Funny old game

[Alpine White]

Before the season started, I, like most people on here it seemed, thought:

1. We'll badly miss Tom Clarke
2. Tough first few fixtures and will be hard to get to 7 points from 5 games
3. At least we'll score plenty of goals with all that pace up front

Two games in:

1. First class defending and two clean sheets
2. Very respectable 4 points form two games (promotion form if we keep that up 😎)
3. NO goals from open play, just DJs penalty after Hugill bullied the defence into knocking him over

I still think the goals will come, hopefully at Derby. If we match that with keeping it tight and then get Clarke back in the new year things are looking good!

If you could predict what would happen in football with any confidence then there would be no point playing the matches.

Obviously Clarke will eventually come back into the team, but Spurr & Hunts have been brilliant.

Hopefully - which is why we don't need a permanent signing in that area of the team just a loan to get us through to the New Year when we can assess things again. If Clarke is fully fit by then we can even think of shedding a player by maybe sending Boyle out on loan leaving us with Clarke, Huntington, Spurr and Davies.

And although it's early looks like Wolves could be the team at the top, other big Guns all off to faltering starts.

With a little bit of luck I am convinced we will be at the top end, its just convincing everyone else!

Keep that first place in focus

it's certainly achievable - the other
teams will take points off each other

A vg start so far

Not bothered about convincing anyone else, more than happy for us to keep plugging away and picking up points and pissing off opposition fans.

If we keep hold of Hugill there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't finish in the top 6, forget about how much money other teams have spent this is the most exciting north end team I've seen for a very long time! fully of young hungry talent.

I agree.
