Long way to go Grendel but of course everyones prediction was based before the start and the catastrophic disaster we faced, and are still facing getting up to speed and with more games at home. What has it been 7 away 2 at home? And the 11th hour injury to our best player don't forget.
But the difference in you and I grendel is positivity. I still think given a decent run, players hitting form we will be challenging for a top 6 place or very close to it. I guess you have us relegated already.

I don’t even think anybody could consider me as negative to say it, but this is absolutely mental. Challenging top 6.

I understand the doom and gloom at the moment, but it IS only October.

Long way to go yet.

Top 6 is usually around 75 points. We have 7 from 10 games. So we would need 68 points from 36 games, thats 1.9 ppg, thats pretty much automatic promotion form. There's being positive and there's delusional. We only got 64 points from 46 games last season.

We already require over a point a game to make the magic 50. The embarrassment of being bottom in a league containing crap like Hull and Rotherham is also guaranteed to carry on for a few weeks at least

As with any season you have to avoid relegation first and then hope there is lots of games left to kick on up the league.

Early days at moment and I still think we can turn it around after the infortunate start.

Its a tough league and there are no easy games. But haven't seen a team yet (apart from maybe Norwich) where I thought we couldnt get points off them.

It looks like may do down. But I’ll be optimistic and say 21st. We need Rotherham, Wigan and Blackpool to go on bad runs and I think that may happen. I thought so at the time but I think last season was a missed opportunity. With additional investment in the playing squad last January we could have made the play offs and then who knows? But our owners are unable/not willing to take that chance and as Robins stated repeatedly towards the end of last season ‘we are what we are’, that being I suspect a bottom six Championship club.

Looks a very even league and I suspect the top 6 will be attainable for clubs competing with a slightly lower points total than most years. We need to focus on now and start winning games home and away, fast.

I'm updating mine : 17 at best.
We are averaging less than a point a game. Give us one point per game in hand (which would be an improvement) and we are still in the bottom 3 .
Games in hand are of no use if you are not likely to win them.
I don't see us getting out of the relegation positions until Xmas at best. Hope I'm wrong.

Yep, if we don't get down this season, then we will in the next few years if we continue going as we are now.

Yup. All we can do is take one season at a time at moment and do our best to stay up each year, in the hope some daft, rich bloke will take a wild punt and buy us.

Well, 16 is comprised of the integers 1 and 6.

Subtract 1 from 6 and you get 5.

Basic numerology.

You just need to be able to decipher the codes @Sky Blue Pete uses.
