Chris Hughton has achieved in 7 (seven) games what it took Sami Hyypia 22 games (which was also the whole of his Albion career) to achieve.
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen points.

Yes, I thought yesterday that we're going to Wolves (the eighth game of the season) with more points than we did last season (the 22nd game). Amazing turn around from last year.

How soon is now?
It's immense, but we need to take them all where we can as there will be a wobble at some point(but hopefully not got a long while)

Good innit! When was the last time we had 19 points or equivalent after 7 games? I am guessing that this is our best start in the second tier ever

We have already had 2 wobbles at the Amex - Bruce and Evans.
I was wondering the same thing - has to be, shirley? Must be there or thereabouts for best ever start to any season ever, too??

Remember all those people who were complaining about the Semi out chants and saying we should get behind him?

Next obstacle to overcome is to win a game in October, which something none of our previous managers at the Amex, have achieved.

Last team to get to 19 points by 7 games in the Championship was QPR in September 2010.

I'd rather BOAST after a lot more than 7 games, far too early to get above ourselves

In 2007/8 Watford had 35pts from 15 games and were 8pts clear at the top. They finished 6th have garnered only another 35pts from their next 31 games...
Since them, in each of the last 7 seasons, the team top of the Championship after 15 games (early November) has ended the season promoted to the Premier League. I refuse to get even mildly enthusiastic until at least November.

It wouldn't surprise me if I was one of them, and nothing's changed. When doing badly, we need to get behind the team and let the board sort out the managerial problems.
It is far too early, but we're allowed to at least be happy we're doing well, and look back in horror at last season.
Let that be a lesson. Because I'd be very happy to be on 35 pts after 15 games, but it's still no guarantee.

Closest I can find for Div2 is 77-78 when we started with 5 wins and 2 draws.
I think, but it will need verifying, that this is our equal second best start ever. 1957-8 6 wins and a draw. (lost game 8)
Our best ever, again I think, was 1953-4 - 7 wins and 1 draw. (lost game 9).
So I reckon this is our best start to a season for 58 years.

Except, of course, that in this instance you're entirely wrong. The club had no plans to sack the clueless one and it was almost exclusively the reaction of the fans at the Milwall game that drove him to decide to resign. So, we the fans saved our Championship status.

It's not boasting, or getting ahead or above ourselves - it is the statistics right now. Not seen many comments getting above ourselves at all. But **** me, most of us will enjoy a great run while we can!!!
