Journalists dont give a stuff about any league that is not The Premiership so their opinion is, as someone said, based on league positions last year and wether any signings of note have been made during the summer.
As we score badly on both counts its easy to see why we are tipped for the drop.
I bet none of these "experts" were within a 50 mile radius of St Marys to witness the West Ham or Stoke games which lets face it have given a lot of us cause for optimism.
