Haven't gone back to check, but the 2 I know I got badly wrong were Ipswich and Stoke.
Haven't gone back to check, but the 2 I know I got badly wrong were Ipswich and Stoke.Spent a while looking for my assessment (Aug 26, post #1057),
Surprised how well it's generally held up. Didn't foresee Rooney(!!) re Birmingham, when is Mogga back? Far off from Leeds though. I think a few weeks later I'd written Southampton off entirely but an unforeseen 20+ game unbeaten run proved me the fool. Still looking partial towards Hull favoring well. Was way off on Cardiff sadly. Sunderland below Coventry very probable by this point.
How's everyone else's early season assessments held up?
I had certainly never anticipated Ipswich to maintain so well.
Also, for anyone with time to kill, there's plenty of interesting reading in the first 10 or15 pages of this thread.
Terrible takesStoke are making some good signings
Travers from Bournemouth
Ben Pearson from Bournemouth
Hoever on loan again
Vidigal on loan
Chiquinho on loan
Them and Blues alongside us have had decent incomings
Re: Aaron Ramsey at Cardiff (not a bad shout!)2 year contract rumoured - he'll only play about half a season if they're lucky
QPR v MBoro next game. Sheffield Wed already looking like they're going to struggle. Think Cardiff, Rotherham and QPR to fill 2 of the bottom 3 between them, with Sheff Wed as a definite.
This guy knows his shit.Stoke are going to be the overhyped, big spending flops again aren't they.

13 out of those 18 have come since NYD as well. We hadn’t won from behind for about 18 months before Middlesbrough and now we’ve done it 4 times in 2024.
Terrible takes
We all haveYea I've had a mare there. On paper they were good signings
And on grass??.....................nah not so good hahahahaYea I've had a mare there. On paper they were good signings
Why did Cardiff have to do so decent, make me look like a fool rather than Nostradamus. Your early thoughts on QPR may still come to fruition, but it's so tight now at the bottom half 5, 6, 8 teams still at serious risk. Going to be an interesting last few games I imagine.Re: Aaron Ramsey at Cardiff (not a bad shout!)
Wrong about Cardiff too !

Leicester 12 penalties this season ffs
That table pretty closely follows the touches and penalty area possession table in terms of mostly the same teams from what I could find, but Leeds and Southampton both have more Pen box touches than Leicester (Southampton by quite a distance despite playing a game less). Bristol’s is skewed by the fact they’ve converted all 3 of their pens (a few teams have had more but missed some)Be interesting to see data that shows whether Leicester are spending more time in the oppositions box with the ball, or whether there is just a biased towards Leicester. Because the gap between them and everyone else is unlikely as just a coincidence.
Add to that to another three more blatant ones we should have had; then again in the Cup Final, KDH shouldn’t have been given one IMO mi ducksBe interesting to see data that shows whether Leicester are spending more time in the oppositions box with the ball, or whether there is just a biased towards Leicester.

Still not sure about the penalty given against Thomas. I feel like it wasn't a foul, but had to be given because KDH ran into his studs. Irrelevant anyway I guess.
DOur playoff rivals fixtures today.
Swansea v Cardiff
Stoke v Norwich
Middlesbrough v Blackburn
Plymouth v Preston
West Brom v Bristol City
Absolutely mad to think we could have had 2/3 of their back three starting for us this season, they’re shedding goals for funNorwich 2-0 up against Stoke already ffs.
After today. I could not care lessResults not going well for us at the minute
Stoke are useless c***s, hope they get relegated with Blues.Norwich appear the big threat. Hope we don't take our eye off the ball with Wembley coming up.
