Let's look at the positive.

Checked the last four seasons an average of 73 points is enough to get you in the top 6.  More importantly teams in those four play off places have also tended to have lost between 8 and 12 games. We have only lost two so far.  But fair to say we need to start winning soon.  I also think the play off points threshold maybe slightly lower this season considering how quickly teams' unbeaten runs went.

I'm not putting much hope on automatic promotion though.

Depends what Dr Tony wants though. What's certain is he isn't spending 40-50m every season just to stay in the championship.

No - I reckon he'd take two years if needed. We should be giving it a proper go with this squad though, even if 'just' a play off place

Once we gel we'll go on a good strong run. I'm pretty confident.

We're getting there. Play to this standard with a bit more cutting edge and we'll win a lot of games.

If we carry on playing like this sooner or later someone's going to get an absolute twatting.  Our finishing was diabolical today and we still scored two and hit the woodwork twice.

We still need a midfielder willing and able to get stuck in (the run to create their second goal wouldn't have happened if Jedinak had been on the pitch) and the defence still need to gel, but with a bit of shooting practice and/or luck our attack is going to score shit loads in this division.
