Would I liked to have won the game on Saturday? of course I would but the difference between this season and last is we probably would have lost that game. For me there are lots of positives so far - we have shown quite consistent form both home and away, have not given up in any matches and although some players have not performed every week at least they have tried and worked hard.
I do see improvement and lets not forget we are quite a young side with new players bought into the side still needing time to settle in. Do I think we are a top six team? no but we are not, in my opinion, not that far away and with a bit of luck and a couple of additions we could spring a surprise.
We have been very unlucky with players getting long term injuries which have not helped but to be fair the other players bought in have not done that badly.
So my Christmas wish list:-
I really wish the Caulker worked his socks off to get fit, in the right frame of mind and knock on the managers door and say - look you have stuck by me so I am going to repay you by playing the best I can to help you and the team during these weeks where we have so many injuries in my position. (ok that is a long shot).
I really wish we sign a right back - oh how we need a consistent player in this position.
I really, really wish and hope we do not sign anymore wide midfield players - although I think the two new lads will do ok.
Finally - I really, really, really wish we sign a forward who scores goals.

I hope we manage to keep going, pick up a few points, keep confidence up and fans don't get too negative, so the promising start doesn't implode as it has done in previous seasons.

I wish people would stop talking about Christmas in September FFS
But I get your sentiment
I'd just like us to keep this amazingly sensible approach going and for some luck on injuries to combine with some luck on the field (blocked shots on the line that defenders know nothing about, crossbar in last seconds, ball out of play at Boro etc).
If they can dig up a Scowen equivalent at RB and Striker then it'll be Christmas and Birthday combined
Seasons Greetings
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

anybody starting Christmas related threads in September, be taken out and shot

Our squad is huge, unless we can offload 10 players then I'd just like to see us make do with with what we have. Right back? well lets rotate Furlong and Kakay and make players out of them. Striker? Lets give Sylla an actual run in the team, maybe RGC and Eze will get a go in the new year and surprise us.
I really feel the quality of players that people want us to buy are not available for the money we have. Lets face it, Burton aside we are good enough to stay up this season so no worries and I think we know that.

We are only in September so talk of staying up easily is a bit premature. We will need to average a point every game to get to 49 and we needed 53 last season to be safe.
We do seem to have a large squad but someone said we have used 25 players already and it is a 46 game season. I would like to have seen a few more go out on loan though. Goss seems to be wasting his time with the odd u21 appearance and there are probably a few more like that as well.
I think it's still a bit early to judge what we may need in January. We did seem to be willing to spend a limited sum on a striker but kept getting priced out. Maybe Penrice or someone will spot a gem somewhere and we will be luckier in the dealing.
