I think given our lack of spending since MON came in, and the management / squad rotation applied in a very measured way (I’m predicting a Swansea type side on Wednesday), we’re in very good shape so far this season.
We’re picking up the wins we’re expected to get - and the game management so far has been very good. We could surprise a few people this season and are well positioned already. MON is a shrewd guy and he’s clearly got a plan..

MON has got us competitive in most games, with flashes of good play and the occasional forgetful games. I think we are building up to a side that can compete in the top half. We will finish 8 -14th.
As for Watford only changes if injuries and for Reading as after that 2 weeks off for the international break.

FFP straitjacket and some of our best on-paper players crocked or throwing shit fits, so I can't complain too much.

"Quietly going about our business" The thing is, the club is going about its business SO quietly, there is rarely any news or gossip from the club to talk about here on the oatcake these days.  |

8 of our 12 games so far have been against teams in the top half currently.
Can make that 9 on Tuesday.

At the moment we're averaging 1.75 points per game,which if we continue will put us on 80.5 points across 46 games. If we averaged 1.75 points per game last season we would have finished 5th, to put that into context West Brom finished 2nd with 83pts and Forest finished 7th with 70pts.
Now I zero expectations to be pushing for automatic promotion or ever finishing comfortably in the play offs at the end of this season but I'm glad we are being competitive this season. Truth be told I'd be delighted if we finished in the top 10 this season

Two cheap signings, Fletcher and Mikkel, have made a world of difference. The defense is still shaky at both fullback positions; however, we didn’t have any money to spend because of FFP rules and Soutar has been excellent. Only one team has scored more goals than Stoke. So we can’t really complain. It is a hell of a lot better than this time last season.
