A good start but too early yet to be over excited. Injuries will have a huge say if promotion is on, and the thin squad in certain areas may disadvantage the club.
However with plenty of good fortune and luck, then top 2 is the minimum to be expected from a poor league.
It would be lovely to be back in the Championship by May and with new owners as well.
We go up, palace, millwall and west ham down, roly completes the training ground and then clears off and then we can have a proper tilt at the premiership with a top class academy in our locker - playing at a sold out valley - we've endured a bad patch but honestly think this is the start of a more sustainable period of success - which, like the return to the valley and subsequent prem years, will be even sweeter for having endured the crap. The on pitch performance now needs to be matched by a return of absent fans - apart from those too deeply entrenched in wallowing in their own principles, the rest will return. I do think that there are also some, that have used the 'not returning until rd has gone' line is a convenient excuse but for the rest, we just need to encourage them back down there - football turns around very quickly and for most that are missing, all they really care about is that the football and atmosphere is good.

This season we won all three games.
(can't meaningfully compare Plymouth or Rotherham).
Not used to such optimism!
Saves me coming on here Tuesday night
Let's not panic.
