Is Promotion Still Possible?

[Strawberry Avenger]

Fair enough Duncan. I think in a round about way we are all talking about how can promotion be possible when our 3 biggest summer signings worth over £22M are not playing.

My opinion boils down to the fact there are at least 6 better teams than us in this league. By better I mean in terms of cohesion, consistency and quality. We lack in all of those to be a top 6 team as it stands.

Not disagreeing that there are 6 teams better than us however the best 6 teams won’t necessarily be the top 6 and the best two won’t necessarily be top two. Norwich for example got up there by going on a run where they repeatedly won by one goal (often late) in games where they often created fewer chances than their opponents. The point is now you don’t say they are one of the top two teams but at the time they were lucky. We could be lucky!

Don't get me started on Norwich.  Fortunate to escape with points both times, in my view.

Lucky late bloomers with late goals.

Meh.

Them and Leeds?  Nothing special.

But they've been 'more' consistent...than Forest.  So, it is what it is.

SA.
