Fundamentals are one thing but things just feel off at the moment. Remembering the 'dark times'.


The dark times were when we had an owner that had no interest in putting money in, and we had to watch the club slowly slide down the table into irrelevance. Our owners are still piling in money, we’ve got an exciting young manager who just got us back to back promotions. We have a young, exciting squad full of proven championship players and we are likely to be adding a few more signings in the next week.

This is about as far from the dark times as we could possibly be. Absolute worst case we spend another season in the championship building the squad strength and cohesion, while bringing through some younger players, before going up again. Worked out well for Leeds!

I think that the term you are grasping for is tell and not clue.

Regardless of your sleuthing, it would be a brave man to take a bet on 'us' as the outright winners on current evidence. This was simply my line of interrogation. Am I wrong? Do things not risk descending into farce at this point?

Perhaps try and put aside getting triggered by someone with a new account having an initial post on the more negative side of things and subsequently hurling insults based on Norwich City. It's such a weak and somewhat predictable response. Itself quite farcical.

Hopefully this...

But who here actually thinks 'we' are going to win the Championship this year given the current situation?

In your informed opinion is it or is it not a farce that we are favourites this season? I am guessing you are thinking no then?

Farcical? No. The bookies don't have the emotional investment and will see our financial stock, manager, squad depth (yes, I know) and despite the slow start, will expect us to click at some point. We, on the other hand, are hoping to god we do because it all looks a bit disjointed currently. Three or four weeks time could look completely different and it really should do too.

If not farcical then improbable as things stand. Let's just hope that things can gel. On current evidence I cannot see this happening but we just have to keep hoping. Thanks for the reassurance.

If the clubs at the top were different, I'd be more worried. I certainly am not expecting Stoke to be top in six weeks time, ditto Boro though they have underperformed for seasons now.

Saints have had a sticky start, Leicester have won 2 but they have a points deduction coming (I presume), Sheff U have been a car crash, Brum fair enough.

We're not alone in looking undercooked at the moment. Leeds had a slow start that allowed us to forge ahead of them in 23/24 and coupled with their crapping the bed at QPR, cost them ultimately.

Early days, but 95+ points for top two this year may not be the required total.

Before the start of the season, it was 1. Saints, 2. Town. I'm tentatively sticking with that for now. Coventry are concerning me a bit with their goal output.
