According to a couple of posts on their forum there's no competition from us this year, and our bubble's now bursting.

Saturday 24th November... :woot:
-
They will win the league this year I reckon we can still make the play offs
-
They are one point ahead of us at the moment and one finger more generally.
-
If you finish above us and Sunderland you’ll go up automatically in my opinion, once our squad is settled in and used to playing the way our head coach wants them to, we’ll be really hard to stop. We’ve got three or four players that are absolutely quality, far too good for this division, if we keep them fit we’ll coast to promotion.
-
I'd be quite happy to go up with Barnsley and Sunderland. It's a long road though and I think that we need a bit of extra quality in January to maintain our push.
-
That's a fair reflection. Without some boost at Christmas I think we may struggle to keep the pace up, it's a wearing method of play which needs good backup particularly in midfield.
-
The league is there for the taking this year. Portsmouth are top and I thought they were poor

I doubt Portsmouth will be top come April / May.

Depending on what you constitute as midfield we have Whiteman, Kane, Rowe and Blair who have all proved themselves in this formation this season. Behind them are Crawford and Anderson who are as yet unproven really.

The thing is Padge, we were third last week and got thumped 4-0 at home.
We have only seen Portsmouth the once and maybe they had a bad day that day too.

Well my money is on Sunderland, Barnsley and Portsmouth being the top 3 in no particular order.
Same as I predicted before a ball was kicked. I still think Peterborough will finish outside the play offs.
The other 3 play off places I predict will be Rovers, Charlton and Luton, again in no particular order.
-
Luton are the best side I’ve seen and we won that game definitely agree they will be up there. We’re surrounded by much bigger teams in the play offs and they will have more funds in January

I hope you're right. Play offs would represent a great effort for us. I don't think Portsmouth are all that great though. I can see Accrington reaching the play offs.

Now that would be a great achievement if they do. Bookies favourite for the drop before the season started. Coleman has to be the best manager in the football league. He has aparently the second lowest budget. Only Morecambe’s is lower.

Our season is one of Transitions,...
New Manager
New formation
New playing style...
Nobody expected us to be doing so well, but we have earned our rewards, and whereas other teams bigger than us will have some personal expectancy regarding their teams ultimate position...we don’t , we have gatecrashed a party and brought a sh#t load of booze...
The Barnsley’s , Sunderland’s and Charltons will find the second half of the season a little more challenging as teams try to mollify their strength....it may not work for some opponents, but for others it surely must.....
I don’t see a runaway leader this term...just 8 teams in the mix playing leapfrog....
Just hope we can leap higher than those Dingles !! 🤪

Just shows how hard football is to predict this thread. Luton only got a couple of passing mention in October
