    Brave comment. Them and Swansea will take some beating this season. Much better chance of going up than we have.

    We looked like a top flight side tonight. No Swift. No Ejaria but we scored four and played some lovely stuff. Armstrong was terrific for Blackburn.
    We have some very talented players.

    Early days but very encouraging. Armstrong is going places. He will do well for you this season.

    It will have to be some dramatic collapse from here, one of those where everyone is just waiting for them to fail (aka Leicester 15/16).

    It’s amazing how Warnock turns round struggling Championship teams time and time again

    Well that isn’t saying much based on some of our ‘performances’ this year, especially at home 🤷*♂️

    Agreed, just saying maybe we should look closer to home before writing off other teams that have had an amazing start to the season.

    If we get to ten games without a sign of weakness from Reading, I reckon they're going up.

    I think it's easy to fall into the trap of reading too much into the tables at the moment, because, although we're almost into November, it's effectively just early September as far as a "normal" season is concerned.

    Re: Reading

    Reading have had 54 shots this season now.

    They have had 28 on target.

    They have scored 14 goals.

    That's 51.9% of their shots on target

    That's 25.9% Conversion rate.

    Feel like some context would be good here. It's a small sample size so kinks will iron out BUT league average conversion rates for Championship generally fluctuate between 10-11%. Top sides may be more 14-18%.

    That's fine, but how will they cope with a wet Tuesday night at Blackburn ?

    Re: Reading

    They appear to be playing with plenty of pace going forward and with the supporting midfield. This is forcing their opposition backwards.

    We have pace in some areas (Ojo, Murphy especially) but are far too slow in committing bodies forward to support.

    Whilst I think Reading will be hard topple, I also don't think their defence is that good (they were wobbly when we scored against them)

    I already believe teams are showing them too much respect and sitting off them.
