If we can keep this up by the end of January I think we could make a good judgement. We will know which gaps in our squad we need to fill and how well we’ve filled them.

If we keep up our current points ratio until the end of January we will be promoted by then just about...

To not get promoted you're going to have to lose some, how would you cope?

Happy Percy Pedent?

I'd be tempted if it was a 2nd place and automatic promotion, just for the sake of the club finances but personally I want the title, I always want the title and although the season is at the early stages I believe we have a chance of getting it.

I would not take a playoff spot now as I believe we have a really great chance of at least achieving that.

We clearly didn't know at the time, but we had amassed enough points by the first week of February to go up in 05/06. We only had 81 to beat, after all.

Interesting that Sheff Utd got 92 points, which would be enough to win the title most years and lost it by 14 :shock:

We were pretty good that season

Nope, International break is exactly what we needed, hopefully at that point Moore, Meite and Ejaria will all be back.

NO.

Just pretend you don't know the result sequence and look at the table.

Consider, too how Bristol City started with 4 straight wins, then "fell apart" only to return to back-to-back wins and are in fifth.

We go into the international break unequivocally top. Most of us would have given a limb to see that.

If we were to repeat the first eleven games (including those three horrible defeats) we would be on 66 points from 33 games, championship winning form and only needing a couple of wins from our final 13 games to make the POs.

Or repeat it three more times for 88 points with two games to play.

I think the top six will come from the current top six plus Bournemouth with Boro having a chance.

We are lucky to have this break. Yiadom gaining fitness, Moore probably back, Meite back, Ejaria back. Obviously it depends on mentality, and Pauno getting the lads' heads right, but I feel genuinely optimistic.

If I had to be my life on it I'd think Watford and Norwich are most likely to gain 1-2, but we have pole position, and I like it there.

PS

We are 15 point's and 18 Goals GD clear of relegation
