U can read into stats what u wish, of course, but our Bluebirds have won four out of the last five competitive matches - and should have won the game they lost to fortunate Ipswich Town.

We are scoring from a plethora of outlets and the back four look to be settling. The squad has competition running straight through it.

We are still lacking a natural nine and another quality left-footed midfielder, but I honestly feel we'll be rectifying this in the January window.

Important now to be approaching the Championship top eight and hovering in and around those play-off positions.

No excuse for our fans not to be turning up now - a victory at Sunderland this Saturday, or at least a point, must trigger a crowd of 23-24,000 for unfashionable Rotherham Saturday week.


You’ve got the quality football and now the wins to go with it.
Some lovely football played in a really decent game v Coventry.

Thought the referee was, in the main, superb too.

Good early signs Annis, and with a Moore up front we'd be absolutely flying. Hope the powers that be can see that aswell.One ball Grant fizzzed across first half was a tap in for a decent CF.
Excellent ref minimum fuss in control he will be fast tracked above if he carries on like that. Reminded of a younger Uriah Rennie. :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Well I'm feeling a lot more confident.

We went into the season not knowing how the new guys would cope with the Championship, specially the new foreign guys. Also those coming from Championship clubs there were questions marks on them. It was only the Ramsey signing that was comfortable for us.

So now we are into the new season those doubts have mostly been removed. Alnwick our keeper is the one that is impressing me the most. The most cynic of us would agree we should have a few more points that we have got. Yet with all this we are not the finish product so we are being told.

I judge after 10 games, that 3 to go. Looking at who we are up against I can see us picking up a lot of points. I don't want to tempt fate.

I would be thrilled we get a draw at Sunderland to be honest when they are on form they are a very good team.

We have played all the best teams Leeds leicester Ipswich away and I felt we deserved more

I was concerned about our home form we were poor against Colchester very poor against QPR
but the last 3 we got what we deserved in the last 3 home games 9 points out of 9
and as a bonus the jacks was in that so 9th place

So far we are doing much much better than I thought :D :D

We are looking good and you can't help but raise your expectations a bit after the last few displays. Bench always looks strong and we'll likely add another player or 2 come Jan. Last night proved we are not overly reliant on Rambo as well which is great. Tighten up this defence and who knows. I'll still be over the moon with a top half finish...but if we beat Sunderland away (who I think are a really good side) and we also beat Rotherham home, you gotta start wondering then haha!

Bulut is still learning vs Ipswich we went 2 up we brought on defenders and lost. Last night at 2 1 we brought on 3 attackers and went for it instead of sitting back inviting pressure and it ultimately won us the game

Second highest scorers in the league. Considering where we were last year, couldn't buy a goal!!

Two or three losses that would change.
