The current situation sums the teams up perfectly IMO. We aren't a top 6 side currently based on the quality these top 6 teams have, but we'll compete week in week out with the next 6 around us. So fkin tight. Tighter than my misses, and that's a massive shout.

The stand out thing for me is Preston only scoring 14 times yet are one point off of fifth place. Think Burnley will comfortably win the league but the other places are anyones and most certainly achievable if we can push on after the break. This division is much more interesting than the premier.
 
we'd be a match for a lot of teams at home i feel if we went up.

not that i think we will. we so far lack the quality. the small percentages that mean things are created otu of nothing.
 
Blackburn 2nd and have lost nearly half their games. Madness.

It is a horrible league to predict, every games is competitive and two wins can transform your league position.

Irony upon irony given the criticism of Rowett drawing games over the last few seasons is that if we'd converted a few of those losses into draws we'd be 5th.
 
If we did play in the prem half the teams would just turn up and think they could win ,I think we could turn a fair few over at home, what I wouldn't want is to spend all the money like forest and still be shit, buy all the young talent in the championship and secure the clubs future, saying that if we ever went more than 6 down I would have to punch the ref to get the game abandoned never in my life would I want to see us concede 7 or more . I've seen us lose 6-2 away at sunderland 0-6 at home to grimsby 0-6 brum when we clapped them off for the effert but never anymore than that
 
Perfect reason to get a season ticket & reduce the day triplets chance of getting tickets
True, we'd quite likely double our season ticket sales, many lapsed supporters would return. We'd still get the strays and soccercunts that follow the premier, no doubt a few of those would become ST holders as well.
