We are currently on track to score 126 league goals this season (127 if you round the half goal up rather than down).

Which would smash the Championship record.
Personally don't see us doing that which is why I'm really pleased with the clean sheets because Im sure they'll be games where we sneak through by the odd goal.

That was an unbelievable result, Millwall looked the better side for a long period in the second half but we defended well and our attacking intensity is frightening. Hopefully Torp’s injury isn’t too serious.

When we’re on it we look absolutely rampant. I’d hate to play against us. Physical, move the ball quick, flood the box. Lovely stuff.

Weird game but if u give us a chance its normally such a good one we cant miss. Lots to be positive about but we are opening teams up and nobody yet has looked like without luck they can stop us.

So many good performances and players that are improving all the time. I still see improvement with certain positions and depth but its getting to look very good.

That was a cracking result! To a man everyone played v well! 4-0 is a flattering scoreline because Millwall caused us some problems

Shout out to Rushworth who made 2 top saves! He’s starting to show his class now. Kudos to Aled Williams!

Year, it's silly to think we will score 127 goals this season. 127 is the amount our goal difference will be positive.

Honestly I didn't even think we played that well. I remember watching the first half against Oxford and we looked unbelievable, but today I really didn't see it. It makes a statement not playing our best football, having two of our best players injured and scoring four goals away. I think we have an excited season ahead...

Crazy how pessimistic and glass half empty I can be about football, I still watch us and think we look at bit shaky and not great at times, but we're scoring for fun and battering teams.

The second goal was one of the best team goals we’ll score all season.

1st and 4th goals were good counterattacking moves. Kessler-Hayden looked fantastic on the ball!

You're taking this rather personally....

regardless of how its ended up tonight, on paper a draw today (coupled with a win at Sheffield Wednesday) looked very decent. Considering how tough it often is at Millwall, and they beat us a couple of weeks ago (appreciate that is slightly irrelevant).
Click to expand...
Not taking it personally, just had some banter with some of our own fans who said that a point tonight would be a good result.

I suggested that we would batter them, as they are nothing more that "mid table fodder" and we should have more belief in our own team and what Lampard is doing here.

So obviously I couldnt let the piss easy win go without rubbing it in a little.

Only banter, onwards to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

BELIEVE.

You say that, the fourth goal at Derby was perhaps even better

Even though I've spent all day saying don't get carried away I think you have to be honest that if showed the league table to someone neutral because of the GD they prob say we are likely to overtake Boro wouldn't they?

The first half v Oxford was one of the most dominant performances from Cov I’ve seen in recent years. Should have scored 4-5 goals.

BTA deserves a big shout out and I’d seriously consider keeping him as a starting winger.

We lucked out that someone didn’t pay the price in the summer. 5 assists already. Prem clubs dropped another bollock like they did with Vik and Hamer. Doug’s done it again by holding on and I’d imagine if we keep this up and he stays fit, if he does go it will be for big money
