Not sure many would consider us as one of those 3 or 4 teams. Lot of games to go. Several teams will have blips. Just not convinced as some people are with regards to squad depth.

What areas do you think we lack depth?

The obvious one we don't have real quality cover for is Godden but apart from that I think we're pretty stro g depth wise in most areas.

Having a billionaire is a requirement to break into that particular stranglehold. That's really what the game has become, clubs like Bournemouth making so much off TV money they could make a profit with no fans, others like Wolves whoring out to the highest bidder and the not so lucky selling their grounds to gamble at the big time, failing that they just overspend in an attempt to keep up. All the while praise gets lavished on Man City for having an infinite budget and predictably wiping teams off the pitch.

It isn't really exciting to see which one of the top 6 will have the best season while paint drying is more appealing than Watford v Burnley

Depends on the colour

The left of midfield isn't looking too hot while Hiwulla looks distinctly awkward playing in his advanced position too. If Jones were up and running it might be a different story but we are pretty weak in that part of the pitch.

Yes, up front. Fear we’re on thin ice already with injuries. If Godden fell victim then we’re hoping for the best with Bakayoko or Biamou. As much as I love Max there was plenty of times he didn’t fill me with confidence in League Two. O’Hare as well - big player. Hiwula doesn’t show up enough.

It's 3 different winners. It's had 6 different winners in 26 years, but for billions oil money (Chelsea and Man City) it'd be less still. Division 1 had 8 in the preceding 26 years.

Man City
Leicester
Chelsea
Man U
Learn to count

Tommo1993 · Sep 21, 2019

4 winners in 7 years. 3 winners in 6.

Utd last won it in 12/13

I had a look at some bookies' odds last night and they all have us as outsiders for automatic promotion and around evens for the play offs.

They're rarely wrong.

Were Leicester favourites then?

Not infallible though.

Or not

It would in terms of the club surviving (the £££s). Of course we'd almost certainly get relegated, but oh those parachute payments (drool)!

I knew someone would come along and use the 1/1000 shot as an argument.

Against a team who brushed us aside with ease.... I dread to think what the score would be if we played them.

Brushed us aside with ease??? Did you attend the game? I'm guessing not.

You couldn’t possibly think that Watford (a very weakened Watford at that) were lucky to beat us?

clint van damme · Sep 22, 2019

Why the fuck are people arguing over how we'd get on against Man City for fucks sake?

It's how we're going to get on against Doncaster and Ipswich in games that are actually going to happen that's important.

larry_david · Sep 22, 2019

It's emerging the only teams to fear in league 1 so far are Ipswich and us.

Magwitch · Sep 22, 2019

I think we have a good squad with more round pegs in round holes and there’s a bit of depth there and some good players like Allen and hopefully Jodie Jones to come in yet, don’t think we’ve got the forward line up to speed yet as I’d like it but we are getting there. I think our team will get better too.

Sky Blue Harry H · Sep 22, 2019

Doncaster will be a big test - play good football. want to keep our 100% record, but I'd take staying unbeaten.

Sky Blue Pete · Sep 22, 2019

I’d take a win

SeaSeeEffCee · Sep 22, 2019

Next two should tell us how good we really are. Very kind start to to season with some tough games to play now. Pick up a few wins and we should cement ourselves as promotion contenders.

A weakened Watford side bringing in international and multi million pound players beat a weakened Coventry team bringing in kids

This easy start stuff is nonsense really

And despite City’s handful of chances, swept us aside quite easily, yes.

Why is it? The majority of teams we've played so far are poor sides and have struggled so far.

Skybluemichael · Sep 22, 2019

Burton Blackpool Oxford gillingham Portsmouth are good teams

Yes but as expected

I see Paul Lambert has had a go about the antics of that horrible fucker Evans in their game with Gillingham yesterday.

About time the EFL dealt with the prick.

Presume the Gills were physical ? What was said by Lambert ?

Sky Blue Pete · Sep 22, 2019

Notice the manager of the month has won 2 games on the spin since winning if

The opposition dug out were a disgrace. Wasn't happy with comments aimed at his players and staff, refused to shake hands afterwards.
The usual Evans repertoire.

Always good to have a go when you win the game as well
