You might not be far off with that tbf. I assume the top 1 is in order though?

In no particular order
Coventry
Ipswich
Birmingham
Middlesbrough
Southampton
Watford
Absokutely but i would still take 2nd right nowYou might not be far off with that tbf. I assume the top 1 is in order though?
Nah they need to stay down here so we can see the absurdity of a championship team building a 62,000 seaterIn some ways I’d like to see Birmingham get promoted with us this season to see the @TomRad85 meltdown.
We appreciate the glazing, you can stay.Aside from yourselves i think the inconsistency of the teams in the play offs is playing right into the hands of Ipswich and Southampton and maybe even Leicester. All three had poor starts but are unbeaten in the last three.
9 points separates second to 16th. One of Southampton or Ipswich takes second behind you for me, with the other falling into the play offs. Other than that its open as hell
Nah. Let’s both fend off the parachute wankers from the top 2.Aside from yourselves i think the inconsistency of the teams in the play offs is playing right into the hands of Ipswich and Southampton and maybe even Leicester. All three had poor starts but are unbeaten in the last three.

I agree that the relegated teams will finish in the playoffs.Aside from yourselves i think the inconsistency of the teams in the play offs is playing right into the hands of Ipswich and Southampton and maybe even Leicester. All three had poor starts but are unbeaten in the last three.

That’s the dream2 years time, we may well be one of them

It is really strange. Armstrong was brilliant when Southampton went up. Not good enough in the Prem, awful on loan at West Brom but finding his form again in the Championship. They tried to sell him in the Summer.Inept as Charlton were that first half by Southampton is a must watch. No exageration they could have had 9/10.
Southampton have left themselves a mountain to climb. Their Xg always suggested a huge turn around and underperformance.
Im actually tempted to put on Adam Armstring to be top goalscorer..think he will be top scorer in the league by about 10 goals
My predicted table.
1)Cov
2)Ipswich/Birmingham/Southampton
Almighty scramble for play offs the kind we havnt seen before.
Come back 31st Jan and pose the same question it’s far too earlyWho are they? Not getting carried away but stats suggest we are a real contender for an automatic spot. So who are we up against?
For me there obviously loads of teams in playoff contention but not many you wold expect to be fighting for top 2. Normally 3-4 max in that race.
Obviously we can only go on 9 games so far but for me:
Boro - top 2 contender
Leicester top 2 contender
Preston playoffs max
Stoke top 2 contender
QPR great run but I think playoffs only
West brom good team but playoffs
Birmingham playoffs max
Wrexham playoffs max
Swansea playoffs max
Sheff utd autos gone. Big run maybe playoffs
Southampton top 2 contebder
Ipswich top 2 contender
Millwall playoffs max
Watford playoffs max
Bristol city playoffs max despite good few years
So that leaves us with
Cov
Boro
Stoke
Leicester
Ipswich
Southampton
As top 2 contenders in my humble opinion.
Leicester possible points decision and reliance on wingers?
Ipswich and soton started slow and if we keep winning it puts pressure on them to break out on a run sooner rather than later
Stoke Boro are outsiders(like us) but I think we look better than them
I'm not saying we will definitely win the league but......we have a chance and I'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about it.
There is little or doubt.Come back 31st Jan and pose the same question it’s far too early
I was thinking about this earlier. I really wouldnt mind him back here if we sold Haji ( I know his wages would be a no go). Then again, that would only be a January deal. If we go up, I'd want a younger prospect.It is really strange. Armstrong was brilliant when Southampton went up. Not good enough in the Prem, awful on loan at West Brom but finding his form again in the Championship. They tried to sell him in the Summer.
In relation to ourselves, I don’t think it’s too early to say we’re going to fighting for automation promotion this season.Come back 31st Jan and pose the same question it’s far too early

It was obvious Southampton and Ipswich will be on the charge.#rivalswatch
1st Coventry WON 40pts

2nd Stoke WON 30pts

Middlesbrough LOST 30pts
Ipswich WON 27 pts
Southampton WON 24 pts
Leicester LOST 24pts
10pt gap to second
10pt gap to 3rd
2/5 lost including the team closest to us in a 6 pointer. Take that
Ipswich and Southampton are coming on strong but we have a big points buffer and still in amazing form ourselves.
Leicester now seem most likely to be deleted from the race. I can't wait . 18pts behind us feels like a good time to remove a club from the list? What people think? Maybe round it up to 20?
Southampton are 19 behind us?#rivalswatch
1st Coventry WON 43pts

2nd Middlesbrough WON 33pts

4/5 lost !!! Nearly perfect till Boro comeback
I'll give Millwall a week or two. If they keep it up then I'll add them to the list but I just cannot see them(or anyone really) catching us. Ipswich and soton are the ones that have resources and maybe xmass spending to mount a challenge so I'm glad they both lost. But credit to Millwall and Bristol they may force their way on to the list
I'm happy however to officially eliminate Leicester from the auto rival list though! 19pts(and points deduction )behind us is just too much imo
View attachment 47475
Points deduction tooSouthampton are 19 behind us?
I never thought I'd be sitting here in November 99 percent sure we are now a premier League team! But here I am12 points is massive .. does anybody see us going on a dreadful run ? Unlikely
Will be some fall from this point to fuck it upI never thought I'd be sitting here in November 99 percent sure we are now a premier League team! But here I am
If we lost 4 inab row we would still be top two even if rivals won every gameWill be some fall from this point to fuck it up
