My reflections on the opening fixtures are that we are playing well, haven’t reached full stride yet and coming together as a unit. Good clean sheets as well.
However, we haven’t really played anyone that good yet - Swansea will be the first proper test so let’s wait and see.

I agree with the review Alf, but not sure we haven’t played anyone that good, Bristol, Notts Forest And Even Brentford have the ability to beat good teams and won’t be too far away from the playoffs.

Alf We do appear to be playing within ourselves. Conservation of energy for the future. A good thing.

agree Alf Swans will be a great test, good thing is they play football and that suits us well, i feel more confident against a team that can play football over a lump it forward big physical side.

Disagree regarding the quality of opposition faced as Bristol, Forest and Brentford should be challenging towards the top half of the league. That being said, the physical teams were our nemesis last season. Hopefully we can combat the strong arm tactics of Millwall, Barnsley, Cardiff etc.

Think its all gone as expected to be fair. I expected us to do well first half of season and think we can beat Swansea as well, although they do seem to have learned from last season and are playing good football. I reckon we will be up there again going into the festive season its the bit after Dec. where we will be tested. We are more clinical in front of goal and White is a big plus in defence. As long as everyone stays fit and we amass points now at the beginning to put pressure on other teams we are the team to beat.
Must say Dallas as impressed me a bit so far, he gets forward really well but he has not been tested defensively yet due to our formation. Good to see goals coming from all over as well, wing backs, midfield and Bamford who has a much better attitude this time round. And of course the clean sheets, loving them let's hope it continues. Onwards and upwards.

Forest haven’t impressed at all so far and Brentford are 19th. Bristol fair enough they are doing ok this far.

Alf, Forest did to Fulham what they tried to do to us and got three points there which will be tough for teams to do. So far they have 4 pets from two away trips to Leeds and Fulham. Brentford, I think will get better as the season goes on.

It’s a bit early to know who’s good or not. We hammered Norwich at Carrow Rd early last season and look how good they turned out to be!

Every team can have its day in this league. None are useless, all can be dangerous. All we can do is keep racking up the points against whoever we play. But we have put some good teams to the sword so far!

Florists could have had 6 or 7 vs Birmingham
Beat Fulham away
They are a threat
We, however, are a class act. We need to play our game, the rest sorts itself.
