I listened to a podcast last week of a preview of the league. They tipped us to finish top and during the chit chat,the line "They've still got players like Fletcher and Charlie Adam in their squad" came out.
They were being serious. Christ, that's why people are worried. We know exactly what they aren't capable of.

I do not see how people make us favourites. We have not played in this league for ten years, we have some players who are not good enough, we have a serious issue of confidence. Comparisons of players on paper yep but in reality not a chance. The only one who knows that league is the manager, let's hope he's done his work

With the players whose legs have gone can't make a case, especially in midfield. However for the others one or two who failed in the Premier League will find the lower level suits them and will flourish, that's normal.

Pundits and bookies got it dreadfully wrong last year believing the well run myth , fo rme they are Mile off I’d take 52 points now if offered Check out the BBC link They got four of the top five right last year and three of the bottom four. That's pretty good predicting in anyone's book.

He probably can't sleep at night worrying that in 7 or 8 billion years the Sun will become a red giant and vapourise the Earth.

I.e the pundits pretty much called the Championship right. The same pundits are making Stoke favourites. I think a lot of fans haven't twigged that the Championship isn't high quality,hard yes,high quality no.

We've historicallly never had particularly good pre seasons, give the man a chance.

I am very happy with the choice of manager and all the new coaching staff. On the playing side my only real concern is can we score enough goals on a regular basis ?

Having watched Reading vs. Derby and the first half of Ipswich vs. Blackburn...….surely we MUST finish very close to the top??
