I don't really think this is a barometer for our season. Looks like IT will be there or thereabouts this season, so a loss for us would not be the end of the world, but any points from it will be a bonus. We do seem to be pretty solid in defence, so a point would not be surprising. Will be interesting.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Think a point would be a good return for this match. It will be a decent indication of our ability against one of the more favoured teams in the division.

 

[Dan The Man]

Its basically the 'who will win championship manager of the month award' final....

Absolutely not. It's still August. Plenty of teams have been up there in August and faded completely within a couple of months (didn't Forest start really well last season?).

If we're still top six in October, say, it should be a much better indicator that we have what it takes to make a giant leap forward this season.

Pretty sure Millwall had a good start last year too.

You're certainly correct about Forest. They were out of the blocks like a shot.

And faded hilariously.

Yep, any team can string together three or four wins in August when the sun is shining, the opponents were perhaps favourable, & the confidence is high. Hopefully we're capable of sustaining this little run we're on though, wherever that takes us to.

(I'd happily take a point at Ipswich, for what it's worth).

As would I. They'll be very much up there at the end of the season.

Fraser v Bruno will be a great battle.

Both have started the season brilliantly.

Is Fraser the lad on loan from Bournemouth? He's looked very, very good from the odd glimpse that I've seen of him.

Of course, but a win tomorrow and things could feel rather promising. As I said, it's NOT a barometer for the season that some might think it could be.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Season's only just started. At what point did Ipswich become any kind of yardstick for anything?

Good read - well researched (even if much of the information seemed to come from NSC!)
