Anyone else noticed that we have yet to play any of the teams currently in the top 8,and won't be in the next 3 games either,I'm not suggested anyone we have played so far have been **** but have we really had a hard game yet,which maybe the exception of Leeds away,next 3 games are certainly winnable,then we start playing some of the top teams in the league.We have yet to play well over 90 mins this season,and only scored twice in the first game of the season and only won by a single goal( 1-0 in all,except the 2-1),all against teams below 8 th place,not being negative( maybe a little)but bigger tests ahead and by Christmas we should have a truer idea of how good we are.

Most bookies expected Bolton to be Top 6 end of season and Leeds could have gone 2nd, 2 weeks ago, both sides we have beaten on their own patch. Whilst I am not doing cartwheels just yet, we have had a ****** good start and hopefully our performance level will improve as the season moves on and we start to meet other sides who will challenge us for promotion. Bookies don't often get it wrong and we are favourites for a reason. We have the added pressure that as favourites everyone will raise their own game against us but that comes with the territory of being a club with pedigree.

Its all relevant
But you could say we have been lucky at the times we have played certain teams.
For example Burnley and Blackpool could suddenly begin to struggle as they dont have much depth in thier squad and when we play them we may then see it as an easy game.
Bolton may not be performing currently but could end up in the top six with a run of ten games (as this league can change quickly in ten games) and we could be looking at the win at Bolton as quality
We may just be playing the right teams at the right times...

Originally posted by gravesendhoop View PostThe poorer teams will set up shop to make it difficult for us to break them down hence the low scoring games. When we play better teams that have a go at us I hope it will open up games allowing our forward thinking players more space to do serious damage.
Hopefully!
