What is their reasoning?
I can't see how any objective analysis can come to that conclusion.

Of course we might shit the bed, but I can't see how that would be anything other than unexpected.

I assume it’s to do some edgelording and provoke the usual suspects on Twitter for engagement. The underlying data don’t suggest over performance.

Don’t think it’s that mental of a take tbh. I think they are referring more to the short-term than over the season as a whole. The underlying data suggests we’re probably not quite as convincing as early season (which is an almost impossible pace to keep) and we’re heading into a particularly difficult month. Would be amazing if we did get to the turn of the year on 54 points but I ain’t holding my breath.

I've long said we wouldn't maintain the pace of the 1st 12 games, not many teams have maintained that sort of momentum.

But I really struggle to see who can put a run together to overtake us.
When you're top realistically your hardest game is away at 2nd place. Well we overcame that challenge quite comfortably at the weekend.

I appreciate that's quite a simplistic view but I honestly don't think there's too much to worry about in the rest of the division.

Shitting the bed for reasons unknown or a massive injury crisis are the only things I can think of to derail us
