Guest Posted August 1, 2009 Hmm Southend - a club with such high prospects for this season they''ve just had to sign two defenders on loan from their local rivals! [:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it actually shows that football is weird and unpredictable. I remember reading that we were certainties for relegation in the season that we got the playoff final!

WrightyBoy 0 Posted August 1, 2009 442 are completely clueless!!! I remember they once did a top 50 players in the Championship spread....Hux was in his prime (think it was our 1st season back in the championship).....Hux was not even in it!! Earnshaw was 17th I think....even Adam Dury was in there!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FASTasHUCK 0 Posted August 1, 2009 Im pretty sure one of the co-editors of 442 magazine is a Norwich fan, as mentioned in the August Edition. Like many other Norwich fans seems to be a tad pessemistic, but may have not had new signings taken into account. x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norwichrossi 0 Posted August 1, 2009 I think we have made some of the best signings in League 1 so far this summer, as well as some former Championship standard we have a decent squad.Why they think we will finish 15th baffles me, i think we will comfortably finish top half, towards the higher end of the table Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its only my opinion 0 Posted August 1, 2009 Looking at it i don''t agree with us being 15th but all the other teams are pretty close to where you would expect them to be.... i hope it''s not our pre season optimism making us think we are better than we are!!!

Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted August 1, 2009 Have to say that I am surprised by 442, used to think that they were more of a ''proper'' mag but perhaps they are going the way of everyone else and only being interested in the top league(s). Southend and Brentford in particular have done nothing much at all to suggest that they will be in the top 3, and the bookies certainly don''t agree with 442: a quick look on easyodds.com shows the best odds for us to achieve promotion (ie not just to win the league) = 9/4, second favourites behind Leeds; Brentford are 14th (12/1) and Southend 10th at 8/1....imo that is surely far more realistic.Still, predictions are just that, and everyone''s entitled to their view: we just have to show how wrong they are.
