Second only to City this season according to Football 365.

They have us only at 2.6 per game, which is still streets ahead of anything we've done in the last decade though.

Largely achieved without Grealish too, so hope we don't just chuck him straight back in.

The standard of opposition massively skews that.

Played three promoted teams, two teams that have just sacked their manager, another in Newcastle who have been total shite.

We’ve made the most of it and that’s all you can ask but those numbers will come down quite a bit.

Happy with it but also don't expect us to keep it up. It's like last season when we were going "How the fuck are we 7th?" with a couple of months of the season left. Eventually we ended up 13th as ultimately and that was about the level we'd be playing all season.

I'm happy to just take it game by game and hope for the best, we're a pretty mid team.

Next four out of five fixtures will give us a better barometre.

Take out Fulham and I think if we still are in the top half of the table after Brighton then it's a solid first half of the season.

Getting a lot of praise in the media. Think that's fair but also expect us to drop down

Yeah there's no way we finish anywhere near 6th, but with a quarter of the season gone it's hard to complain too much about where we currently are.

Wonder if we recruit in Jan?

If we do it will likely be loans I reckon due to the ownership issue.

A back up striker and maybe a different alternative to Mykolenko and no reason why we can't kick on.

Not to tempt fate but we SHOULD beat Fleetwood if we take it seriously.

If we go deep in the cup then we will need the numbers.

Unlikely with the owners wanting to sell. I doubt a league cup win increases our value in any significant way unfortunately.

Maybe if Grealish leaves (seems unlikely now) someone like KDB on loan as rumoured could potentially happen, but it's unlikely, and I don't see us spending money on anyone permanent.
