Right now we've played:
5 of the top 6
8 of the top 12
Our next game is against Leeds and Boro, by the time we've played those games I'm sure we will have played all top 6, and 10 of the top 12 in just 14 games.
Thats hard, harder still when you consider the amount of injuries we've had and the lack of minutes the new players have had together.
Neil may be the wrong man, but we will make it self fulfilling if we keep looking for the managers to get the axe. Give him till atleast January, ideally the end of the season.
The news players look better than what we had before and with all the change we've had at the club it would be good to give it a decent chance.

It’s the Championship though bud.
Half of the current top 10 will be in the bottom half by Xmas.

Who have they played? Much better today but can't hide that it's been pretty mediocre season so far.

Irrelevant.
The table is now just only beginning to take shape.
This squad shouldn’t be where it is in the table and that’s a fact.
Every team in this league is beatable, boiling it down to this is defeatist.

This squad if we give it time won't be where it is by the end of the season. Sunderland are 6th and they looked no better than us today.
They scored only as Rose played a short pass because Johnson ran off from him, then Hoever jogged back to get into the box whilst the player he was meant to be marking scored a tap in.
We've played games where We've had two keepers on the bench, and also a couple of 16 yr olds.
How many games have we played with todays front three?

Tough start but clear improvement today, loads stayed clapped them off until every last player was off the pitch.
Burger for me was a great performance

We are only a dominant CB from being a decent side in my opinion.

By points we are now closer to the play offs than the relegation spots.
Probably get battered this weekend, but with the better players back we are winning games we aren't expected to, but would like to.

Tough game at the weekend but then it's a stonking run of fixtures up to the new year. We'll be firm in the Play-Off picture come January.

Every team is beatable- that’s true of any league, not just the Championship.
Whether they are or not, doesn’t alter the fact that teams are playing for 3rd to 6th- Leicester and Ipswich are miles better than everyone else.
The table ( other than those 2) could easily switch totally ( as someone has said) by the end of the season.

Didn't expect those results.
Sunderland caused us problems but Leeds and Boro didn't really. perhaps Rose and Mcnally will now be our oartnership till the end of the year as long as there arent any injuries.
Does AN get credit for winning them and also for rotating the squad whilst doing it?
Next three games are very tough too. Pick up 6+ points and we could be flying.
