And the table reflects the current form of the division. We have with the notable exception of Rotherham played teams exclusively either above us, or around us form wise.
We have a team where three senior players neither knew each other, nor their team mates four games and approx' four or five weeks ago. We have lost our strongest player from last season and enjoy a rotating central defensive central pairing. Our first choice goal keeper played three, or was it four First Team Games over the past two seasons.
We were probably considered a nice soft three points by a lot of teams we have played so far. Chris Houghtons face and body language said it all when his goalie got himself sent off [we should have been beating this lot easily, what happened doh] .
Doug has done very well in the transfer market and taking seven points out of twelve, disguises how close we have been to pushing into the top six.
I think that we're only going to get better as the season develops; anything higher than 8th will be very good and a sound basis for pushing on with the squad and manager next season.
The Table Doesn't Lie

If you're taking the title of this shambolic article, then yes Rotherham are shocking. They are bottom of the league.
Thanks

Don't try to police my thread sheepster ok?
Rotherham are merely one point behind the mighty Preston who you cheated out of a home point. I'll admit that it was a good win against Reading who are doing well at present in good form, but are you not Champions Elect?
Look at all the money that candy crush monkey is splashing around?
Must be galling to have such a slow start and six points still to lose against us your illustrious and superior rivals!
Can you realistically finish in the top eight? or are you going to be really sheep poo for the whole season?
Deep down you already realise that's the answer is YES! thats why your on here talking sk ite. [the k is a h sheepster]

I think the table lied when you lot were top of the league last year...but credit to you for a good start, if you finish top 8 with your squad that will be an amazing achievement.
Haven't seen much of you to be honest this year so can't judge properly, but get the sense you're punching above your weight, not gonna lie I thought you lot were gonna go be close to the drop this season though. I think momentum is important in this league and reckon Derby are starting to build up a head of steam, wheras Forest are at full steam.
Shaping up for a nice game on 6th November.

Hardly amazing 2W! It's a decent squad so top 10 is about par. If we finish higher it will be down to good management but won't be amazing. I agree that our start to last season wasn't an accurate reflection of the quality of the side. We were good but not that good. You should watch some games because we're not as bad as you thought I don't think.

The table doesn't lie; it does make predictions either.
It is what it is.

Didn't Billy say "it is what it is" sometime recently. Are you planning on getting him back?

The beauty of this league is that there are no 'dead certainties' in predicting football results. Any team can beat any other team [on the right day] still holds true!
What can be said though, is that on a pounds per point basis we are a far more financially efficient team than you bunch of wooly bleaters!
Fulham presented a lesson that candy crush puppet didn't bother to learn it seems!
