But that wouldn't happen. The question is, are draws away from home good enough, and the answer is no, they're not.

Well me? I am well chuffed, unbeaten after three games so only another 43 points to avoid the dreaded drop, but seriously the negative claptrap on here a month ago would have had us staring at possibly one point after 3 games. Best start to a season for ages.
Think it's more to do how well we play first half and totally under pressure second. ( pretty much in all 3 games)Something doesn't seem right.
You can if you win all of your home games, in fact you could probably lose 6 home games winning the rest with the away draws would more often than not give you a playoff berth.

Compared with last term, if you gave me a points equivalent to all home wins and all away draws....where do I sign?

But you won't!
When was the last time a team got into the playoffs with only 23 points from their away games? Decades I imagine.

But you quoted someone saying win at home draw away as not being good enough. Of course we wont win every home game nor draw every away game, but if we did (on average) we would be promoted. KIts a question of arithmetic.

I'm absolutely chuffed with our start but agree with what some other posters are trying to say. If we really want to compete at the top end of the division we need to be winning these games. 7 points from 3 games is still superb, lets make it 10 from 4 on saturday!

One match at a time, we are by no means Top 6 material at present, but who gives a Donald? Roll on Blackburn then Ipswich. Der der der der der der der der.
**** me, you're all too ****ing stupid
We're not going to win all our home games, so we will need to win some away games, draws won't be enough.

lol last season i don't think we 'came out of the blocks' for entire matches
No I didn't. I can add, of course that would be good enough. But 'win at home, draw away' is a common cliche that is wrong, not because it wouldn't give you enough points mathematically, but because it suggests that draws away from home are enough, and they're not.
Indeed, I'm delighted with the points tally so far, just disagree with one old cliche.

I am going to remain positive with an air of caution.

Your support is not that great
Happy that with the side still gelling, new (and possibly key) players still to come into the side and a new system in place, we've dropped only two points in three games - with two of those away from home.
As learning curves go this one seems pretty painless. Well played lads.
