To be fair the Championship is normally incredibly hard to Predict but I'd have been surprised last year if we didn't finish in the top half let alone finish 16th!
I want someone to show this too the writer of this piece.. Oh how he would cringe at the Rickie part haha
How would a striker not scoring as many goals be a weakness. Surely a lack of pace, or cover at CB or something like that would be a weakness. We will probably be tipped to be in the relegation zone this year, standard procedure for a promoted team to the PL...if West Ham come up however, I bet they will be placed higher by the fawning media.
Oh hindsight! How wonderful it is. All those criticising the journalist might be a bit more humble if someone bumped a pre-season thread on here! Btw, with regard to "do-gooders" I heard once that there three types of people in this world; do-gooders, do-badders and do-nothings. And yes, I do occasionally read the Grauniad.
4-4-2 magazine had us finishing 10th with West Ham and Liecester in the top 2. Mind you, if you think that's bad, they had Charlton to finish 18th in Leagie One!!!
