100% - I’d go as far and call that a top 4 team if our defensive form continues. I don’t think Thomas or Kitch are bad individual defenders.
I’d fancy that team over Blackburn and Sunderland, comfortably. Even teams like Middlesbrough, Norwich and maybe even a Mowbray-led WBA. Carlos Corberan was the best manager in division in my book so I expect WBA to drop off.
The proof will be in the pudding, we’ve got most of the teams above us at home so we’ve got a massive opportunity to claim multiple ‘6-pointer’ wins.
If Rudoni bags a few more goals between now and the end of the season he has had a very good 1st year with us. I think he will only get better and is another that the fee seemed high but will prove to be a shrewd bit of business.
Even on a quiet night when he hasn’t played at his best, he’s still a quality player with excellent control and is worth keeping on the pitch just for his set piece delivery.
