Sharp, league 1 at best.
Reckon a few EPL defences will be asking themselves "who was supposed to be picking him up?" And "Where did he come from?"
Absolutely certain of that, me.
 

It's safe to suggest newly promoted teams will go straight back down. It's easier to look at transfer fees than to study overall tactical approaches and a squad's suitability and cohesion. It's time saving to watch the top PL teams and ignore everyone else. Not many people are going to criticise these predictions, but it does go to show you should never take anything these pundits say seriously.
Yes, there's a good chance we'll come back down. No, I don't think we will.
 
Barring injuries I can't see us having much trouble making mid table, if it hadn't been for Coutts injurie and the lack of cover for him I think we would have been here last season,.but I'm not criticizing any one for the lack of cover back then we are getting stronger and stronger each season and it's the way it has to be done, it's just that when you get to my age you want em to hurry up …..

Don't think he'll get fired though and don't think he'll get stick from our fans.

Warnock got some because of the attitude, the frame of mind he put our players in.
Happy to be here.
We're just enjoying ourselves.

And then sending the team out away from home beaten before they start.

It's a drain on players confidence when they already don't believe they're good enough, and don't belong there.

I hope Wilder won't be like that, I hope his team takes to the Prem just like his team took to the Championship when the same comments were being said.

Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have had some awful hammerings in recent years, so it's folly to think we won't suffer the same.

But as long as we try to continue our own unique style I think everybody will be happy with the further progress made, even if we aren't quite good enough this particular season

Sorry mate, I'd like to agree with you, and I will be quite chilled whatever happens but I can guarantee that not "everybody" will be happy, especially if we fall on hard times results wise.

You only have to look at all the shit flying John Lundstram's way after a pre season friendly to find the evidence.

Shout box was unvelielavable and the bile being spouted wouldn't have been any worse if it was Blades hurling it at Forestfairy or Bamford.

This is all music to my ears...I hope the other 19 teams are as ignorant in their approach to scouting us as the journos are to their research about our survival chances.

I don't know why but this coming season we could win 37 and lose 1 folk would still moan that we lost 1, I think we'll be okay and don't see us going down.

Blades to go down in 2020? Possibly.

Adrian Durham to win 'Utter cunt of the year'? Nailed on.

Our multiple 20th place predictions are basically the reverse of all those seasons in League 1 where the bookies had us down to win the division – they were wrong 5 of the 6 seasons.
 
When we've been in the PL before, I never paid any attention to the lower league s so it's normal for fans to assume we'll go straight back down.

The fact people who claim to be paid football pundits cannot get the countries right let alone the player's should be ashamed as it's their job. Soccer Saturday tells them precisely who is doing what every week.
 
Who asked for these pundits opinions? They are getting paid good money to tell us what most of the country already know. It like predicting the out come of Brexit. Nobody really knows.
 
I think we have to remember here that to them we're not that important, as one of them said if we do well they expect Mr Wilder to move on to a bigger club...……. :tumbleweed:
 
I'm certain these grossly overpaid soothsayers would much preferred Leeds to have been promoted. Tough titty, get used to it,I bet there was a collective "I do not believe it" when Bash did the works. All their prearranged praise down the bog. I hope we can prove to all these ill informed biased idiots what utter twats they really are. Oh, forgot to mention, thanks Roy, my B.P. is now slowly returning to normal.

The last comment is probably even worse than the pretend journos and so called football experts

Why? I know you're a self certified expert so I'd be interested to get your view.

Where should I think we'll finish? This season will be tough, I sincerely hope it's not and that my prediction and expectation of us finishing in the bottom 3 is wrong.

I'm not being negative about it, we have come a long way in a short time and I think it will be a step too far this season. I'd like to think Wilder has a trick or 2 up his sleeve and that the signings he's made plus the players from last season can gel and achieve something that we didn't manage last time around.

I hope you're right but I don't completely share your optimism.

I'm certain that when we lose a few there will be moaning pillocks all around me on the top.

K'inell Wilder that dunt know wot tha's doing.

What's them fucking subs, he's lost the plot.

Why we so fucking deep, gerrit forrard

He's out of hisfucking depth etc etc.

Come what may I won't be one of em though.

If we coasted to 8th position in the league but don't have a thrilling end to the season there'd be a bunch of moaners.

So on the whole we aren't fancied to stay up?!

Stick a print of roy's web page on the dressing room wall and hope it inspires the players.

I'll still say that if we finish 4th bottom or higher I'll be ecstatic and surprised.

We won’t be relegated and we are all doomed, the end of the world is nigh🥳
 
Surprised no one has sussed him out....

Steve Nicol.... PIG.

Never gonna write a positive word about us....

Fair enough mate, might have misunderstood you a bit.

It just looked a bit defeatist first glance

Ha! I suspect you're right - Did you see the Man City series?...his players get homework on top of his scouting reports and video presentations.

Yes I did and they’re not going to be completely unique. Our hope is that as Robinson has said from his time at PNE knowing what’s coming and stopping it are different
 
Hope so - I doubt we managed to elude Bielsa's vast spying network last season and still managed to get a result at Elland Rd. I think we'll be less predictable in the way we next year anyway - the new signings should have given us the ability to adjust our approach if needed

Well at least there's no tired old cliches about 'northern grit' and 'being hard working'.

Sadly alot of this lot just seem to be a bunch of people who think football is won on paper and not on the pitch. The more you spend the better you do in their world. Hence why they seem to think Villa will do alright, ignoring the fact that Villa have spent a fortune replacing all the loan signings they had in the Championship and very little improving their squad.

Media speak. Controversy perpetuates sales and on and on it goes. Bit like Cameron with Brexit. Light the touch paper and run away.
 
Zaha just handed in a transfer request that's a bonus for us
 
Not read all the posts on here, but I am comfortable with the thought that few if any of these 'experts' would have predicted automatic promotion for us last season. I am sure CWAK will take delight in sticking it to the 'I would love to be proven wrong but...' brigade.
UTB!!!

If I was neutral on the outside and used cold logic then I would also would be predicting us, Norwich and possibly Villa for bottom 2.

They don’t yet know that Chris Wilder is easily one of the best managers in the UK.
The experts think we’ll be like a Warnock team and the only way we can win is by using 100% effort and 100% motivation, shit housing our way to points playing physically intimidating direct football.

However I’m expecting us to dominate and outplay some PL teams and I can’t wait to see the reaction from the pundits.
Really think Wilder is going to set the division on fire and become a really big national name.

Self proclaimed "experts". Looking forward to Jeff Stelling's views. He is usually pretty balanced.
