I've noticed there's a few injuries happening to our rivals and the cloggers, like Wycombe, will have regular suspensions. The Oxford v Wycombe game was a kicking match yesterday ....

.... we must have the best squad in the league, in terms of depth and versatility, so I've officially abandoned all caution and expect us to finish top.

I don't believe in jinxes and can't see anyone better than us.
Was going to post something similar. In the past, a couple of injuries/suspensions and we were found wanting. Now I’m looking forward to seeing some of our squad players getting a game.
 
It’s a funny league this year.
Wigan 2nd have only lost one game - to us
Wimbledon 4th have only lost one game - to us
MK Dons 5th have only lost one game - to us
Wycombe 9th have only lost one game - to us
That seems weird somehow.
But it seems to show just how efficient we are at the moment.
It’s astonishing, and wonderful.
 
... in their own words from around 606.

Charlton: "That first half was as bad as anything I've ever seen from Charlton."

Ipswich: "One of the worse things is we still haven't played the better teams in this division yet."

Portsmouth: "Well the wheels have fallen off the promotion bus."

Just made me laugh, yeah I know it's daft at this stage ...

... feel free to add your own.
"We haven't signed any fullbacks" Oh sorry, that was one of our fans
 
Some strange results yesterday Smug which just made out three points even more important.
Bolton could be dark horses but as you say its still early days.
Have you seen that Santos play? If we don't target him as a weakness then we must be mad...Put him up against a decent side because he is An accident that's happened and getting worse each week.
 
IIRC, apart from Wigan, the next six or seven teams have played a game more ...

... they're in a 'playing catch up' situation we've had for the last few seasons.

Being top in September doesn't win you anything but it's the best place to be.

Damn that Burton result.
Still, IMO, our best performance of the season!
