There were 2 teams on 19pts. City had 8 points and had a -3 GD
And none of them had scored as many goals as our +20 GD then eitherThere were 2 teams on 19pts. City had 8 points and had a -3 GD
Pretty sure we’ve scored more goals away from home than anyone else has managed in total. 16 away goals vs the 15 total of Bristol City.We’ve scored more goals in Sheffield than both Sheffield teams combined.
And those too went on to either get promoted or make playoffs finalThere were 2 teams on 19pts. City had 8 points and had a -3 GD
Of course we're going to have harder times during the season. Our hardest moments so far have been a battling 0-0 away to Leicester and Norwich time wasting and getting yellow cards from the 1st half onwards.We are doing incredibly but neither of those teams finished in the top two. Sooo long to go and teams like Ipswich and Southampton will probably click sooner or later. Going to be ups and downs along the way but we are doing so much right. Sunderland rode their luck and went up hopefully we don't have to do the same.
My takeaway from this is take nothing for granted & that Leicester are still the team to watch.There were 2 teams on 19pts. City had 8 points and had a -3 GD
Being 12 points clear of the normal teams is an impressive feat... and it's reflected in our start... we look much clear of the average level.Since frank arrived View attachment 46439
Wow 12 point clear of the next best team - that's insane.Being 12 points clear of the normal teams is an impressive feat... and it's reflected in our start... we look much clear of the average level.
Did Burnley really not lose a game from November to The season end?!Since frank arrived View attachment 46439
Just looked , no they never lost another gameDid Burnley really not lose a game from November to The season end?!
only conceded 10 goals in 29 games - also insane.Did Burnley really not lose a game from November to The season end?!
That is absolutely crazyJust looked , no they never lost another game
Weve played 3 of the top 8 , and scored 11People are saying we’ve had easy fixtures but it’s the easy ones we struggled with last season.
Also insane that they did not finish top!!!only conceded 10 goals in 29 games - also insane.
I've done another thread comparing goals with the top 3 in championship seasons. All over 100 goals in a season. The 2nd highest was Fulham in 2021/22. After rounds 13, they were on 26points with 29F:14A goals. By the end of October (round 13), what we need to do to equal that is 7 points and 2 goals from 4 games. 2 1-0W. 1 0-0D. 1L. That will surely keep us top, possibly pulling away, and keep us in touch with the 2nd highest goal tally in championship history. I also think 2 wins, a draw, and a loss is achievable. Sure, I'd love to say let's win them all. But let's be realistic also.Of course we're going to have harder times during the season.

But as long as we continue to play the same system we will finish at or near the top. If you would have told me we would lose Rudoni, Torp and EMC to injury and then lose Eccles but still win 3 on the bounce scoring 12 goals without reply I'd have told you to calm down with your expectations
October is an easier month. We've have a great chance of pulling away from the rest of the other clubs. Just 3 games ago we were 6 points behind Middlesbrough. Now we're a point above them with a laughable GD of +14 between us. If everything goes against us in the next lot of games we will still be in 2nd.
What you can also add to this list is how easily we have beat teams and what they have done afterwards. This week we beat Millwall at their place 4-0. In their next game they beat WBA 3-0. We swept QPR away 7-1. They've only lost 1 more game and are in 6th having got their GD back to just -1.I've done another thread comparing goals with the top 3 in championship seasons.

That's been the most impressive aspect of the season . Players coming in have fitted straight into the team and there have been significant contributions from all over the squad.What you can also add to this list is how easily we have beat teams and what they have done afterwards. This week we beat Millwall at their place 4-0. In their next game they beat WBA 3-0. We swept QPR away 7-1. They've only lost 1 more game and are in 6th having got their GD back to just -1.
My confidence doesn't just come from the results. Results can easily change. To me mainly it's our style of play and still being able to play the same way and continue to get the results as the injuries continue to come in. If you told me we would lose Rudoni, Torp and EMC to injury I wouldn't expect our results to improve. The players coming in have all done well. Eccles and Allen were supposed to be weaker links. They both stepped up immediately. Woolfenden and KKH had to wait for game time but immediately showed their value to us. We've swapped half our outfield players yet continued to score goals.
Only 6 teams have scored more goals than we have this weekPretty sure we’ve scored more goals away from home than anyone else has managed in total. 16 away goals vs the 15 total of Bristol City.
Not only that but if we had lost to Leicester and QPR they would both be on 18 points now. Millwall would be one behind on 17 if they had beaten us.Weve played 3 of the top 8 , and scored 11
2 of those are in the playoff spots
Equally had Norwich not defied the laws of physics we’d be 5 points clear of third alreadyNot only that but if we had lost to Leicester and QPR they would both be on 18 points now. Millwall would be one behind on 17 if they had beaten us.
