Kitchandro Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 Yeah I think you're right there. Didn't West Ham finish third last season? You make a good point. Personally my opinion is that I think this squad and balance we have is good enough for the top 2. I don't think we'll do it mind. Long time to go yet boys! Yeh. Swansea the year before as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 5 October 2012 Share Posted 5 October 2012 I was expecting outside the top 6, but as it stands.I think we're the best team in this league, so no! I have and always had complete faith in Pearson, but thus far he's exceeded my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB11 Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 Why? When we finish mid table and look back at all of the people who were saying that they wouldn't take third, when come end of season 3rd place would have seemed great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eye666 Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 Cardiff to win the league, us to be this years runners up! Not gonna happen - typical Cardiff bottle job on the way. Play-offs at best for them, followed by them choking for the umpteenth time. This year's wide open, so it's there for the taking if we keep playing as we are. Long way to go though.

Jace Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 To be fair we are better than Cardiff, despite where we are we have already had a bad run and already played Blackburn, Wolves, Hull, Blackpool, Huddersfield and Middlesbrough who are competing near the top. I really don't think we are this team anymore who performs against the top teams and not against the lower. We have kept the quality yet gained the consistency I think I underestimated us pre season but none of us really knew how much quality we had in Knockeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 It's fine to be optomistic, but I don't think we should be expecting top two just because of four wins in a row, seems a lot of people are getting carried away. Given the past few years I'd have thought most would be delighted if we finished 3rd and got a chance in the Play-Offs this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 I think top 2 is certainly not out of the question we just need to keep this run going winning our home games and drawing our away games ( we can afford that now after our recent run) and we should be right up their.

cambridgefox Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 Early days but why not,I have been surprised by our little run to be honest,but I feel we have played some of the stronger teams in the league so far and are in 2nd place,which doesn't mean too much at this stage.Saying that if we carry on as we are we will finish with over 90pts.

Simmo86 Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 Lets take it one game at a time yeah? This reminds me of the old 'how many points in this month' threads, which made us look silly. We're capable of promotion this season but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Remember beating the so called 'weaker' teams in the division was our problem last year!

Col city fan Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 I said 7th at the start and will stick with it. I still believe last years relegated sides will got top three. I wouldn't be surprised if Bolton change their manager soon. Coyle has done a disastrous job at Bolton so far. However, as I also said, I'd love to be proven wrong.

I think we look the most balanced and organised squad in the league. Can't see Bolton doing anything but wolves and Blackburn will be up there. Anyway I think we'll finish 4th and have Leeds in the semi final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EverybodyDannsNow Posted 6 October 2012 Share Posted 6 October 2012 I dont think I would, this is a team which is capable of winning the league in my opinion. However, if we lost to Bristol City later then I would probably change my mind, thats how crazy football is nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I think we'll finish 4th and have Leeds in the semi final I've gotta be honest mate, we look much better than I thought we would but it would be wrong of me to change my view so early into the season. If we continue how we are doing I may well have to rethink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
