    Honest journeymen punching well above their weight. Nice surprise to be where we are but it's early days and Burnley will show us closer to where we really are. HR has been lucky with performances. We have shown nothing to take control of a game and have no real aim apart from to defend. We're like the best team in the division to go into every game with 10 men behind the ball.

    Undefeated, unconvincing. We're not good so the rest of the division is dire. This team wouldn't survive the prem. Limited game plans and ineffective attack. A defense that would have trouble out sprinting a tortoise.

    It is done

      Looking at the team we had after relegation and how poor team spirit etc. was,i would have said we are a mid table club.But the right players mainly have come and gone and look a far more confident team.

      Very happily surprised by our start to the season.

            i make you right we have been lucky a lot this season, many of the games have been tight and we've rode our luck and nicked the odd goal . the team spirit seems to be good and i'm sure the likes of dunne and barton have made a difference there. we have still to play leicester, reading, blackpool and many of the other top half teams . if we can come back from todays defeat and win at wigan then thats the mark of a good side. we just dont score enough and set up to defensively for my liking happy to nick 1 nil wins so sooner or later u will get found out

              I have actually decided i dont like the premiership whatsoever, and i was the one who said i like to see the top players like rooney, rvp and ozil at the bush. But after watching palace for the second time this week, my mind is made up. I much prefer this division. The prem is far to predictable, if and when we go up we will just come straight back down again and have another season of getting played off the pitch near on every game imho. But we have to go up to progress as a club, due to the big money we have been laying out the last couple of seasons.

                Fernandes wants us up as fast as possible for business purposes but i share your feelings about the prem...just not a competitive league.

                  Well today QPR reminded me of last season. We kept putting passes to our opponents and normally in front of our penalty area. Our players were not concentrated enough for this tough task and just hope next game will see us being more accurate and closing our opponents more. I think that Richard Dunne miss could have turn the game, but it was not to be. If we really are a good side, our players should show their anger in the next game and turn things around.

                    Absolutely understand your feelings here tbf, but...

                    If we don't want to win the league and get promotion, it takes away from the fun and tension of this division.

                    I want us to be a big team, and be playing with the big boys. Not because I want to see the star players, I want to see my team go up against them in the top division, like we should be.

                      Thats what i mean , seeing rangers against these good players is what i thought i liked, but ive decided i dont really care anymore. Would like to win the league and get the dough but stay down here.
