The first 10 games are now done
4 Wins against Leicester, Ipswich, Derby, Charlton
4 Draws against QPR, Middlesbrough, Bristol City, Hull
2 Defeats against Portsmouth & West Brom

I think many of us on here were very worried when the fixtures came out on how we would do. Credit has to go to PH and the coaching staff for the start we have made to be currently 8th after 10 games playing the teams we have is a brilliant start. We where only seconds away from beating Middlesbrough and a better second half at Hull we could be sitting 2nd now.

We look a much better outfit then last season in both defensively and attacking and going to Deepdale at the moment is actually enjoyable. The positivity around the place at the moment is really good and most of that will be down to results and performances.

It is a long old season and there will be many bumps along the road but from what I have seen so far we are in no danger of what happened last season. A midtable finish is what I am expecting but who knows maybe we can push the top 6. We keep up or brilliant home form and pick up our away form you just never know. We still need to strengthen in January with another wing back and a striker.

Would give our start an 8/10
 
Definitely a much better start to the Season that many of us possibly feared, at least before the really good transfer window.
There IS a much better 'vibe' about the place now, but its a long season and some of the quality loans & signings haven't either played full seasons or are stepping up. The signs are good though and not many of us (not even Ando) fear relegation now.
So,
IF we can be there or thereabouts still by the end of February and then put a run together at the end, then we can dream of further, for now lets just garner the points and stay well away from the trapdoor.
Good solid start 7.5/10
 
I think and hope we will get stronger. Obviously ridiculously we still have the potential of a long Milly ban yet but even so. I think the young loads lads and Small will pick up pace as the season moves on and we do have some experience coming back soon hopefully with Thompson, Potts and Brady.

Its a very solid start anyway.
 
And we have been without arguably our best player so far this season in Pol Valentin for the last 3 games.
Any updates on his injury and when he is likely to be back available?
