Well this is what the blog said about Norwich

This year, Charlton, Leeds, Norwich and Southampton all find

themselves facing a hard slog to get back to the Championship. There

cannot be a third-tier league anywhere else in Europe than can boast so

many clubs of such size and stature.

"Undoubtedly the bigger the teams, the better the league and this season League One should be great," added Claridge.

I was convinced that Leeds would win last season''s play-offs and I expect them to go up this season under the assured management of Simon Grayson.

Norwich decided to keep faith in club legend Bryan Gunn,

despite his failure to avoid relegation last season. It was a bold move

but the Scot seems to have made some shrewd signings in the likes of defender Michael Nelson, winger Simon Whaley and forward Grant Holt.

Having brought in 12 players, Gunn must manage their transition from a

collection of individuals into a team if they are to succeed.

well i just found this on the sky sports website

Promotion contenders...

I''m looking Norwich

as the team to beat. Wes Hoolahan has been in this division before with

Blackpool and got them promoted, so he could be a star for them. Every

time I go there they are brilliantly supported with crowds in excess of

25,000 and it seems daft to say that relegation has been the best thing

for them. But after a few years of struggling in the Championship,

Bryan Gunn has made loads of new signings and he might turn them

around. He has brought in guys who are tried and tested at this level

and if they have a decent start they could blow teams away.Alongside the Canaries and the Saints, I think Charlton, Leeds,

Millwall and Huddersfield could make up the top six - although I don''t

know in what order - and the likes of MK Dons will not be far off

either.

Just listened to the Guardian Football Weekly podcast and they referred to League One having it''s own ''big four''. Leeds, Saints, Charlton and Norwich.

Seems as if many in the media expect us to have a decent season. Either that or they know bugger all about the rest of League One but have a vague recollection of the days when we were a half decent side [;)]

I am a bit concerned about all these stories suggesting we are going to be the team to beat before a ball has been kicked.  We are certainly going to be one of the teams that everyone else will be looking to beat and think if the team read to much into these articles we might come a cropper.

Hopefully BG will be beating it into the players that we are not owed anything by this league and need to go out on Saturday and prove ourselves from the start.
