How can we NOT get promoted?

[MJsGhost]

Shhhhh. Shut up already. Talk about counting your chickens. Yes we have a good chance of going up but if we're still top in April THEN you can start getting out the champers.

Emphatically THIS

I'm going to remember Charlton and yesterday for many, many years no matter what happens this season, so let's just be glad for what we've got rather than greedy for what we may yet have, shall we?

Word.

As Kalimantan says, Leeds were on an unprcedented 33 points after 14 games last year and got over the line in second. 31 is a great start no doubt about it - but what is more interesting at this stage for me is that the chasing pack haven't really got to grips with a run. Look at last season - Charlton, MK Dons and Colchester tucked in nicely behind. Norwich just starting their push (on 22 points you note - so ANY of that pack behind us could "do a Norwich" and they won at a canter).

So who is coming out of the pack? (Last six games):

Albion - 4-2-0 (Top of the home form table, 2nd in away form table)
Hudderfield - 3-0-3
Colchester - 2-3-1
Bmuff - 2-2-2
Pboro - 2-0-4 (so puts that win in perspective a bit)
Charlton - 3-1-2
Wednesday 3-2-1
Southampton 4-1-1 (second in the form table behind us)

So, no one in the pack showing any signs of making a concerted push up the table apart from Southampton at this stage.

I think this is reassuring. No teams really holding on to our coat tails at this stage and few of them showing signs of consistency.

Way, way too early to talk about promotion, but that doesn't mean it has been virtually a dream start.

Seagulls!

Apart from anything else I think people are under estimating the step up that the Championship is.
