Sunday's Observer

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Anyone see the Observer today? They had a page dedicated to fan's predictions. 17 fans from Championship clubs have us down to be relegated. I'm suprised it wasn't more...

 

[Stevie Boy]

in the news of the world, they have us to finish 23rd.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

who was 24th?

 

[Stevie Boy]

Crewe

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Thats utterly wrong then

 

[itszamora]

Let's not forget pretty much everyone predicted us to go down last season too. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but I reckon by the transfer window (which DOES apply to FL teams as well this year) shuts we'll have a couple of quality players in and will be able to make it.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Buy you can still bring players in on loan

True and I'm sure MM will get some in before too long. But this is a much stronger league. The relegated Premiership teams have all hung onto most of their best players and will be very strong. Plus last season's under performer's who we beat or took points off ( Wolves, Leeds, Leicester etc) are all better too. Moreover, the promoted teams - Sheff Wed, Hull are also capable of doing ok and have resources. Knowing us we'll fight all the way but it's going to be even more difficult this time.

 

[Stevie Boy]

my fault, they were placed 8th

Luton far to high in that table and also Plymouth will be comfortably mid-table. Also don't think Ipswich will do that well.
Wolves will be higher as will Leeds who aren't even in it!

I'm glad everyone thinks we're walkovers.

How many times did we hear the expression, 'With due respect, we should be beating teams like Brighton' (when we'd just taken 3 points off them)

 

[dougdeep]

There is no way that Palace will win this league.

Yorkie I agree with you on that - rather be predicted to go down and then suprise the big time charlies

Four Four Two magazine has us 20th, they relegate Watford, Millwall, Cardiff. Wolves win the league, Palace second, Norwich, Ipswich, Soton and Reading in play offs.
