We're just v good. Millwall form reads; WDLWWW - that one loss was against us. QPR were unbeaten for several games after we battered them.

Last season, we had 9 points after 11 games... We finished 5th. I think it'll be a low threshold for playoffs again this season. Barring ourselves, there is no stand out team and teams are dropping points all over. The promoted teams are usually the easy 4-6 points for most teams but this...

I look at Sheff U as the fixture we're most likely to lose between now and the international break imo. I think this is a dangerous underestimation of them. They are the best team we've played this season and the best squad we've faced so don't think it's particularly wild to say they'll...

They're a tin pot club with delusions of grandeur. Hence, they've been taken in by owners promising big things. They're struggling to deliver in the Championship despite outspending most of the EFL over the last 2 seasons. You can financially bully L1 and L2, but the Championship is a tougher...

We're overperforming by 1 point now, which has swung by underperforming by a 2-3 points iirc. This is in the space of 2-3 games. The old adage is the past performance is not an indication of future success. We underperformed massively last season and should've been Top 3 on these metrics alone...

Exactly - if they keep the group together, they'll probably be Top 4 at least.

Boro are over performing their current position and that generally levels out as the season carries on. It’s still early doors but I still think Ipswich, Southampton, Sheff U and Leicester all make the playoffs. The former 2 will make it, Leicester probably will but depend on Jan as well as the...

If we get to 40 points in the next 9 games, it more or less mean we’ll make the playoffs barring a complete capitulation. That’s the first goal, judging by our start and relatively weaker starts from preseason favourites, you’d have to back us to make automatics. My big worry is squad depth...

I have a feeling we’ll draw v Watford or Wrexham. When you’re in the form we’re in, it feels like no one can stop us but the Championship can humble teams. Looking at the fixtures I fancy getting 10 points between now and the international break which would be an exceptional effort. Jed...

Their home form is a good, their away form is horrific. Only Ipswich and Watford are yet to win away. At home, it’s a fixture we ought to be picking up maximum points.

I’m not too concerned about other teams atm. There’s still a long way to go and teams will come in and out of form. If we can build a gap between ourselves and the rest of the pack, great. Hopefully that’ll give us an injection of cash to strengthen in Jan to keep us at that automatic form.

This is going to end badly for Blues. They’re paying 11% interest on the loans the owners give to their club. Imagine financing a 60k seater stadium in the championship? Delusional.

Haha we got Haji for £7.7m initially. Idah, like Kyogo (and Stansfield), even if they’re good players, their clubs have overspent on them.

I agree on the competition point. We have the luxury to rotate players in some areas now. The only ‘gap’ is our winger options because there is only EMC and Saka. KKH and Brau aren’t the players you want to bring on chasing games. All the games we’ve drew this season, we did look like we’d ran...

No doubt fans will snarkily chant ‘where were you when you were shit?’ If and when Wednesday bounce back. As a club, we can speak from experience and you’ve got to vote with your feet when the ownership are running your club into the ground.

If anyone fancies a game of FC26, PM me I’ll send my gamer tag!

Football fans are too easily governed by their immediate emotions.A player has a bad game = bad player and vice versa. We know v little about the things going on behind doors like players carrying injuries and so on. You had several posters saying Haji ‘can’t play in Lampard’s system’ and that...

In fairness, both BTA and Simms stepped up and won us games during our Jan-Feb form. The posters arguing we needed to sign a striker massively overlooked this. In all seriousness, BTA and Simms would start for most Championship teams. I got a decent amount pushback for saying this in preseason too.

Getting a club like our own to the Prem is a great project. If we go up and win the league unexpectedly, we could go up, play the ‘right way’ an elite European team could still offer him a job. That’s why happened with Kompany. I’m just not worried about the likes of Rangers, West Ham, Forest...

RVN was v much in fashion because he had a good spell at Man U who have since performed poorly. Zooming out, it was a v short term and comparing to Lampard, FL did actually finish in the Top 4 with Chelsea over a full season in difficult circumstances. Full disclosure: Lampard was a ‘meh’...
