Mattoon Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Loving the graph-off. Someone should keep that up throughout the season; really enjoyed the ones Dave did back when people cared. As for judging the league as 'shit' after winning away at an absolutely terrible Derby side, I'd say tread carefully. Yesterday was another excellent result but it was won at a canter against the worst team we've played so far. QPR will be another good measure of the quality of the league. Wouldn't be upset with four points from the QPR and Wolves games, with Villa and Norwich to come after that. The same QPR that struggled against relegation candidates Blackburn? I know a QPR supporter, goes to a lot of games and he's seriously shitting it, he said the only hope he's hanging on to is our poor form down south. They can't buy a goal from open play but have been dangerous at set plays, so long as Colback isn't available to give away needless free kicks we should be fine. These are an upper midtable team at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm convinced we'll win this league, I've been quite surprised how resilient a lot of teams are. We've had to defend well, and it's not like we are ripping teams apart, so I'm also going to hold off on calling all these teams shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Apart from the odd game last time down here (Reading home, Ipswich away mainly), it wasn't really until about February that season when we started to rip teams apart and piss it.

afar Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Apart from the odd game last time down here (Reading home, Ipswich away mainly), it wasn't really until about February that season when we started to rip teams apart and p*ss it. That's true, the Bristol City game this year reminded me of the Cardiff game in that last promotion season too. We've been functional to this point without pulling up any trees, which is a great sign because we'll only get stronger as the fixture list starts to stress teams squads. If we can get through this month at the top, I think we'll start to pull away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've so much depth too that when players start slacking off they can be replaced with players hungry for a place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I don't disagree it's just a bit too early. Not too concerned about table position as of yet, just need to keep banking the points and know that with our squad we should outlast the other teams around us. It'd be nice to have a healthy gap to 3rd place going into december. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 We won 6-0 and had a team not even playing that would be better than the rest of the league.

samptime29 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The squad depth feels like a real plus. Seems as though we have cover in every position. Long season so we will need Rafa with a bit of rotation, and class support from the fans home and away. Encouraging sign how many different players have scored.

"Poached" Or, you know, Rafa might just tell then to fuck off If we're doing well and looking good for promotion, I can't see Shelvey fucking off to a struggling Premiership side just to get relegated again. That goes for pretty much the whole squad now, really feels like the players we got now actually wants to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
