Underestimated? I'll take great joy in mailing them that at the end of the season.

I could careless what the "experts" say. Don't remember anyone tipping Luton or Plymouth to run away with it when they went up. League 1's like the grand national, to hard to predict who'll get the title.
"And the world may not be shaking yet,
but you may prove them wrong,
even long shots make it....
...so go then, out into history,
and show them how easy it can be
you might not believe it yet,
but pretty soon you'll see
even long shots make it....."

WTF?! 23rd?!
I'll have great pleasure in ramming that back down their throats at the end of the season.

I agree about strength in depth..slightly, but I think that could be tempered by the likes of Joyce, Kennedy, Alan etc coming through this season
Although if Mcnamee & Cox get's injured for a prolonged period we may have a problem

I can't see how they can on the one hand say we'll struggle as we've not added to a squad, when we've added 3 (they've also missed Timlin), and lost Boube, the Minge and fringe crap and BEST shite; and on the other hand put those Franchise fuckers at 10th when they've added only 2 players to their LEAGUE 2 squad, and lost 8 players.
That free transfer from Chesterfield and the Austrian fellah are obviously fucking worldbeaters that no-one else has ever noticed.

It's a shame SkyBet doesn't reflect this bloke's opinions. This morning we were at about 12s to go up, that's clearly not the odds given by someone who on the other hand says we're coming 23rd.
Being an underdog is much better than being an underachiever.

I'm slightly insulted - we finished above many of the teams above with this squad - I don't think any team has significantly improved their squads this summer either.
It's their opinion and we might just struggle as this league is so open... but to slap us in 23rd on the basis of transfer frustration is typical of SkySports and the fact that they 1) Don't know and 2) Don't care about anything really beyond the Championship.
Feck em.

About Scunthorpe they say "It perhaps came as no surprise that Scunthorpe suffered relegation last season and after losing Martin Paterson to Burnley may find it hard to challenge" and then predict them as 4th  |
