    For me, on many occasions (after the world cup break) I thought we played some tidy football, although let down by either not putting the ball into the net or defensive errors. On balance It needed tweaking... With a few quality players to give us that edge and to have cover when others got injured....We had a tempo about us that I liked (quick).....we just need to go that one step further to progress IMO without losing the intensity we had..

    The idea is to get a vibe before the season starts to see who predicts correctly.

    You should not vote when the season has started that is like saying what's the score after the result.

    But that's just random and a complete lottery and total guess work......After 10-12 games you get more an idea how the team is made up and how we compete..

    We don’t know at this point what are team makeup will be, it’s like making a prediction blindfolded, with your hands tied behind your back.

    For instance is Scott going to remain with us?, if not will we replace him, and if so who with. These are questions that could have a huge impact on how well we do.

    true you get a clearer picture of how other teams most now very different to last season as players have left for dosh or been ex communicated! Some have sort of rebuilt .. 6 players or more is a guide to rebuilding
    10 mgames on here has usually been the yardstick as to how we fare .............

    I’ll be disappointed if we don’t finish at least 10th which we should easily manage imo.

    On paper at the moment it is indicating there are about 12 teams plus city in with a squeak! however the odd one tends to spoil the apple cart and instead of being bottom contender is actually up there.
    I didnt do a Luton stats appreciation ... who they beat lost to but a team that is average or just above could lose all their games v top 6 win all the games v bottom 6 [ at time of playing ] and be a contender like Luton were!???? and gain 1.5 pts against tghe remaining and finish up on 69 plus points!

    The only thing we can control is the controllable, win lots of games and we’ll be there or there abouts. Fail to win games, likelihood is we won’t. It’s really simple.

    A good first 3 games would be nice....I'd rather be in a position where we have a bubble to burst rather than have no bubble at all.. :emoticon-0103-cool:
