Feeling loved up, how blessed are we?

[KT17]

With such a strong squad...

With such a talented, understated, beloved manager...

With great players about to come home from injury...

Being top of the table...

Scoring goals...

Feeling (I feel) so much more hope now actually than any time last season...

After decades of hurt, bloody hell, it's good to be supporting this club just now...

Just wanted to say it

Bloody love it

There

You didn't have more hope before the Middlesbrough game? We only had to win one game to get promoted. While the other things you say are true, there's a bloody long way to go and some other good sides too.

No, you're right, I didn't Trig and if you look at my last seasons posts I never felt we'd do it last time... though last season was a lovely surprise after Sami's season. But honestly Trig I feel there's something in this season for us... and it feels sooo good!

 

[Pavilionaire]

I agree with the OP. After their pasting tonight vs the Toon there's every chance we could bag all three points vs Reading on Saturday. The squad looks united.

I wasn't particularly confident, as I knew the odds were against us winning at Middlesbrough, but I know the odds of promotion are longer now.

I don't even want to think about promotion this year. So much is down to luck, I'd just rather enjoy the games for what they are.

I don't disagree with any of that Trig. For me though last season my sensation was of doomed hope, this year it is positivity and unlimited horizons...

That's all

Not sure about that - we are 2s for promotion at the moment - I'd imagine we were longer odds to win at Boro - but perhaps about the same overall due to the play off additional chance.

I'm feeling like this too. I put it down to new season optimism mixed with the lack of a set back so far. I'm sure there will be a defeat coming our way soon which will bring back the feeling of doomed hope that I'm far more accustomed too.

Al this and other results going our way so soon, it's an omen I tell thee.

Or a packet of Funny Fags!

That said, it's great to have made a decent start, and let's hope we can turn last years away draws into wins.

 

[Stat Brother]

I know all of that is true.
I agree with every word.

And yet right now, for whatever reason, I'm just not feeling it.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Won two league games one against a poor notts side and Rothers! Its a great start but a start is all it is!

Indeed - sterner tests to come but I don't begrudge a smidgeon of early season optimism!

I am with you, the way we are playing now.... Bring on anyone!

I agree that the results aren't all that different from last season with the fixtures so far, but I do feel we are playing much better. Last year, against Derby in particular I did not think we were going to come away with anything. We scored very much against the run (to be fair we were set up like that)m but we were lucky not to be chasing that game. This year we were far better.

I don't remember being this excited about the start to a season, no matter what the end result I think it's going to be a good one.

We were about evens for promotion.

I agree it's best not to fixate on promotion, and take the games as they come.

But it's pleasant to reflect on the fact we have a stronger squad this year, with a proven goalscorer up front, and cover in almost every position. And we've already knocked up two 3-0 wins, which we just didn't seem capable of for the first half of last season. Nobody has scored against us. We're top of the league, which means nothing after three games, but it's still bloody nice looking at that table.

Sure, it may all look very different after another three games. And at the end of the season. But I'm going to enjoy this little moment.
