We have most of the hardest away games out of the way, we've found some home form, can score for fun and now keep clean sheets, we have all the hallmarks of a top six team :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Just to point out Warnock was not our manager last year

Good start to the season especially considering we are a very winnable game away from being in the last 16 of the league cup. Only bettered by our promotion winning team, keep it up Erol and the boys.

It's been a great start to the season. We played well in periods against Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich, totally deserved the wins against the Jacks and Coventry. Not a great performance against Sunderland, but defended brilliantly and frustrated them.

The players look like they have a great team spirit, something that has been missing since the Warnock era.

The next 3 games against Rotherham (h), Boro (a) and Watford (h) are all winnable and I'm hoping for 9 points.

I'm excited about the future, but also trying to keep my feet on the ground. If we're in the top 8 at Xmas, hopefully Tan will give Bulut a few quid to get a striker in and then we can push on and upwards.

Morison was.

Don't want to get carried away folks. Still much too early to judge Buluts success rate.

We could easily come out of the next 3 matches with 1 point, let alone 9. Watford blow hot and cold and I believe Boro are in a totally false position.

The total Bulut love-in can wait a little longer for me.

So we got more points now than when we last got promoted.

We've been unlucky to be on just 13. There's an argument it could be 17. But that's football.
But point being it's a great sign.

6 points we should have got from Leeds (2), Leicester (1) and Ipswich (3). then against luck went our way against Sheff Wed (2) and Sunderland (2).
