They could be right. Don’t get carried away with this result just yet. 3 wins from the top of the table, 3 defeats from the bottom three. Simple as that. Long way to go , a lot of games to be played, with or without Ramsey. Let’s see what happens. The Championship has never been an easy League. This season won’t be any different.
Feel at this stage it’s a matter of collecting points to retain a half way position and let’s see where it goes from there. Very encouraging though.
He just can't bring himself to say anything positive can he
Yes, it will very likely go tits up for us very soon.
We have just had three league wins in a week, two against pretty good sides and one against our arch rivals, but our good fortune will no doubt be be over in a whipstitch.
How dare people get a little bit carried away with it all!
Not Reading.
8 games.jpg
Ah, Reading had only played 7 games in the BBC table I looked at, which was after City's 8th game. So they were doing better than I thought after 8 games.

I think carried away would be suggesting promotion challenges.
We avoided the drop because of a sides points deduction cant buy any players and just won 3 on the bounce.
I dont think we will be in a relegation battle after initially going into the season where id have taken a place above the drop zone.
Its an encouraging start to a much needed rebuild. Its helped that 3 players who were with us last season are having such a poitive impact. Collins , Tanner and Alnwick.
Yes, it was some crash.
We only have to look at the 2006/07 season for our own version. In early October we were unexpectedly top, 6 points clear, won 9 and only lost 1 of our opening 12 games. That start saw us playing some of the best football I've seen from us. Who knows what happened after that, but we won 35 points from the last 34 matches to finish in the bottom half. Some say it was injury to Scimeca, but he did start 35 league games.
It was just as well we started the season as we did. For 34 games our form was relegation form.
What is good about this improvement, we have had three of our best players injured or rested, Ramsey, O'Dowda, and Bowler, we have a far better squad and very good options now outside the first eleven.
Although Ramsey played really well at Swansea, I'm surprised we've found a way of playing without him so quickly.
A Stiker in January we could be a very useful team this season!
Irrespective of whether we will finish mid table or higher, most would agree we have enough about us to finish above 23rd surely? A couple of key injuries aside, we've got a good side and, it appears, a good manager. The last three games weren't flukes.
