A long season ahead and by no means getting carried away but all the little bits of fortune possible feel like they are falling into place. Bolton have got their act together just after we thumped them and so everyone else will play a much harder Bolton side who will take points off them. Coventry, one of the teams I expected to be up there, have to play all their games away from home. I know it's not slowed them down yet, but in the cold months when fans won't be so inclined to travel ….. Lincoln have so much momentum and it's hard to imagine them appointing anyone on their budget who can get close to what the Cowley's would have brought to them this season. Sunderland's takeover won't have any real teeth because of the League One rules and at best, they'll have a bit of budget January. Oxford and Pompey have had abysmal starts that put them well behind us. Peterborough have only just got their act together after we played them. It's nice to have a few things go for us for once as usually it feels like everyone else around us gets breaks. | |

In the Championship Evans did not provide a competitive budget (statement of fact, not a criticism) and MM set up to counter the opposition. This was effective for survival but boring. Now we are in league one with a ridiculous squad and a big budget for this league. Evans was sensible with the ticket prices and the fans have rallied around a bit of love from Lambert and Blue Action. Long story short, when you maximise the favourable conditions more starts going right and it feels like luck. The likes of Coventry's stadium situation and Peterborough not firing when we played them are minor factors really. We should not fear anyone in this division. | |

And everything was so negative about us last year, inside and outside the club. The media constantly mentioning our drop and MM's departing shot...have they mentioned him this year? It was like the hangover of a bad relationship meets unemployment meets depression. This year, it's like we're on a lads holiday and the rest of the competition looks like Wurzel Gummidge. | |

If we stop getting long term injuries, then I might think we are getting better luck, although I'm not convinced that our poor injury record was just down to bad luck. | |

General feel good factor. Make no mistake though. Sunderland will spend big when that is complete. They will make some quality additions in Jan. The bigger impact for them will be next season but they will be right up there. Prem in next 5-6 years i think. Huge fan base and potentially owners with total worth of 73bn and big names at that. They won't mess about. | |

He did, for some reason I wrongly associated the goal we conceded against Sunderland to the Peterborough game | |
