If we go top on Saturday.....

[stephen cartwright]

They have 1 more point than we had after 17 games in our 102 point Championship season. If either they or us carry on at the current rate for another 10 games then the gap to 3rd will really open up.

105 point season

 

[Mainze]

Remarkable considering performances as a whole have been average. Hopefully we move up a gear

 

[nbtsafc]

I hope not!
I hope we are 10 Points clear by Valentines day, 15 by Easter and have a 20 Point cushion going into the last game!

I’d still be nervous!

 

[UTW]

Hopefully will be a good battle for 1st & 2nd place for the rest of the season
As long as we get one of the automatic spots I'm not arsed if we dont finish top

Surely you'd rather we ran away with it?

2nd would be massively underwhelming. We are miles ahead of the rest of this league. We'll win it by at least 10 points

Me too, it would be great if we were comfortable.
That said I’d still be waiting some sort of Sunderland collapse, or a 20 point deduction for having the corner flags facing the wrong way

If we go top and stay there then add in January we will wrap it up by the end of March

Everyone seems to be forgetting about Barnsley. Best team ever apparently.

Who was it that started a thread after 4 games saying we were fucked and they were walking away with the league?

 

[MEEKLANGLEYFTM]

Injured apparently, im gutted, was looking forward to seeing him play!

Oh really yeah that's a shame

You know I don't know where you get - 'miles ahead' - I've seen all home and most away this season, I'd suggest we have the edge above many in this league, but often have struggled to show that edge. We've been lucky on many occasions - I call it lucky, others would say otherwise - I just hope we remain lucky and don't get caught out - Doncaster should have been 2 up against us in the first half, only their poor finishing said otherwise. Loads of examples this season and I keep hearing - 'when we hit top gear' - we have not yet, other than the first half against Posh - and we are nearly half way through the season. I want us to win every game as do us all, but for me we need to be more ruthless to be 'miles ahead'.

Same was looking forward to seeing him in person

 

[Mary Hinge]

Getting far too cocky like......just get the points on the board

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

I think we will go top on Saturday and we’ll remain there for the rest of the season.

Not being arrogant but I think so too

This. We won't keep a clean sheet I suspect.

I was only kidding, it would just be something typically trivial that we’d get get done for

Of course we should want to win the league, but I'd take second now and automatic promotion.

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Top spot for us nothing can possibly go wrong

Honestly not sure. I know a few knackers were saying how great they are though.

 

[naughtynose]

Got a feeling it's going to be a draw. The winning run will end some time, also Ainsworth had a good look at us as a pundit last week on BT.

1-1 Jeff
