Strange as only two clubs have entered the transfer market, us and Sheffield Wednesday (and that was to re-sign one player).
When you look at it the only slight surprise is that Sheffield Wednesday are favourites ahead of their Yorkshire neighbours United and Huddersfield.
Wednesday had a not dissimilar disappointing season to Charlton. The only difference was that they never actually even flirted with the play offs, unlike ourselves. Having said this despite finishing two places below us in 15th they had a neutral goal difference unlike 6 teams above them who finished on a minus figure.
No surprise in Huddersfield being one of the favourites along with the three relegated teams. Franchise sneak in as 7th favourite's. I hope they remain in the division and AFC come up to give them the retribution they so richly deserve.
And so to us. We've never coped particularly well when favourites, so perhaps with some of the pressure and expectation off of us it could be our year?
It's going to be a very tough division next year, one of the toughest I can ever remember. Personally I would rather have seen Huddersfield get promoted over Peterborough because I think they were the better side.
ReplyDeleteWhoever gets promoted next season is really going to have earned it. I hope we get out of the traps very quickly otherwise it could mean yet another season of mediocrity.
