    I just try keep a bit somewhat level headed, it's a long season, we'll lose games we should win and win when we aren't great.
    As I've said previously our fanbase is very Dr Jekyell and Mr Hyde.
    Still very much a work in process and Clarke probably needs another couple of windows to get us where we'd ideally like to be.

    Still very much thought it would be a season of transition and we'd finish somewhere between 7th - 12th, we haven't played any of the big hitters as such yet, be interesting to see how we'd get on.

    A good start that should have been a bit better. I think the big hitters will cancel each other out and it's more open than what we think. Yes I agree the defence is still a problem and most of us would have a different solution, I favour 4 at the back with Robbo on the right side not the left. My pre season guess was mid table but now I think play off's are a good possibility.

    I saw a thread on Saturday with Birmingham fans asking who would be the first team to beat them. And the answer is that they could lose any of the next five games, or win them all. Too many teams are of a similar standard and capable of picking up points - we appear to be better at it than most of our rivals, but we will outplay teams and lose, and be under the cosh for 90 minutes and win. C'est la vie.

    I'm of the same opinion as last season we won't finish lower than 12th there's some proper dross in this league. The exact position between 12th and upwards I haven't got a clue.

    Opta are currently predicting us to finish on 74 points with just under a 60% probability of us finishing between 2nd and 7th.

    There’s probably 10 teams who if they won the league this year you’d not be suprised, a can’t work out if league 1 is getting better or there’s just more poorer teams in it and we’re one of them……..

    I think your right but maybe the fanbase expecting at top six finish. The current top six add in Peterborough,Rotherham, Bolton could you add in Blackpool,Stockport Lincoln Bristol have spent a bit Wycombe maybe. The rest you would think the rest are fighting relegation all in all a very competitive league 1.

    Looking at it is making me smile! I'll be even happier if we've moved up a place by the end of the season, I've had enough of league 1 now!

    We cannot afford transitional seasons because we need the added riches that come with playing in the league above. Having a transitional season would mean finishing worse than any season since being back we this level. Other clubs wouldn't allow it either because soon as we transitioned someone to the standard we wanted, the vultures would be swooping in with a bid and then we have to start again anyway.
