That's actually mental

Wrexham have spent a lot of money on not a lot of quality

They've absolutely lost their heads. More money than sense clearly.

They know that they desperately need Championship quality players, and selling clubs also know that, so they can demand silly fees.

If a club's desperate, then they'll overpay.

They've got the quality to stay up now, though, so they will say it's worth it.

Birmingham have been very good again. I said top 6 but I'm already changing to top 4.

Think they will rough house the opposition at their place They have some dirty sods - Cochrane, Laird, Stansfield and both centre backs take no prisoners, and Kyogo looks quality. The refs will give them more licence to dish it out at their place, and it will take a strong team to stop them. I am less convinced about them away from home, where some of their 'aggression' will get a mixed response from refs. They look better than I thought they would be.

They do look good, but 90% of their game right now is pressing like unhinged madmen out of possession, which destroys the oppositions chances of doing absolutely anything. If they can keep up those levels for the entire season, then they deserve a playoff shot. But we're 2 games deep. I would be very surprised if they can give that much of themselves every game.

And in turn, they will get "found out" and people will find away to play against them too.

Long old season yet!

I think that they have a reasonable depth to their squad - Doyle, Iwata, the other South Korean lad are all decent. They have cover at centre back (take note, Doug!) and Demari Gray looks a decent addition. They definitely have a top 6 look about them, but really hoping not, as Blues fans will be unbearable. More worryingly, I am not sure who I fancy to definitely finish above them (purely based on the number of home games that I think they may bully their way to 3 points, plus the meh start from the ex-PL teams)

Exactly. They've played a cup final against a relegated PL team and drawn, who then went on to draw to Bromley. Then an out of sorts Sheff Utd who got hammered at home to Bristol City. Lots to be happy and excited about if you're a Birmingham fan and I'd love that Kyogo playing for us, but I see a mid table team once it all settles down, I think.
