Isn't this the same publication that had us as relegated at the beginning of last season

We've a tough run-in but so we need to have a solid mid-season. I'm confident we'll have enough points on the board by then.

I am more than happy that the pundits see us as cannon fodder this season. Let's hope the other 19 teams see us that way as well

Two years ago we were predicted to be relegated from the Championship. We ended up 2nd= (alright 3rd on goal difference). Really this prediction lark is just so much bollocks.

"hile I can't quite find a reason to have Huddersfield stay up other than David Wagner is quite cool."
That says it all.
I know I'm a Brighton fan, but I accept we will be in a relegation scrap. But why on Earth are people constantly touting Huddersfield for survival when all they've done is sign Championship players and came fifth in the league?
It's sheer arrogance and it's frustrating. I sincerely hope these are blasted everywhere in the training grounds to spur our boys on.

I don't really get why anyone is bothered about these things.
If I was a neutral, I'd be tipping us for relegation too (along with Huddersfield, and one of Burnley, Swansea & Watford, possibly with an unexpected dive from Stoke, Palace or WBA just to add a bit of novelty value).
To be honest, the only thing that puzzles me is that nobody seems to include Newcastle in the mix (me included, until I typed that!). They didn't exactly smash all comers last season, and seemingly haven't done a lot of notable transfer business, so are pundits and the rest of us being fooled by Rafa and their original Big Club status?

Genuinely can't see how so many are putting Huddersfield ahead of us.
Spot on. If Rafa walks they are in deep doo-doo.

I wonder if these 'experts' predicted we would go up last season?

We are certainly in a relegation scrap so it is no surprise that many will think that we will go.
However, we have surprised the accepted wisdom over and over so there is no reason we won't do it again. The last couple of signings won't have been taken into account and I don't think Hughton gets the respect he deserved so we are in with a decent chance.
Lets do it playing 4-3-3 too

I reckon we might also get a few managers sacked with fans calling 606 "with all respect but we should be beating teams like Brighton.."
Good to be under the radar at least for the first season

The consistent predictions across the press and 'experts' that Huddersfield are in little danger or less danger of relegation than we are is fascinating.
For the sake of football I hope they stay up (not at our expense obviously) but you have to question the logic of the 'experts' and for me it comes down to this.
Huds have gone for the 'sign decent championship players' approach with one random unheard of striker thrown in to the mix. English players - they can hack the championship, they'll keep them up!
It might work? Who knows? The other aspect is the press are seemingly gagging for another Klopp to jump up and down and break his glasses in ultra HD.
I think we aren't fancied because the 'experts look at our squad on paper and have no idea or desire to do their homework on messrs Suttner, Gross and Propper, etc
Let's hope we continue under the radar and surprise the many not the few.

Don't give a shit where we finish if i'm honest. Only saw us a few times the last time we was in the top flight and after the crap we have been through i never thought i would see us play top flight football again. So i'm just going to enjoy the occasion and if were relegated meh!

I've thought this for a while, Ashley is unpredictable, Rafa seems to be constantly bemoaning the transfer situation and the fans turn quicker than milk mixed with vinegar. A bad start and they could implode or they could do a Brighton and make a couple of top signings. Pundits are pretty lazy and predictable. Time will tell.
