I took a little time to compose this but it got anchored to drop like a stone, I don't know why, so I'll try again. If it gets blatted a second time I'm happy to call it a draw and not raise the matter again! Well, its taken 8 short days for the realisation that we are not very special to become apparent to the wider public SkyBet5/1 Leeds 7/1 Middlesborough 8/1 Swansea, Stoke 10/1 WBA, Villa, Forest 11/1 Brentford 16/1 Frank Lampard's Derby

I was looking at some of them Prem fixtures today & thought that half the division is made up of ‘lesser’ teams. That’s all...

I never bought into the idea we were favourites anyway. It wasn't based on anything substantial. True we were in the Premier last season but we were relegated for several reasons.

It irked me no end when we were favourites pre-season.
From what I've seen to date, we're still very UNDER-PRICED being THIRD favourite...we should be longer than 8/1
I noticed we've gone from 6/4-ish to 11/4-3/1-ish to be promoted, too

I'm glad we aren't. There is no reason we should be anyway as far as i am concerned. It's a a long season and as long as we are in the mix at the end of the season that will do for me. We fell and to be rebuilt in a day is asking too much, if we are then i hope it is with a good foundation.

Too much expectations = Too much pressure. No need to be a favorite, we say it in Arabic "who laughs at the end, who laughs more"

I can't imagine we'll be 'bouncing back'.
Maybe this has now dawned on those who were wishing for Championship.
Wait until we are flirting with relegation. If not this season then maybe the 8th or 9th season in this division.
