Best start we’ve had since we last went up, but one home defeat and people are already twitching. 3rd after five games with the new 3rd–8th play-offs is actually a decent spot. Stéphan keeps saying we have to kill games. We didn’t against Boro and we nearly didn’t against Cardiff. That’s the bit that still looks Championship. We’ve finished 15th two seasons running. A good September doesn’t wipe that out. January will tell us more than September. If we don’t add a proper goal threat then, this is just another decent start. New play-off format helps us more than it helps the usual mid-table clubs — as long as we don’t fall to 9th.
Incredibly was it three or four seasons ago, Mick Beale's team were top after 16 games. Quite incredible how that very average squad got that position after that amount of games.
But yes our squad is way better than that team.
Hopefully though we dont get decimated by injuries again. Think that could be the key factor into whether we succeed or not.
