It all feels a bit surreal and a bit too good to be true.

It's brilliant but whisper: it's still very early days.

Remember 1983 home against Liverpool, Gibson hat trick before HT, finished 4-0 and Fagan tipped us for the title. We finished 19th and avoided relegation by one place!

Just seen it all before. Top of the Prem in its first season 92-93 after 3 games, finished 15th. I don't think we'll fade like these seasons but it's very early to be talking automatics.

For me, i think this set of results is most similar to the glorious Christmas/New Year when we beat Liverpool 5-1 and the Villa 3-0.

That Liverpool game came out of nowhere too. I heard it on R5 but the Villa game was a bit special! Blackburn away too and then we went on and sold Gally!

Not even thinking about the table until at least Jan/Feb time as it’s still very hollow. Nice to look at but two bad weeks and it’s totally different.

Agree, very early days.
I don't expect the goal glut to continue at the levels it is currently but the perfirmance levels, clean sheets, work ethic and the fitness levels give me real hope that we can keep ourselves in and around the business end of the table all season.

You just know, you’re so sure? That City’s gonna throw it away, gonna blow it away?

But I know they can play.

I hope so. Not having heart palpitations when we're leading by a single goal and the board goes up for 8 minutes of injury time is definitely good for my health.

Also :
-ranked #1 on the xg table with 22.4 xg (next best Southampton on 15.5 xg)
-ranked #2 on the xga table with 7.5 xga (best Middlesboro on 7.2 xga )

...in fact we're currently slightly underperforming, which is crazy (-2 points).

One day at a time. Right now we’ve got two weeks of loading up the championship table to see us top. I’ll take that for now.

Maybe we’ll be a bit slow to start after the break, another draw v Blackburn then get into gear again, unbeaten to Christmas

It feels different this season. Just looking at the determination of the players, they are hungry for it. The management team are hungry for it. The owner is hungry for it. We are winning games we would have drawn or lost in the past. Not just scraping wins either, but blowing teams out of the water

It'll come down to luck with injuries and whether we have the depth in the winter months.

Selling Gallacher was the last player I was truly gutted about us letting go.*

*and Dublin.

The January transfer window can’t come round soon enough.

I reckon so far we might’ve been a little lucky with our fixture list and how the international break has fallen just in time that some of our players can recover. Our luck will run out at some point.

I believed for years that he'd wanted to go. It was just recently that I heard that he and Strachan had agreed to a new contract only for the board to sell him!

I wonder if he'll move MVE on to raise funds. It would be a great shame with the way he's playing but he might just be tempted to "let it ride on lucky seven" if we're still up there

Yeah me too! I think I heard it on here. Disastrous decision.

Given your name on here…for a long time I maintained that Speedie was the best player we’ve had in my time but Dublin was possibly better. Not that we need to get into that debate for the millionth time. Both v good and different players.

I can’t see it…at least I’d hope not!
If we’re still in with a shout I think it would take some ridiculous bids to shift our top players in January…of which I’d say MVE is definitely one. Retaining MVE is some of the best business we did in the summer I’d say.

If we’re there or thereabouts in January I’d expect King to go all in on a promotion push. Nobody leaves, a few more join and if we don’t make it then sell a fair few in the summer.

The only good thing is that the majority of teams in this league will be in the same boat.

Very true! The parachutes will probably have more money Jan though

They will. Leicester will be desperate for a striker, and it could define their season if they get the right player in.
Though their court case is due to start shortly, (though not sure when it will be concluded), hopefully a points deduction incoming

It'll all come down to cashflow I expect. The way I see it, it was very telling in the summer that we didn't/couldn't get another centre half until somebody, Sheaf in the end, moved on. If the funds were there surely we'd have brought someone in earlier in the summer.
