How good would this be for a thread come May?

Didn’t expect this at the start of the season.

Ipswich, Sunderland, Doncaster top 3 for me, but we'll see. Playoffs definitely achievable for us

Doncaster are no better than us. We should be pushing for autos and none of this playoff malarkey

Did you? Fair play for your optimism. Still think if we finish anywhere near where we did last season with a push for the playoffs we would have done well. Be interesting to revisit this in May.

I expected us to be mid table this season so I’m surprised and delighted. I must be very pessimistic as we’re sitting top of the league but I still just don’t think of us as autos challengers. If we can make it into the play offs that would be a fantastic achievement

Can’t see us for autos but a decent chance at playoffs. Defensively we are good enough and in a midfield of Kelly, Allen, o’hare (and Walsh covering) we should be as good as any in the league. It’s up front I think we struggle....godden needs better support if we are to be serious challengers.

Will there be an open top bus tour on Monday because we're top of the league in September?

Well, so far we haven't had a game where we haven't scored at least as many as the opposition. Long may that continue.

Think we'll finish between 6th and 10th depending on injuries. A lot of good sides in this league.

Definitely in the mix: Posh, Sunderland, Ipswich, Rotherham,
Contenders: Sky Blues, Fleetwood, Blackpool, Donny and Burton
Outsiders: MK Dons, Pompey

There are some big clubs in there, and some with strong financial backing
We are stronger than last year. so should be contenders, but not favourites. We could nick a top 2 if we keep plodding on the way we are. We have only played Burton and Pompey so far

Just makes the 2 points dropped vs Bolton even more frustrating.

However.... Playyyyy Up Sky Blues

Just back from watching the evening game on the big screen at the local bowling alley. Raucous atmosphere to put it in perspective...

probably need another 54 points for the play offs from 36 games 1.5 points per game
something like 15 wins 9 draws 12 defeats
That is very possible as long as we dont go on a coventry style dip in form

Autos will need us to maintain current form

We have a very tough few games coming up after Wimbledon... I'm guessing we will know Wether we truly will be good enough to be in the mix by the end of November... I'm guessing we will be

Marosi v Burge - Upgrade
Dabo v Stirling - Downgrade
Mcfadz v Willis - Different type of player, marginal upgrade
Hyam - as last year
Mason - Better player than last year, upgrade
Kelly / Walsh - As last year. Better cover for Kelly's not infrequent injuries
Shipley v Bayliss - Different type of player, marginal downgrade
Westbrooke v Bright Downgrade
Godden v Baka - Upgrade
Jobello v Thomas - Downgrade
Hiwula - As last year. O'Hare would be an improvement

Over the whole we are better in 4 and worse in 4 and the same in three. We are stronger in the central spine where it really matters - Marosi, McFadz, Kelly/Walsh and Godden is much better. We were very reliant on the three loans last year.
