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.

Derby cunts as well ain't they? Still bitter about FL ditching them before.

[Otis]

We went down the year i left school and i'm now fucking 40. Can we just get this done now please, its well overdue.

When we went down, I felt like I was 90. This is now 24 years on, so technically, I am 114.

And I still do my own shopping!!!

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

And suspensions. Like say, one key player injured, his cover, suspended.

If say, Wright got injured and Asante got sent off and was suspended for three games, that could hurt us. .

Or if Thomas got injured and Kitching suspended for three games etc.

Grimes and Torp

 

[Bugsy]

Apologies if this has been posted didn't know where else to put it...PUSB

What a stat.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

just had a gander:

'If Marti goes it will 100% be Martin as his replacement.'

Russell Martin Ball vs our press at The CBS... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Russell Martin to Norwich possible looking at the Nodge forum (along with a honking take that Gary O'Neil turned down Wolves cos he knew the Norwich job was about to become available). Absolutely batshit that Manning has been doomed for weeks but they haven't had a replacement lined up. Some serious tutting going on in these parts.

BTA, Saka & Rudi versus a Russell Martin AAATB set up at Carrow Road? With a Patrick Bamford banter goal thrown in at the end? Please god.

I wouldn't bother listening to those pair of geeks.

Literally an abysmal podcast and they just engagement farm on their socials.

From what I've heard of Second Tier, it's pretty poor. The hosts are irritating as well.

I like Benjamin Bloom on YouTube. Seems likeable and usually has a balanced view.

Yeah Bloom is my go to. Very balanced and knowledgeable

I usually just skip to the bits about us in most these Championship Youtube shows, but i tend to listen to the entirety of Blooms.

Swansea definitely in Coventry City 2001-2012 territory, it feels inevitable that they'll get relegated in the next couple of years

I thought that about Stoke and looked whats happened since Robins came in. Just takes the right manager most of the time.
