We were never going up. We’ve had a good start but need to keep our feet firmly on the ground. Top half finish would be great.

If we turn it around on Saturday the mood will be very different

one of our greatest managers ever is a wet wipe for wanting to improve our away form? Guess that’s what I like about him always trying to improve

Well yeah there is a bit of a difference between losing 1-0 and being humiliated like we did last night

Tbf he was calling me a wet wipe for saying we need to improve our away form ASAP. Which is the same as what Robins said.
If I am a wet wipe for saying that, then Robins must also be a wet wipe for saying the same thing.
No disrespect taken

And Yeovil 6-2 at home(!) in the L2 promotion season. These things happen, it's how we react that's important.

We do need to improve our away results but aside from last night, the performances have been decent away from home.
We should really have won the games at Millwall and Barnsley as we were the better side in both, particularly the latter.

We left 5 mins early last night but on the way out the stewards were commenting to eachother " they are losing 5 nil and still singing like they are winning".

What we have to realise, this league is long hard mental and physical slog. Its not plain sailing even for the top 2 or top 6.
Keep our shit together and stay together we will be fine. We have won 6 games that hasnt happened by luck!

Long hard season ahead but take away the Luton game and it's a very decent start. I'd have never had us down to pick up so many points, so early on.
Let's be honest though, we are not promotion contenders and our away form is poor having only beaten Blackpool.
Next up Fulham, I'd take a good performance and a point to take us into the October International break.

I think there were two major factors at play last night, on the one hand we were to complacent and as a result started the game to relaxed which quickly left us off the pace of the game, the early ‘dubious’ penalty really rattled us and we struggled to muster any kind of shape after it, the second goal was inevitable and from there we were done.
On the other hand, they started with real pace and a determination to get straight into us, they showed no signs of easing up on scoring the early goal and quickly identified and exploited our particular areas of weakness, they always tried to get the ball into our box as quickly as possible ‘and when they did their finishing was clinical.
We were very poor and I doubt we’ll play as badly again this season.
They were very good and I doubt they’ll play as well again this season.

At this point ‘10 games in’ we are forth from top, based on that I would say we are promotion contenders.
Makes more sense than saying we aren’t promotion contenders based on 1 game.

Thank god we got a game coming around so quickly. And then an international break which has probably come at the right time.

Agreed. Could easily have got something from QPR too.
I do wonder if we might look to go back to the 'box' away from home for some games now though.

Possibly, there is certainly a lack of protection from defensive midfielders, thinking particularly about that gap between Maatsen and JCS that has been exploited a bit, it's exactly the sort of position that Kelly fills in.

Mid-table is still a good finish in my book. Although I'm looking more at top half now.
I'm enjoying the ride of being in the playoffs and being unbeaten at home while playing great football but I'm not expecting it to last all season.

Luton were all over that gap, looked to drop the ball in there at every opportunity,
not sure whether it’s something they identified and worked on before the game or they just quickly saw it as a weak spot and adapted to exploit it………worked on before the game I would think.

“We only sing when we’re winning” is just not the SBA way.

First time we been to Kenilworth Road, was very underwhelmed by their support. Was one of the worst home atmospheres i seen and heard in a full stadium.

The overall experience there is underwhelming to say the least.
