Burnley held to a bore draw. So no body is running away this year. 4 points in the first 6. Its how team end the season. So we are in a good position . Just need to stay in and around and hope we can get our team back together after Xmas.

It is a mediocre weak Champo this season.
No very good teams this season.
05 Oct 2024 16:00:35
In your very mediocre opinion Baz.
05 Oct 2024 16:46:18
Haha . no surprise there OP
If I said grass was green you'd say it wasn't ?.
05 Oct 2024 17:39:04
Baz I think more accurately what you wanted to say is that there's no "outstanding" team like a ?? from last season.
Top 3 should be quite tight this season.
If we add correctly in January, we should edge it.
05 Oct 2024 18:26:06
Just because a no team has started amazing doesn't mean one might go on a run! But I have to admit I'm not fearful about any team this year. Leeds league to lose.
05 Oct 2024 18:29:28
The problem is George, will we add anyone in January - notoriously difficult time to bring players in ( of sufficient quality) and Farke not known for adding to the squad in the New Year.
Hope I'm wrong and you're right - we are there/ thereabouts at the moment, one or two shrewd additions would add the finishing touch.

Cleggy .
Ani's faves Gonner Ipswich added quite a few quality players last Jan window .
and that was the difference in getting up.
05 Oct 2024 20:33:02
Cleggy Think we will. 9ers surely realize in absence of promotion the following bad things shall occur:
1. Further stadium ?️ expansion delay.
2. Forced sale of better players.
3. Harder to attract quality in transfer market.
4. Exceptionally strong teams coming down from EPL, stronger than ever.
5. Closer to termination of parachute payments.
We need a CAM, a GK and striker.

…. and they added a bucket load in the summer…serving them well presently.
05 Oct 2024 21:23:58
I agree with all the points you list George, just hope that we do bring in a couple in Jan.
As Dill mentioned yesterday, Kramer is a free agent, now he would be an excellent addition and no need to wait till January either!
05 Oct 2024 23:19:50
Think he'd need time to get up to speed, Cleggy, but 2 week really would mitigate it somewhat. Hopefully match fit in a month's time.
05 Oct 2024 23:33:15
Very generous there by saying mediocre to be fair. i'd say it lies somewhere between, pointless, deluded and just plain wrong.

Why do say no teams like Leicester this season like there were four or five Leicesters l?
There was only Leicester who should have and did win the league, the rest were no different to this season.
We were the only team that should have challenged Leicester theoretically.
Ipswich and Southampton will be canon fodder in the Premiership this season and both will be coming back down which will prove they both were unexceptional Championship teams.
06 Oct 2024 09:44:40
Leicester were excellent last year and Ipswich turned out to be an unstoppable force. Us and Southampton played our part but they were always just out of reach.
This year no team stands out. We have played Burnley and were unlucky with the result against them. I think Sunderland asked the most questions of our defence on Friday.
I think if we get 90 points again we should be up. Just need to get a settled side. I think we have had our slice of bad luck now.
