Still early in the season but the 3 relegated clubs, Brentford and The Jacks are looking strong, winning consistently and will make up the top 5.
I can’t see Bristol city keeping pace, nor Reading, with those 5 teams, so that means there’s probably one spot for about 5 or 6 teams to chase, the 2 mentioned plus probably Stoke, Blackburn , ourselves and Middlesbrough
There’s a long old season yet. There will be plenty of points dropped by everyone currently in the top 6. Bournemouth have just dropped 5 points to Rotherham and Preston. Norwich dropped 2 v Coventry at home. Plenty of twists and turns to come.
2 wins against 2 utter gash sides doesn't make us play off contenders - lets see how the next 2 pan out
If we reproduce that Coventry performance regularly we've got no hope
I still see it as
Bournemouth
Watford
Swansea
Norwich
Brentford
Reading
Wurzels will always fall away as they are soft
Hudds were far from utter gashQuote:

It's a squad game this year and we probably have the 8th or 9th best squad in the league. If this added confidence can rub off on a few non-starters then we can start to talk about play-offs.
They're always up for grabs really, where we were this time last year? Probably in a similar or worse position and look where we ended up.
We've just beaten two sides above us in the table. Huddersfield put 3 past Boro who only conceded 6 before Saturday all season. It's a long old season yet but finally some promising signs and key players returning to form can only be a positive.Quote:

Watford as Champions
Before tonight’s game those 2 utter gash sides both had more points than usQuote:

Exactly, folk attempting to prove that the Championship is predictable have been bitten on the arse many times, a few times by us.Quote:
