This defeat may be a good thing as it will bring unrealistic expectations down. Gus said we will do well to sneak a play off play and that is right. We have imo no chance of being in the top 2 come the end of the season. Teams like West Ham, Leicester and I hate to say it Southampton will be the contenders for the title. I would be more than happy with 6th place come May and even a consolidation season in mid table would be fine at this stage. The Premiership is a 3 year plan.
We are nowhere near ready for the Prem just yet-we are still learning how to cope in The Championship. I've enjoyed the start to the season but have always thought that we are unlikely to be anywhere near the top 2 at the end of the season. I hope I'm wrong though and we enjoy another promotion.
