    They clearly know nothing about football.

    The only surprise this season would be if we finish anywhere other than our current position in the table. ;)

    for me the league has three zones of 8. The top 8 , the real contenders. The middle 8, the consildators/builder. The bottom 8 the strugglers. I would happily to see Barnsley in the middle 8 at the finish. Then hopefully the top 8 the following season

    Agree with alot of what they have predicted anyone who finishes above Fulham will most likely be champions. I fancy brentford to be dark horses and hull to drop.

    It’s a strange one this. If/should we beat Fulham in the opening game what will all the predictions be after the result? Whilst I agree it will be only on the back of one result, would teams consider us more of a threat and less likely to be relegated? After all, the bookies and other fans are making their assumptions before we have even kicked a ball, so a win would should make them reconsider given this logic.

    I think its imperative we get off to a good start. We've seen it before when you can't see your next win and the effect that has on fans and young players. We've not seen how Stendel reacts to multiple defeats or a negative run of results.

    If we can scrape a point and retain that undefeated home run for a little while longer, confidence may just keep us ticking along. if we get off to a bad start, I really fear for us.

    I think if we play the potential top eight teams with a nothing to lose mentality we might surprise a few this season.

    Genuine pace going forward with one of the most natural finishes I’ve seen in a reds shirt leading the line. Scoring goals will not be a problem this season keeping them out will.

    Kevin kegan once said.. If the opposition score 7 we will score 8
    You reds... Back to back promotions "WHAT" DS wouldn't know what hit him.. He thinks the promotion party we've just had whereby players and the fans got together was good... Little did /does he realise that was just the warm up act...
