bovril Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 23 points. Not bad at all. About 10 more than I thought we would have at this point in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 Keep that kind of form going (which we won't - none of the top clubs will) we'll have 100+ points by the season end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambridgefox Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 2pts better off than last year after 10, and that after our 1st 5 match win run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 We've got a conceding goals habit that I wish we could shake We've got a winning habit that I'm loving Up the Citeh!!!! #pearsonout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADK Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 Can't really expect any more. The only word of caution would be that I don't think we've played any of the best teams yet. QPR, Watford, Forest, Reading, Burnley all look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsell1976 Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 In all fairness pre season I didn't believe we would make this good a start to the season, I thought we would hang around 6 th place and have a late push second half of the season. Dream start, didn't have much hope of top two, with the premier league sides that were relegated, but live in hope now, still think it will be the playoff lottery again, but have enjoyed the start and long may it continue. Well done Pearson and the players, nearly a quarter of the job done, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 We haven't had that difficult a start to this season at all besides teams like Leeds and Wigan, and arguably Blackburn. Not downplaying our success so far at all but I never understood those who said our start looked difficult. With Barnsley, Yeovil, Doncaster, Bournemouth and Huddersfield, we're currently in the weakest looking set of fixtures in the league (on paper atleast) Predicting we'd only have had 13pts at this stage is very negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisNedry Posted 1 October 2013 Share Posted 1 October 2013 I have no doubt that Burnley will drop off, probably to around 10th by the end of the season. They don't have the quality in depth to maintain a promotion push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Nov & Dec we play the likes of Watford, Forest, Reading & QPR... practically in a row. It's a key time of the season for us that's for sure & will provide us with the best insight of where we are In the meantime it's vital we clock up wins, which we are doing - By comparison Forest have only won two games in their last seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for A S season but I will be honest and say I thought Pearson would have a rocky start and be under pressure or sacked by now.Very, very happy to be wrong, and I will stand by my comments about the manager last season, as I believe my points were both valid and constructive, but I am pleasantly surprised by the transformation this season, especially with Pearsons all round management, and really hope him and the lads can maintain this. I fell into the category of a hater last season, but I will always critise when it's warranted, and praise when it's deserved, and this season Pearson and the boys deserve a lot of praise so far. Again long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't even a serious comment by me, trying to humour him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's us, then we will have to really outdo our run last year to fook it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again long may it continue. Good,for you and well done. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. But it is so nice to see that you are a reasoned person who can adapt your opinion. I hope more do the same,by giving credit where credit is due. The other thing I would like to mention is the league is already starting to split between contenders and everyone else. The top 7 teams have pulled away from the others and the top 4 have a decent break on 5 and below. This could be a crucial buffer going further into the season. I know it is early on but non the less we do have that buffer created by our good performances to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
