It’s all downhill from Valentines Day IMO. We’ll have played Boro Leicester and Ipswich twice and Southampton away. Depending on how things are shaping up Stoke and WBA later that month too. Last 11 look very winnable TBH. November and December are tough months, so if we’re still in touch with the top New Years Day I’ll start getting very excited.

Teams will take points off each other, we'll win some of these big games and may lose against teams lower down the league, that's the beauty of the Championship. Take each game as it comes and enjoy the ride.

It’s been an unbelievable start, better than anyone could have expected.

I suppose the only caveat you could apply is that we’ve played 6 of the (current) bottom 8.

Obviously you can only beat what’s in front of you, plus we’ve beat 6th place 4-0 away from home. But statistically we have had the second easiest start.

That’s about the only thing you could look at to temper expectations slightly, but it’s been brilliant.

Really important to get that win when we weren’t at our best

What is undeniable is that we have the points on the board. Others have to get them.

I remember reading an article about the dominant Liverpool Team of the late 70's and 80's I think it was either Dalgliesh or Souness stated that there target was to get to 40 points as soon as possible and go from there.

We have done brilliantly so far , when it clicks we are going to give someone a real pasting

We are not going to play fantastic football and blitz teams every week. Good sides find a way to get a result when not at their best. Most teams that have won league titles didn’t play well every week

You’re right, but after 10 games both the results and the underlying stats suggest that we are capable of blitzing teams more often than not. I’ve had to upgrade my expectations for the season in my head, we have a genuine shot at winning the league.
