I'm loving it, the step up is more evident than going up from say, league 1 to championship, the players first touch has to be good or the ball is gone, one mistake and the opposition is in our box, but I'm a lot less nervous than last season.

They were all away games where its always going to be hard to get a result. The key to staying up is good home form which we have.

I think we have played really well at times this season bar the odd couple of games.

Its a very tough and competitive league and takes many millions of investment to make the step up from the championship.We're doing well and if we stay injury free and get a couple more players in January then we'll be fine and playing in the premier this time next year.

More than happy Dai, were virgins to the Premier League, our manager is, 90% of our team are and we are giving teams a tough time and are getting the points, we must stay out of the bottom 3. :ayatollah: :malky: :ayatollah:

I'm loving every minute of it and can honestly say I came into this season with no expectations other than a fight for survival (one which I was/am confident of achieving) :ayatollah:

To date, our manager and our players and our fans at the stadiums (home and away) have been superb! :ayatollah:

The word 'expectation' doesn't belong to THIS season, but the fact that people are beginning to think that way bears testament to what has gone on (on the POSITIVE front) at our great club over recent months :ayatollah:

Loving it; just loving it!!

Hull have had easier home games, we will pass them and a few others as the season goes on.

We have had Man City, Man U, Spurs, Everton, Newcastle and the weakest team Swansea, and have yet to play the bottom two.

We are in a false position due to the fixture list, we should be higher than Swansea, I think we will finish between 9th and 13th now which is higher that I would have thought before th season started :ayatollah: :malky:

Well done Malky and the team you have excelled :malky:

Of course it all depends on Malky staying or if not who replaces him ???

Loving being in the big league, making the most of it just in case this is a flash in the pan. But I think we will stay up with a few additions in Jan. More than happy with Malky and the effort the team are putting in, long may it continue. Still pinch myself that we are actually in the prem and holding our own.

Long may it continue!!!

With the fixtures we had at the start of the season, I hoped that if we were out of the bottom 3 after the Arsenal game then we would stay up. It looks like we will be and I remain confident.

I am also encouraged by the fact thAt in addition to Palace , Hull and Fulham, who I expected to be in the bottom 3, Norwich and Sunderland also are poor.

I'm quietly confident we can make it, without getting over confident yet :malky:
