Them and Birmingham who have a points deduction. Sheffield Wednesday don’t look that convincing, QPR and Plymouth are same odds as us. Then you have Ipswich being 6th favourite which screams of (what promoted team is most likely to do a Sunderland?)

We finished our season less than a month ago, Premier League finished theirs last weekend. Absolutely ridiculous to moan at this point, Pearson has already said he wants new players in before pre season aswell

I don’t normally look too much into these as they are always fairly inaccurate but some of the teams with shorter odds and are the same odds as us are absolutely laughable

Wish him well, with the runs their front 3 like to make out wide I think he’d be a good addition. Although always preferred him as a full back as opposed to a wing back

Yep had Cirkin out for the playoffs and then didn’t field a centre back for the back end of the season so would imagine they get the likes of Batth and Alese back. Aswell as them no doubt splashing some cash

Yep, really unfortunate timing with our injury situation at the first team. Araoye one who looked really impressive v Bournemouth in pre season who was an injured centre back. Elijah Morrison is being heavily raved about by Tinnion, think his time could come this season and hopefully we see more of OTC

Looks strong but I do remember being really worried the last time all of the promoted sides stayed up and only one made the playoffs and we finished 8th. One team I really fancy this season is Sunderland even without Diallo

Playoffs is definitely achievable whilst they have McKenna. Definitely shouldn’t be seen as a minimum and god help them also if McKenna gets poached mid season

Is a shock he’s in there considering he has struggled for Walsall and didn’t exactly have a debut to remember for us. Clearly rated by Wales so all credit to him

We’ve looked decent but trying to over complicate it for me. We get to the final third and it’s like a hot potato

Problem is Holden started with a system that didn’t make the most of him. Made sense to cash in at the time, which is why it was frustrating that the system was quickly scrapped

Great goal from Osula in fairness

Definitely this, doubt Pearson will be joking with him like that if he was waving goodbye to the away fans after what he said about Massengo doing that last season

Pearson says we’ve offered Dasilva a new contract and new contract for Scott still on the table. Not saying they’re both staying this summer, but doubt any firm decisions from the players have been made yet

Schumacher has worked wonders, thought Lowe was a huge loss at the time but to do what he’s done competing with Ipswich and Wednesday is an excellent achievement

Shock of the century that Cardiff is in for another of our former players

Does anyone know what the requirement for apprentice of the year is?

Shocking appointment in the first place, think they’ve left it too late personally. If they do somehow pick it up then my word we have a relegation battle on our hands

9 points off and we still have to play the top 3, I think we’ve left it too late. No reason why we can’t go for top half though which I’d be happy with

Thought Huddersfield were terrible when we played them both times, credit where it’s due Warnock has turned them around. Relegation battle looks very interesting now, we interestingly finish the season against QPR

Oh don’t get me wrong he would be a very worthy call up but I’m similarly not bothered because he wouldn’t get in the best 11. If you look at the squad Jones and Palmer I believe both have premier league winners medals, not sure if McAtee got enough appearances last season for one aswell? Likes of Aarons, Johnson, Colwill, Thomas, Ramsey, Jones, Skipp, Elliott, Smith-Rowe and Palmer have all had a lot of prem appearances and a few more of those have made plenty of appearances abroad. I think it’s a good squad, although the France squad I saw is certainly a bit better!

He’s certainly performing better than I’d say atleast 4 of those midfielders but he’d get more game time with the U20 which would only improve his progression. Also that U20 squad is largely the same that won the U19 Euros so does make sense Disagree, think it’s very strong. Lewis, Gibbs-White and Colwill all had shouts of being called up to the seniors with Smith-Rowe called up in the past. Balogun only two goals off Mbappe in the Ligue 1 scoring charts (4 more than Messi), midfield is very strong even without Scott and plenty of prem experience aswell as players in form

Completely agree, even when Williams was in midfield we got by but creating chances in open play was a huge problem. As much as I think King can do a job, giving him 4 starts in 14 games is a huge ask

Being beaten tamely at his near post v Cardiff is very harsh not just on Max but the goal scorer. Very good strike drilled on the floor
