Yes more than happy to be in championship and to be competeting in every game barring Blackburn and to a lesser extent Bournemouth.

Just a shame we cant be there in person!

Wouldn't say happy. But relatively neutral.
We are doing ok.

I'm completely as expected at the moment. We aren't falling away and we aren't exceeding expectations in any way.

I would like us to kick on now we have had some time to settle in a bit. I think we do have potential to do better than we are, but it needs a bit more work from all. Tuesday for example I found extremely frustrating because I think we are better than that. Probably 2 or 3 players short of being comfortable in quality overall I would say.

Sure as shit though, if we finish where we are now come the end of the season I will take it.

Not in the relegation zone. So yes.

Yes, but no. As in, if our passing was up to last season's standard, I think we'd be a few points better off. It was a sloppy start to the season in that respect, and whilst understandably there was rustiness, I just can't help but think 'what if?'.

At times we haven’t done ourselves justice and sloppily given away goals and points. On the other hand we have benefited from other teams doing the same...these things tend to even out. Of course I would prefer us to be a few points and places better off at this stage but like most if we are in the same position at the end of the season I will be delighted.

Doing OK. Could be better, could be worse. Less confident than I was before the break, won’t be happy if we fail to make up ground in Dec after the run of games we started with.

Less confident since the break even though we have been unbeaten since the break.

Yeah, because I wasn’t concerned with a slow start and thought we were starting to look like we were adapting and had key players returning. I was looking forward to a run of games we had a good shout in where we’d start to put points on the board.

In terms of position, happy enough. We don’t appear to have been on our A game that often, which has felt frustrating at times, but undecided how much of that is down to us not playing great and how much is down to the difference in speed, physicality, the extended break we had, the long list of injuries to key players that coincided with a really tough start etc. Think if we’d had the same pre-season as the rest of the league and had been able to play our strongest line up from the get go, we might have seen a different first third.

Still don’t think we’ve seen Robins’ first choice lineup with fit players, but hoping we’ve stopped the flow of goals against and can push on from here.

No but only because there have been extremely avoidable silly errors that have cost goals, and absolute sitters that have been missed. Literally could have been 6 points further ahead. It’s just gutting...but as long as we don’t get relegated I’ll be happy

Ask again after Rotherham tomorrow. Such a big game imo. Even if we lose I think we will be ok, but come on we need to kick on now.

Well I’d take where we are now at the end of the season. I think we will do little bit better though.

Happy enough, but we need to keep cutting out the individual errors costing goals and get a few away wins on board to take pressure off home games, but feel MR will get it right.

I am happy to be in the Championship and also really happy at watching how we perform most days as we look like a really good team most of the time apart from Derby, Bournemouth and Blackburn and like Robins said if we turn performances into results we will be really competitive in this league

Even with the obvious step up in opposition level in terms of power, pace and quality we have not been outclassed apart from Bournemouth.
For me we are doing as well as expected in our first season back at this stage but there is much more to come from us. Looking forward to seeing how the team develops over the next couple of months.

I have to remind myself constantly that I said I’d be happy to scrape survival on GD. I suppose I am happy-ish. I’ll never be pleased about how we’ve thrown points away in a couple of games though.

There is an achievement in not getting relegated , and if you take into consideration other teams budgets , class of players and the fact the atmosphere we as fans back in the championship would of generated I will be more than happy with survival ..

Before the season i'd have been delighted with 19th but we've seen that the players we have are good enough to compete in this league with more teams than I expected. Having made ourselves hard to beat, my concern now is we will start to drop points where we should be picking up all 3 by not being ambitious enough in the games against teams we could win against, which will end up making the season much harder for ourselves than it really needs to be.

15 games in i think we have been our own worst enemy, guilty of sloppy mistakes that have cost us points, we seem to have found a way to get points recently, ugly as it may be, on the whole we are doing ok and survival is crucial however it's achieved.

I am happy. I was worried we would look like a League 1 team in championship but nearly every single game we have looked like equals or even better.

CCFC are back!

We belong in this league. Some of the earlier performances deserved better results, but we look like we've addressed some issues, and we have a friendlier schedule up to the New Year. Hopefully, we can put some daylight between ourselves and the relegation zone.

Our home record is looking pretty good at the minute, we just need to pick up some more points on the road. With Wycombe, Sheffield Wednesday and PNE (who's home record is bad atm), you'd think we due our first away win of the season before the New Year.

Very much hoping I can go to this game as my work mate who supports them has a spare ST. Would love another 4-1, but this will be a tough game. Wycombe seem to have settled a bit into this league and become a more resolute outfit.

Yes though a shocking first goal conceded with an OG at the end also. There will be chances for sure
