Rival Watch

Yep i think those comments might have been more that I thought we played pretty well throughout even in that second half more than a criticism of Bournemouth though

Swansea winning at Cardiff and in complete control (albeit only 1-0), going second as it stands

Forest goal disallowed against Brentford for exactly the same thing as Brum’s second goal in the week - ie offside player blocking keepers view

was just going to post the same

Forest are utter gash. 1 point and 1 goal in 7. Hughton out.

That 3rd Brentford goal today was utterly embarrassing

[From Despair To Where?]

And Knockeart gets sent off for being a gobby, diving cheat

Yep shame that

[bcubed]

And Knockeart gets sent off for being a gobby, diving cheat

that ought to be written on his wiki page

[From Despair To Where?]

His career encapsulated in one incident. Takes a dive, gets sent off for dissent.

So, after yesterday's wins for all the top sides, I'd say it's looking like the top 4 nailed for auto/play offs with the remaining 2 places between us, Brentford, Bristol (when injuries clear up they will be a force). The current sides just under such as Stoke, Boro , Cardiff are dangerous but I just don't see them putting the necessary run together to make a sustained challenge. All play by and large a stopping/functional game which will produce some good results but unlikely to be on a consistent enough basis to challenge.

I've seen Swansea's last 2 sky games and am seriously impressed with them, very solid at the back, good shape and 2 very dangerous strikers.....not seen much of Brentford aside from half an hour of the QPR game when they weren't great but they are stringing results together now and seem to be over losing Benrama and Watkins.

With us, whatever happens we will be thereabouts start of the year and will have Joao & hopefully Meite coming back fresh and up against tired defenders so I still feel we will be around top 6 at the business end of the season.

Eh, I think the only impressive team so far is Norwich, especially that they've continued this form despite picking up a similar amount of injuries as us, great depth.

Bournemouth are ridiculously good when they're at their best but a lot can still change.

Reading just need to bring in a 2/3 players in January to give a bit more depth but more importantly to give options of something different, particularly from the bench to shake a game up.

Not rivals this season but can’t say I’m not slightly enjoying Sheff Utd being terrible this season after trying to pick up swift on the cheap whilst paying 20m for a bang average keeper

They should be well adrift given their appalling start but a couple of wins and....

Two wins might have to wait till next season at this rate

It's absolutely wonderful to see, I am loving it

[Pepe the Horseman]

Just looked at the table, Coventry and Millwall suddenly on the same points! Cov now 8 points clear of the relegation zone.

Have Stoke ever been involved in a game that could remotely be classed as entertaining?
