This Division is Crazy

I presume most people on here were at the Burnley game last week and saw that they were, at best, a bit shit.
They currently sit in third position in the Championship.

Mad division.

Forget Burnley!

Blackpool are top and Bolton are bottom!!!!

Long way to go... Crazy start though.

Blackpool may do OK, but Bolton at the foot is just as mad!

Still early days though, they were just above the relegation zone when we played them at the Amex last year and look how they finished, we were good but they were THE in-form side!

Bolton won't stay bottom and Blackpool were always going to do well. Leicester are surprisingly wobbly though.

Yeah I remember thinking that they were much lower than I expected, and then they went on a great run.
Tough division this.

I didn't expect anything more than a mid table finish for Blackpool... Like I said long way to go but they could be this seasons real surprise package...

We're currently in 13th, if the ball hadn't been cleared off the line in the 93rd minute we'd have been 6th fine margins once again in a league of 24 average teams again no one superior (well maybe QPR)but apart from that anyone can get close to a top 6 finish in this league

You don't have to be crazy to play here, but it helps.

Also: It's too early to draw any conclusions.

This!

And I expect there will be some crazy results later on in the season, when the bottom teams win matches against the top teams, a.l.a. last season ???

Even though its early days the table, with a few exceptions, is taking form, broadly rather than precise positions. Above us I'd say only B'muff and maybe Blackpool and Burnley look out of place and below us only Bolton.

It's definitely not too early to see that if we keep our current midfield the way it is we will lose a lot more than we win. Heaven forbid if ulloa gets injured.

I love this division, so competitive and so unpredictable.

We've won two and lost two, so what exactly do you base that on?

so i'm 1 loss away from being correct then.

I don't expect everyone to agree with me, far from it, but I think we lack pace and power in midfield and agustein and crofts are easy to play against. That said, once we get players back from injury there's no way that midfield will remain the same.
