Would’ve been nice to be the only unbeaten side in the league, at least we gain 2 points on them

You are quite funny at times.

You spend most of your time moaning about us not signing enough players. But when someone mentions one of the better signings for one of our rivals you say they're not good enough for us.

Just shows how difficult it is to improve our squad without wasting money.

Yes it’s called sarcasm based on people saying it’s hard to sign players because they don’t want to sit on the bench

Just watching the champ highlights.

PNE Vs Bristol City draw meant we stayed 2nd. Dunno how that stayed 0-0 some massive misses. Osmajić with possibly the worse first touch I've ever seen when played in 1on1

7 games out of 12 yesterday were a draw. All teams around us drawing too while we are grabbing 3 points. Fantastic outcome

Don't want to lose our unbeaten record, but if we can secure one win from the next 2 away games, I'll take that. Just want EMC back/available asap, and hope Rudoni's injury doesn't drag on.

Said the same yesterday and then 8 from 12 in the 4 following the international break. All 6 games are winnable, but have to be realistic.

November looks tough, but a very real prospect that we could be heading into it, still unbeaten with around 25 points from 13 games.

Need to be aiming for the 2 points per game mark constantly if we have real ambitions of automatic promotion.

Yep. Can't do it always, but the old adage of win your home games, don't lose away.

I didn't watch the Norwich game yesterday, but the reports I've heard were they defended for their lives again. Were lucky to go 1-0 up and then lucky to come away with a draw! Gonna be an awful watch this season for Norwich fans. A club of that size, parking the bus all season! Bonkers!

I remember thinking September looked tough a month ago but we managed 5 points from 3, and unbeaten.
The way I see November is,
Sheff U - will have to wait and see if they have turned the corner or not, but they didn't look anything special yesterday.
Stoke will be tough but I'm sure the lads will be up for that one.
West Brom at home I'm not too worried about.
Middlesboro away is a tough game but we have a good record against them and they won't keep up this run of results I don't think.
Charlton doing OK but shouldn't give us too much trouble at home.
2 wins and a couple of draws wouldn't be too bad.

December could be just as difficult.

Ipswich A
Preston A
Bristol City H
Southampton A
Swansea H
Ipswich H

Ipswich should have got their act together by December and we have to play them twice. Maybe Will Still will be gone and they bring in someone with the experience needed. Have rarely enjoyed Preston away.

But what we need to remember is we're one of if not THE best side in the Championship. Our opponents will worry more about us than we worry about them.

No, just replying to Rob9872 comments about how tough November looks. October fixtures don't look too bad.

Other than the quick turnaround for the Sheffield Wednesday game there's nothing too difficult next month where we would expect to get a draw at best. Gives us a decent chance of pulling away from the pack before we come to the more difficult last 2 months of the year.

Ill be watching Boro v Stoke. Thinking a draw would be our best outcome? Though if Boro lose and we can at least draw to Millwall, will leave us last team standing. Either outcome would suit me

If its not a draw, id much prefer a Stoke win. I think Stoke are less likely to go the distance so shouldn't be a auto/play-off rival come May. So 3 less points on Boros total wont go a miss. But short term, a draw would be best

Stoke win or draw. Boro winning would be worrying as they will have so much confidence

I'm going to watch a bit of Blues v Wednesday, in the hope that Bannan gets crocked, plus a bit of Blunts v Southampton (hoping it's a draw)

Early injury at Boro, player not ready to come so Edwards tells the player to slow down coming off Lino does nothing
