Joking apart - there’s a lot of mediocre teams above us.
Ie I am really astonished to see QPR and Stoke where they are. Coventry seem to grind out last minute results. Bournemouth can’t buy a win. Fulham draw 4 in a row? WBA far from convincing …
And see where Forest are from a few weeks back.
If this Lowe enthusiasm has much follow through - as it seems to have- we could be.

Blackburn seem the team to emulate at the moment .
 
I think he makes a valid point Championship is average this season still believe Bournemouth & Fulham will go up but anyone I'd beatbable and can put go run together look at Forest up there now like Boro & hopefully us PNE with new manager bounce though games over Xmas but its possible to get up there come January I think radio Lancs said few weeks ago its average this season
 
After Blackburn away last week I personally came away thinking if there in 4th then we also can be up there! Yes the pitch didn’t help but they were nothing special. Very average championship this year!
 
The transfer window in January will have a massive amount of impact where we finish this season , the championship this year apart from the top three is wide open but it’s very obvious where we need to strengthen to have any hope of making a play off challenge. The thing is we have been in this position before or even in a better position and failed to build on our chances I can’t see this season being any different. I’m sure at least a few teams around us or above us will improve their squads . It’s now down to Craig Hemmings to decide if we stick or twist be it this season or next or once again just keep us ticking over in the championship.
 
Not this season, Lowe himself has even played it down and he appears to be the most optimistic man associated with the club.

Give it 2 transfer windows and some serious wheeler dealing in order to move on a lot of players and replace with those needed to execute LoweBall and next season I see no reason why we can't be in with a good chance at a play off spot.

Clubs are skint, transfer spending does appear to be down in the championship so I reckon next season has the potential to be another relatively weak division, even when you consider the teams who might be coming down (Newcastle aside).

Build and develop this season, 22/23 will be our time.
 
Just get the 50 points needed, that will do me for this season, begin clearing out the surplus and make some decent signings.

A top half finish would be good though, coupled with decent style of play..
