Season 2019/20 Can We Finally Go Up?

[Paplane]

Well it seems this morning that all sporting radio stations have already decided that the top 2 places in the championship will be contested between only 3 teams and no one else can catch WBA, Leeds and Fulham. Might as well pack up and go home huh lads? I really don’t know if I’m happy that no-one is even talking about us with a chance of going up or actually annoyed that no-one is giving the team the credit they deserve at the moment. Sure, we are not all guns blazing and running round like crazy people at high tempo but what we are is street wise, organised with good game management. We have improved areas of our game where we were lacking. We are also not burning ourselves out early in the season, So many times we have run ourselves into the ground by chasing players and the ball this time we are moving together like chess pieces small movements using less energy and playing the long game.

We may not make top two, we may not go up but right now, to count any team out so early in the season before the madness of the festive period is just a lack of respect in what is the most unpredictable league in Europe.

Good post McForest and I agree with you. Still very early and lots of twists and turns to come yet.

Things can change very quickly in this league, not saying they will but they can.

And equally they can turn bad. Look at Preston, they were flying a few weeks ago and now have suffered 3 defeats on the bounce. They were unlucky last night but keep losing games and your confidence disappears. 

I change my mind on our prospects after every game. IMO we really need a win at Millwall after losing at home on Saturday.
