After countless seasons looking at the playoff positions from below, we are for once looking at 6th place from above. In fact stuff that I am looking at top two !

I found a new way too! by standing on my head and balancing a duck on my left foot and singing ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts while staring at the computer screen with the division one table on it.
It's way too early in the season to even think about a top half finish. In fact I look at the table the same way I have done the 45+ years of supporting this club:
How many points do we have and how many do we need to be safe.
We have 16 points and we need 34 more from 38 games.
It looks possible.

You have to get used to the idea that things are different now, we have a team that can genuinely push for promo, and I fully expect the loans to be replaced with equally good players, if/when they get recalled

No Godiva is right, the responsibility of any side is to secure safety first. The sooner you do it the sooner you can relax and play.

I totally agree with you on this, as we have been filled with hope before, and been sadly let down, so taking it one game at a time seems to be the sensible thing to do.

I agree we should take one game at a time but currently we are 4th and averaging 2 points per game. I really don't see any reason to think about what we need to do to avoid relegation at this point.

And surely we've had one of the toughest starts.
Category A teams - Walsall, Wigan, Burton
Category B teams - Chesterfield, Millwall, Southend
Category C teams: Crewe, Scunthorpe.
I'd put the next 5 down as:
Bury: Category B
Fleetwood: Category B
Blackpool: Category C
Rochdale: Category A
Swindon: Category B
Looking at the league is amazing though. Burton, Walsall and Gillingham top 3?!

doesn't our season normally end at xmas ?
I wonder when the last season was that we won more points in the 2nd round of games than the 1st

I agree shmmeee, but does feel different this time. I haven't felt this positive for 20 years.

We have played 4 of the top half and 4 of the bottom half teams. So we have evenly played across the table.
Interestingly we do better against the top half teams.

Yes but 2 of the top half teams are the current top 2. Wigan are 3 points behind us and should do well now after a poor start.

The way I feel is that we are and should remain part of the top six, the only way I can see that changing is if Mogga leaves, I am happy that we can definitely sustain this run

I think we will drop to mid table by the end of the season. Loan players return to their own clubs, SISU accept any offers for our players in the Jan window and we finish poorly. Would love to be proved wrong mind.

i think not if we are going for promotion still - as even stupid sisu will realise that championship players have a higher value than league 1 players. Bar a silly bid (which with maddisons injury will not happen) i think we should be ok
