The truth is in pretty much all of the games we have played in some way or another we have allowed teams to look way better than they are or simply not been clinical enough to put them away when given ample opportunity. We should be way further up the table than we are. But it is what it is and we have to earn our way back now. But the encouraging thing is the league outside a few sides really is quite average. We just need to take advantage of it.

Yep Fulham barely had a shot last weekend and now demolishing recent league leaders.

That's the championship for you.

Huddersfield won't finish top 6 imo.

The maniacal pressing game from Dortmund won't work in a division with this many games over the season. I think the Bundesliga has 18 teams? 34 games, as opposed to 46 here. I didn't expect them to run out of steam this early though.

Blackburn have a player who looks like a cross between Kieren Clarke and Ashley Westwood.

Found out his name... Darragh Lenihan.

Also Blackburn are protesting by leaving after 75 minutes because they were founded in 1875. Copycats!

I took a humungous amount of abuse from Huddersfield fans on Twitter for suggesting they may not be top at Christmas when we were about a fortnight into the season.

4,000 empty seats in a tiny ground for a Saturday 3 o'clock kick off against a top team. Small time doesn't even start to describe them
