Just watched Bolton v Reading,seen several other games in this league obviously including all of ours,not seen anyone better than us so far,therefore we have a very good opportunity of doing very very well.

I have faith in the manager's way of thinking. The fact that we will have total control of the ball in nearly all matches means we will dominate most games.
We do need to improve chance creation and I still think we need around three additions because injuries can play their part.
But we can't complain with 10 points from the first four.
Luton is the big test on Saturday. I still believe they'll win the league and probably beat us. As long as we don't get thrashed, I can accept that - because we won last night.

I've confidence that BBM knows what he needs to improve on and will drilling thr players to work on weaknesses. We are already a millions miles away from our shameful corners and free kicks from last season.
Riza didn't address any glarinb issues. BBM strikes me as a bit like Warnock who always worked on the teams failings from bad performances

I agree this league is for the taking, a very very weak poor league and add another 3 quality players and Top 2 for us come May 2026

A few things still worry me 1
If any injuries or suspensions to either lawlor or fish and with darland likely to leave means we have chambers nope please
2 if selech picks up an injury he gets battered every game for me Robinson isn't a replacement a different type of player do we change the system to suit Robinson? Or do we play Davies I'm not confident he can play the front line like selech again do we change the way we play to suit?
Left fullback been a problem for quite a few seasons now began doing well yes but again injury or suspension hmm just a few things mainly about reinforcements

Bolton held it back to the rate that the Jacks used to, with their keeper happy to keep the ball at his feet until Reading pressed.
It'll be interesting if he'll do that when 3-0 down against us!
Agreed, nothing to be scared of.
Osei-Tutu (ex bluebird) had a decent game linking with Amario Cozier-Duberry who I thought was MOTM. Savages boy was poor.

Maybe not to be scared of but a few things to be "wary" of:-
Injuries
Suspensions
Complacency

Agree the standard has been poor so far to say the least. I started a thread before the season saying we should win our first 4 games but 10 points minimum so far so good.
There's been a lot more positive signs than negative in the first few games.
The main thing for me is we finally have an identity and we can see what BBM is trying do, something we haven't had since Warnock. Totally opposite styles but an identity nonetheless.
Saturday against Luton away on paper is probably the hardest game of the season.
It will be interesting to see if we can dominate the ball and pin them back like we have all the other sides so far.
If we can I don't think any other side in this league will be able to go toe to toe with us.
My only concern is will BBM have a plan B if they opposition start to dominate the ball. Saturday will be a good marker of where we are as a team.

I seen the Bolton v reading game and I think the standard of this league is quite poor hopefully we can get a few signings in and I think we will do well
