wallaceboy Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I for one believe we have had a great start.our two losses coming against teams I firmly believe will probably take the top two spots in the league this season.and only one nil losses at that . who thinks we could of expected more . and how long did it take us to get 9points on the board last season.

Lordofthebling Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 For me' I still have baggage from last season; so it's a race to get to 50 points. Quicker we get that the better! After that, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full nelson Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 3 points from the last 3 games!! Most of us would of taken 3 draws before the ex prem fixtures hit us. I'm happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I said in the points from August thread I'd be happy with 7 from the first 5, I'm ecstatic x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm very happy. The Burton game was much tougher in hindsight as well. Always tough on opening day. New squad basically. Only lost 1-0 to each of the promotion favourites. How could you complain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I said 5 points. So 9 is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a great start to the season though, long may it continue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I predicted 7 in August so pleased with 9. Looking resilient. And great that we only concede 1 a game now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Before the season started I thought we might struggle to amass 5/6 points by now (shows what I know) so I'm really pleased with the start we've made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 It's a decent start, but it concerns me how many chances Villa had in the first half. Had they scored just one more goal, I think we'd have been looking at three defeats on the trot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 It doesn't help when the BBC knock off one of our goals. In their current table they have us down as scoring 6 from our 5 games with a goal difference of +1 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I thought we would be lucky to get three points from the first five games,so nine is an absolute bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Very good start. Be interesting to see how we do against the likes of Reading/Leeds/Birmingham (established sides that we couldn't beat last season) ...but I think top half is not out of the question.

wallaceboy Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Its a great start to where we were last season.starting to believe big things are going on down the gate. I would be extremely happy with a top half finish with the chance of sneaking in them play offs going into the last few games . Here's hoping.And selling players for 14million.i mean the sags get 5squads for that couldnt they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 On a slightly different tack, can anyone else see the current bottom three as the three that will actually go down? It won`t be far off IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I certainly didn't expect this number of points after five games. But now that we're on course for 83 points at end of season, I shall be gutted if we miss out on automatic promotion and have to settle for the pray-offs!

ciderbeans Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Great that we got 9 points as I predicted 6/7 and great were still in the cup which is a rarity. the other key factor is although we lost to Norwich and Newcastle, it was only by one goal and we have both a good game. I am certain we can compete up there this season and a cup run will give continued confidence. good that our next two games are against out of form Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday although they will be bigger tests than Norwich and Newcastle IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 We are doing better than I could hope, really thought the three games against the premiership teams relegated last season would see us not only lose all three, but possibly put over a barrel and seriously pounded - luckily we have played decently this season so far, not been embarrassed and shown some class at times. Really looking forward for the season to get going again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 We've had a very tough start to the season but more than stood our ground and nine points is a great result at this point. If we keep that going all season (I know) then we'll be at a very respectable 82(.8) which nobody here would be unhappy with at all. We've now got games against opposition we played last season for a significant period. We've played against many of the unknowns now in promoted and relegated teams and this is where we really see how we compare to last year... and how other teams do too. One big thing is to come out of losses having learned something and I think they're all doing that now and enjoying playing. Hopefully this can keep on going... but if not then be sure LJ won't stand for it for long. This guy has more passion than I ever gave him credit for.
