I think we're better and if it wasn't for some wasteful finishing we'd be clear at the top.
I do worry about teams with a big target man like Birmingham and Fulham but at this stage anyway, I think we look stronger than we did last season.
We must keep Eddie and White for the whole season, a lot will depend on that.
i understand where you coming from chilli and i partly agree but i just think its a bit premature to suggest anything at this moment in time .

norwich looked average at best aswell last september ! ..... some teams will improve and some will fade impossible to say at this stage.

the championship is a gruelling marathon and not a sprint . my feet are firmly on the ground . once bitten twice shy .....

Absolutely imperative Chilli :tup:

Although we all know Leeds & January transfer windows, just a bit more ambition/urgency last season & promotion would have been more or less guaranteed. When you consider all the injuries & close call results at Christmas time the writing was on the wall if we didn't react.

Too much wasted time & effort thinking Izzy Brown was going to be our saviour :roll:

We made Norwich look really poor, I walked out of Carrow Road thinking we don't need to worry about them :o :oops: the canaries lost fewer matches then any other team after we had hammered them.

There is usually one team that comes out of the lower end of the table & gains promotion.

I recall Fulham, Reading & Villa over the last few seasons

seem to remember one year palace was in or around the bottom 3 at cristmas and went on a tremendous run to win promotion.
probably the most unpredictable league in the world.
