Duracell Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Well as we all know after watching years of football, the table after 7 matches played gives you an excellent idea of how teams will finish, and if we were promoted after this pathetic start it would be unprecedented in the world of football. Just look how accurate last season's table was after 10 games on September 30th 2014. The warning signs were already there for last season's strugglers Bournemouth - after losing 2-0 to Derby with a meagre 5 shots registered in the entire match and only 43% possession, they were 8 points behind 2nd place Nottingham Forest, whose flying start was of course the key ingredient in their promotion to the Premier League last season.

JW37 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 They've got some quality players.Mo Diame is comfortably the best midfielder in this league.'comfortably'??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Chelsea have 4 points from 5 games....so that must mean they will finish bottom half of the PL. why bother with the remaining 30+ games if the table is set in stone by mid september...wish i had known this when shelling out for a season ticket for the last 15 years.

Gary Teale Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 For me I still think we will be up at the top as I think we look pretty solid and have plenty of options attacking wise. I will have a little moan though as I don't think we are going to be a great side to watch and on the evidence I have seen thus far I believe Clement's style is quite pragmatic.

King Kevin Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Anyway Chris Martin has the hex on Brighton so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diag Ram Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Predicted Brighton would do well, Hughton is a very good manager at this level. But they haven't lost yet, and we will see how good a side they are after they lose their first game. Forest capitulated after that last year.

-JW- Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 'comfortably'???Sorry, was a bit of an understatement wasn't it.'Best midfielder in the league by a million miles' is more apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Why are you looking at the league table ? I'll be looking at it after 15-20 games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloughandtaylor Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Not worried because Brighton have not played a good side yet. Their fixtures have been kind so far, but come December they play all the teams I would expect to be in the promotion race.They have a coach that knows how to get out of then division......He also gets his teams to gel even with average players.....

cloughandtaylor Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Why are you looking at the league table ? I'll be looking at it after 15-20 games in. Because the table is now leveling out and both Brighton and Boro are now playing well...At this time last season the top two in Sept 14 both ended getting promoted.

Duracell Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Because the table is now leveling out and both Brighton and Boro are now playing well...At this time last season the top two in Sept 14 both ended getting promoted.Did you see my table a couple of matches later on the 30th?Forest joint top on points.Bournemouth 15th.Only half of the top 6 at that point made it.Two of the eventual top 6 weren't in the top half of the table.

Alph Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The table isn't leveling out. Some will stick, some will drop. Have the same arguments every year. Every year. Same with pre season friendlies. Every year it's the same argumentsEvery year the same happens. Some stick and some drop and you can't predict which is which. Every year some teams with poor pre season start the season well and teams with great pre seasons start off at snail pace. But we'll have the same discussions next September.

Wolfie20 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Leicester on for Champions League spot.Well, after 5 games, according to some on here, that makes them cast iron certainties and Chelsea to get relegated (I wish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby_Dave Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What has supporting Forest got to do with saying for our massive outlay on transfer fees our league position is currently unacceptable. Really? Not got much patience have you?At the end of the season our current position would be unacceptable but right now we are just finding our feet and with two of our new signings only having played 2 games I would say right now 10th is perfectly acceptable.
