by the way, grumbling is what you would call a "woody" word.

I don't think we'll stay up this season, but I hope we'll have a bloody good go. Any talk of writing off the season and it will sweep through the squad and we could go down with bugger all points.

Even if we get Falmer we're looking at it being ready in 2007, and I'm not prepared to watch shite football for 3 seasons just because "it's all about Falmer".

Wigan have beaten Millwall and West Ham away.

Plymouth have beaten Cardiff away and Sunderland at home.

Reading have beaten Sheffield Utd away.

These are the reasons that those three teams are the pacesetters - they have beaten teams which were amongst those expected to be pacesetters. The fact they have beaten us - guaranteed strugglers - is irrelevant. They've taken points off their rivals.

agreed, the teams we have lost to are 1,2,3 and 15th in the league. early doors yes, but the team we took a point from were also fancied by some this season. and not taking any points from the top 3 aint really suprising for a team that was expected to be in a relegation battle.
i think we will prove a few people wrong this season. we are only 1 win (which we will get from preston) away from being out of the relegation zone. and we have had 10 players capable of 1st team action either suspended or injured.

1 center back short of a full team. not only that but a full team which could have easily featured as starters last season, and got us promotion.
nobody can afford that, certainly not us. so its not surprising that we have only 1 point. things will get better. i have faith in that.

Surely its better to always play at the highest standard possible?

The fact that we bounced back must have something to do with the fact that we had some good players who nearly kept us in div 1 last time.

Plus McGhee is a good manager who had the team playing to its strengths.

Falmer is important, but so is keeping the team in the spotlight, and we are more likely to do that in terms of media coverage if we are playing teams like West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds, that Torquay and Hartlepool.
