OK, so it's been 6 league games now and with a mini break upon us due to International's, I reckon it's a good time to take stock of where we are.
On the plus side, we seem pretty solid at the back...although we've not really been tested by any of the (so called) top teams as yet....but 17 games unbeaten is impressive by anyone's measure.
On the down side, we struggle to unlock teams or keep them under sustained pressure. Even on Saturday against Peterborough, I thought we laboured badly in the first half (despite going 2-1 up), although improved second half.
For me we've yet to fully gel as a team, perhaps because JM is still experimenting with formation / players best positions?
12 points from 18 is ok, but I would have expected at least a couple more tbh.
So....I'm cautiously optimistic at this stage and reckon we've got a good shot at being top 6 come next May.
