Exactly. It seems they just get a list of summer signings and base their judgement off that. Par for the course for ex-players working as TV pundits but I expect more from a podcast.
I find the Football Weekly lot a bit lacking in the research department. In their season preview they criticised our transfer dealings due to the fact that our only forward additions were Enciso and Adingra, overlooking both Mitoma and Undav. Rushden went on to state he had no idea about the USG...
If anyone wants to hear some glowing praise for all things Albion, today's Totally Football pod is worth a listen.
Edit: Richard Jolly's piece in the Independent is also effusive in its praise.
