Toon Midfielder Happy With 'Underdog' Tag
Although Danny Guthrie is getting a little carried away saying we are one of the favourites for relegation (we are 7th favourites to WIN the Premiership!), he wants us to be underdogs. Danny Guthrie: “You know, a lot of people wrote us off before a ball had been kicked in the Championship. “Whatever is thrown at us in terms of pre-season predictions, we’ll just ignore it. We have to. "If we had worried about what people were saying about us 12 months ago we might never have got promoted. “There was so much doubt last year, it doesn’t bother us if people are saying we’re going to struggle in the Premier League. "It was nice to prove people wrong and, hopefully, we can do that again this season. “We’re going to be more of an underdog this season. Last year we were the team everybody wanted to beat, the scalp everyone wanted to take. “It’ll be completely different coming back into the Premier League. “We were the top team in the Championship, but the roles are going to be slightly different this season. “We know it’s going to be a lot harder for us, home and away, but we’ll still go into every game believing we can win it.”
