Who are our main competitors for the L1 title?

[Comedy Steve]

Bookies will have you believe it is Wednesday/Huddersfield Town/Soton (lol!)

However, looking at Bournemouth's next few games...

Saturday, 30 October 2010
Bournemouth v Colchester, 15:00

Tuesday, 2 November 2010
Brentford v Bournemouth, 19:45

Saturday, 13 November 2010
Bournemouth v Walsall, 15:00

Saturday, 20 November 2010
Leyton Orient v Bournemouth, 15:00

Tuesday, 23 November 2010
Bournemouth v Yeovil, 19:45

So, with the exception of Colchester, they've got 4 very winnable games there. I can see by the end of November, they'll be closest to us.

Hmm. So happy right now, but can't help thinking if that penalty that wasn't a penalty wasn't given, we'd be on 30 right now, they'd be on 21, and that might really be useful come early December.

Either way, this is a league where most people are able to get points off eachother, except points off the Albion. Which is the way it should be.

SEEEEAGULLS!!!!

Feel pretty damn good right now.

"Looking at Bournemouth's next few games..." - What's that got to do with it?

Every team plays every team twice - home and away.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

4 points separates 2nd from 14th. So any of those 13 teams?

 

[itszamora]

There are no competitors

 

[Notters]

Southampton for me, sadly.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

oldham or huddesfield

 

[larus]

It's so packed below us. Southampton are 14th but only 4 points off 2nd place. Still think it's them, Huddersfield, Wednesday and Peterborough.

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

I'm just well happy to be six points clear, but not getting carried away with title aspirations yet... well, trying not to.... SIX POINTS?!?!

 

[the hitman]

Newcastle.

If they take LuaLua back. I think they are team that can stop us from winning the league.

 

[bhaexpress]

Brentford's result against P'boro shows that just about anybody can beat anybody in this league. You can be sure that they'll make a lot more effort against us.

 

[Farehamseagull]

I would say it remains the same as it was at the beginning of the season.

Sheff Wed, Huddersfield, Southampton, Charlton will all be up there.

It will never last for Bournemouth and Peterborough imo

I disagree about Peterborough. I've thought all along they will be up there and definately think they will finish above Charlton. With their strikeforce, and a manager who knows what he is doing, they will be there or thereabouts.

I do think however Bournemouth will fall away before the end of the year and unfortunately fully expect Southampton and Huddersfield to pick up and be up there before too long. Sheffield Wednesday could be a big threat once their financial situation is sorted out.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not seen any, so far. They're all rolling over pretty lamely. Oldham maybe?

 

[Art Vs Science]

Ourselves...............all we need to do is keep playing well and believing, Job Done!

 

[Wozza]

I think it's complacency, Brian.

 

[Rookie]

Soton, if we finish above them we go up.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Newcastle.

If they take LuaLua back. I think they are team that can stop us from winning the league.

Quite. That will be the pivotal moment of our season.

 

[Giraffe]

It has to be Sheff Weds, Southampton, Huddersfield and Peterborough because they all have the resources to compete and will continue to improve as the season goes on. As well as Bournemouth have done I can't see it continuing.

 

[BensGrandad]

I cannot see rhe top 6 being other than us, Southampton, Huddersfield, Peterborough and the remaining 2 places between Charlton, Bournemouth Colchester Swindon and Carlisle all of whom are capable if they put a run together.

Thats about how I see it as well.

They`ll be a joker in the pack though and I thought it might have been Colchester.
