If I'm being totally honest, I am happy with the way things are going at the present time. We are 10th in the table and ticking along nice and quietly just under the radar. This is helping to keep the pressure away from the players. Yet we are only 4 points off an automatic spot and 1 point outside the play offs.
I don't think any of the teams above us have played tougher fixtures than we have so far, so when they do play each other, a lot will drop points to those in and around them. We now start to play teams below us for the first time. It is imperative we do not do our typical thing and get too complacent against those lower than us, thats when we will lose our way.
Lets face it, the only game we have lost this season was through an offside goal mixed with poor goalkeeping and a very very flukey goal, that I dont actually blame the keeper for as the chances of that going in would've been 100/1 maybe. It will be interesting to see how we fair against West Brom now that our players are all starting to gel, SL is getting his ideas and tactics across, it would appear that our main nucleus of players have now been determined and we now look like a side capable of going on to better things.
But lets all try and keep things in perspective. It is still early in the season and we need to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on our players too soon. If we can do that, then yes! this could very well be our season!!
