We should be aiming for three points whoever we play in this division, Bolton and Leeds away no different. Not that impressed by any of the named players in original post. Either players who have done nothing in last couple of years or ones who showed promise but never really built on it.
Not saying it won't be tough but we have a very good squad at this level. Solid defence, Barton and Henry should be able to dictate possession in middle, Hoillett (if fit) and SWP out wide and Austin up front. In theory once we gel we should be dishing out some spankings. Let other sides worry about us, not the other way around.

Agree with you, we should be more ambitious If we really want to go up.
Would be great to go unbeaten for a good few games and scare the others into thinking we really are the club that is the best in this league. Draw at Bolton and Leeds would be heaven territory for me.
12 points on the board by the time we go into the Brighton game would be perfect. Average of 2 points a game for the rest of the season and we're laughing.
Brighton, Yeovil and Borough are 3 very winnable games.
Still plenty to do with the squad if the aim is to win the title and get promoted but improvement is there so far.
Centre Midfield options with Barton/Jenas/O'Neil/Faurlin/Henry is far better than Mbia/Granero/Park/Diakite. They might win or lose a few battles but they aint gonna get spanked every week like last years did. Also having forwards like Zamora/Johnson/Austin available when last year it was mostly Cisse and Adel playing up front is progress and Dunne/Simpson are good additions to defence.
The unfortunate part is that the starting point was low - even good improvement from a car crash wont look great - so hoping for some good additions and loans to strengthen further.
For Bolton I fancy em to get something there if everyone is fit.
We are going to give someone a good hiding soon i reckon. Not saying it will be Bolton, but if we play with the same mindset that 'Arry likes; attacking, i think we'll give them more to think about in their own penalty area than ours ......
