well I had Derby , QPR and Wycombe in but now I think Derby will pull away once the money comes in - so Rotherham get the third spot

QPR, Wycombe, Rotherham and I still think Barnsley. Not convinced by Sheffield Wednesday or Forest either

Forest and QPR will be okay I'm sure.

Rotherham and Barnsley might be a good shout though

We ain’t that bad from what I’ve witnessed we have been in with more than a chance to have won atleast three more games. This league in my opinion is very equal bottom end clubs beating top end, plenty of draws and one goal win margins, we obviously need to start putting our good performances into wins, I think we will.

Are we ok on ppg?
If so - Stop the Count....
If not - Finish the Count...

That's how it works, isn't it?

We should worry about ourselves before others

Right now you’d be foolish to say there were obviously three teams worse than us. Other teams around us asking the same question will be happily lumping us in with Wycombe and for good reason.

Far too early to call this. League is only just starting to take shape, and this is a bizarre season anyway so probably need another 10 games before things start coming together.

I actually think we are all being overly negative and we have played a lot of the top teams
We are not a million miles away

by half way we probably need to be on 23 points, and then do slightly better in the 2nd half

so 13 games - we need 15 points which equates to 4 wins and 3 draws - I think we will lose to Watford and norwich so we need to get 4 wins 3 draws and 4 defeats in the games below, which i think we will do

Birmingham H
Cardiff H
Derby A
Rotherham H
Luton H
Wycombe A
Huddersfield H
Sheff Wed A
Stoke H
Preston A
Millwall A

I said last season, I'm not against us becoming a yo-yo club for a few years until we can stabilise at a higher level. Obviously, there are no guarantees when you go down that you'll come back up (as past history shows!), but the principle of it is sound. Keep building, getting better, little by little. That said, I was optimistic we'd compete pre-season. Less so now. I don't think we're one of the three worst clubs, but we're amongst the worst in terms of results thus far, so we must be in with a shout of going down.

I don’t think we’ve been that bad. I know there’s only so many times you can say ‘we should have’ but we really should have a few times this season. We’ve not been a poor side (well, not in every game), we’ve just made some poor mistakes that have cost us dearly.

As pissed off as I was after the Forest game, the positive is that even their fans said they were lucky and we should’ve won. Still think we’ll be ok, we seem to have lost the fear and gained a bit of fight. Now we just need to cut out the silly mistakes.

I’d say throwing points away with stupid mistakes is going to cost us much more.

Disgrace if we can't finish above Wycombe & Rotherham. Then you're looking at Barnsley probably.

Correct although halving the deduction is still bollocks.

I think you will find at least 24 teams in the championship will do that at some point
We found our feet in league 1, and we will in this league

I think we are better than our points suggest. With a couple of exceptions (Blackburn and Bournemouth) we haven’t been outclassed. Not giving 96 min pens will help but we’ll be ok. We are becoming more tactically aware as the season progresses and we’ve got players adapting well to the pace of the league. Keep the faith, trust on Robins and accept that 17th will be a great result this season!

But we’ve had only 10 games in a league which is a massive step up. We’ll be ok.

I don’t think it helps to keep shrugging our shoulders and saying ‘ah well’

QPR and Forest looked poor, Wycombe should go down, Barnsley, Luton and Rotherham should be around the bottom, interested to see how Birmingham look next Friday.

Wouldn’t want to step into a war zone with you guys. Keep the faith, it’s a long season.

Will MR be here and will it come down to the last few games... I’d say so yes

As long as we’re in the mix near the end, these will be six pointers

I think this is a concern niggling at the back of everyone's minds. I know it's early in the season, but you do have to wonder.

Wycombe for sure. I would of said Shef Weds, but not so sure now. Barnsley have started to score goals but I believe they will still go down. No way derby will stay in the relegation places.

It's that last spot that worries me. Other than possibly us, I'm thinking Rotherham or Luton.

It will be an interesting season, hopefully it swings our way.

By on large this league tends to be determined by budget, with the odd exception at ether end, so the three promoted teams, and the two that finished just above the bottom three the season before (us and Luton). Are always in the mix, then you’ve got the teams walking a financial tightrope, Wensdeh, Derby, T’uddersfield, Birmingham, Blackburn & QPR. One of them six could end up with their comeuppance for years of over spending and disregarding financial fair play rules.
