I would have thought that we are strong enough especially when you look at the substitutes bench on match days. Together with our experience from last season, we should just about scrape over the line. I just don't think we will win every game so knuckle in .... it might be a roller coaster ride!


..... and Sunderland, the underdogs, are in the lead!

Its a toss up between a few sides I think... No guarantees... Unless we add some pace in January I really think we'll end up in playoffs again... Slow as old nick we are, too predictable because of that.

Pace is not everything, a watertight defence is the most important part of any football team and that is still shaky.
I think we will still finish in the top two but I would say come the January window we will know for sure.

True but it brings exciting football.

An attacking positive team takes pressure from any defence, best form of defense is attack. We're too methodical and predictable in midfield and quite frankly we are like a cart horse collectively.

The end.

I agree with most of what you say but most teams insist on a solid defence and ours does tend to lose concentration.
