How soon is now?
Whilst remaining unbeaten is nice, our lack of goals resulting in wins is a worry. We've been doing very well so far, but just looking at tonight's bench exposed little quality depth. Taking off Hemed after 60 mins at nil nil could hardly be seen as ambitious

I expect we are working hard on deals for completion beginning of January not the end. i don't fear the fixture list compared to when they were released in June. 3 home games in next 4 is a key period, 10 points, possible . If Bobby is injured for more than a couple of games, will Hughton go to the loan market. Unbeaton in 8 away is a big improvement on last season, and home form now improved. Home form will be key to potential promotion. Can't see MK parking the bus on saturday, they don't play that way. 3 points going into 2 week break, gives us a chance to re-charge and review what loans if any are needed.

Didn't we win League 2 in 2002 with a series of 1-0 wins? We've got the meanest defence in the Championship, so we don't need to score loads.

Just find a striker by hook or crook and we will be fine
If you are hell bent on seeing us promoted then yes. It is a worry. However, we have now equalled in unbeaten record in the league set in the 30s (apparently). It is our best start to a season ever and we seem to have developed an absolute phobia about losing. We are now as near as dammit a third of the way through the season and right up in the mix. I am absolutely loving this season and simply refuse to pick through the slight downsides that might be there.
For what it is worth, I suspect you are right and that we don't have enough goals in us to get promoted automatically. I would like to think that being defeated so rarely would be enough to see us into the playoff zone by season's end and I would still consider that an absolute triumph regardless of the outcome. Given where we have come from last season this season remains simply superb.

Don't panic. Get two decent streakers in then we will cruise this division.

Remain unbeaten would get us into the play-offs, though. And then we'd have to be beaten not to go up.

No we haven't.
Hull have conceded three less goals than us(even boro have conceded less).

Enjoy what you got.
I was going to start a thread about Huddersfield in 2010-11 when they finished behind both us and Southampton despite going 20 games undefeated (12 wins and 8 draws).

Our unbeaten streak is preverted.
