season as they won the Championship with record points (106).
In the top division i think Reading will be the only team to stay up. I think they'll do what Wigan done this year, and finish around mid-table/high bottom half. They've got players like Bobby Convey, Steve Sidwell, and Leroy Lita who wont have any problem establishing themselves in the Premiership.
Sheffield United will finish bottom, without a doubt. They've done exactly what Sunderland done last year, totally stupid. They should know that signing championship players for the premiership doesnt work...you need higher quality players with Premiership experience!
Watford could survive...but i dont think they will personally. They'll finish 17th or 18th, but wont have a season to shout about. They'll be fighting from start to finish.
Im not the best person to answer this like as my focus was on the Premiership last season, so i didnt see as much of the Championship as i would have if Sunderland were in it...

Well Reading were just a cut above the rest and ever since they suffered an opening day defeat to Plymouth they never looked back and cruised to promotion basically. As for them staying up, i think they could surprise alot of people next year like Wigan did, they have some very good players like Convey, Sidwell, Sonko and Lita and if they can add a few new faces then im sure they can survive.
What are Sheff Utd doing buying all these no mark players, im sure they would be better signing 2 or 3 quality players rather than 9-10 average players. They played well last season but didnt look all that good at times, i think they will struggle and probably finish bottom.
It would be a great story if Watford stayed up next season after all what Boothroyd has done there, they have some fine players like Young, King and DeMerit, they also have brought in experience like Chris Powell and Francis in midfield who i thought was brilliant up in the Prem with Norwich but not quite with Wigan. Last season they were a breath of fresh air in the Championship and out of the 3 i would like Watford to stay up the most.
