I don't agree with your last sentence at all. We can only play what is in front of us. We may be in an unusual and unexpected position for this stage of the season, but very false.........I think not.SJG99 wrote:After 6 games any of those teams could have lost to us and still had 15 points from winning the other 5 matches. None of the ones we've beaten (inc Cambridge in EFL Cup) are in the top half. We're in a very false position - unless the Mansfield game was a blip.ButchersDog wrote:A big part of the reason that of those above that are in the bottom half is because we beat them...Caerleon Exile wrote:Excellent win, great to get our first away win of the season. Port Vale is a tricky place to go so happy with that. Oldham next week will be a much tougher test.
Looking at the table so far at teams we've played I think we shouldn't get too carried away.
Mansfield L (8th)
Exeter D (9th)
Crewe W (14th)
Port Vale W (19th)
Grimsby W (20th)
Notts County W (24th)
When we played Mansfield they were the pre season favourites for champions.
Exeter were in the top two when we played them (albeit early doors, but they will be there or thereabouts)
When we played Crewe they had just come off a 6-0 victory the game before.
Notts County will also be there imo at the end.
Grimsby and Port Vale - great results. They will be lower end to mid table at the seasons end imo.
I don't think we will be second at the end but I have revamped my season prediction. Just outside the playoffs at the end for me now. Great start.
