Rewind 6 weeks.... 4 points is successful. We are just getting greedy saying it minimum. This is all part of the added pain when that poor run of form comes.
4 points is an ok September - 5,6 points or more is a successful one IMO. I am genuinely expecting us to blow Birmingham away on Saturday and really hoping we don't get a reality check.
Would 3 draws be better then WDL.....obviously 4 points is better then 3, but to remain unbeaten after nine games would be pretty amazing.....either would be OK in my book 5+ would be outstanding.
I'd be a little disappointed if we dont get four points from Birmingham and Wigan
The former have had a good start but if we drop away then I expect Birmingham to do so as well so the results of these two games could mean so much come the end of the season
We have had a start to the season that has defied all expectations though so wont be surprised if we flattered to deceive in September - Just depends if the International Breaks are going to hinder our form this season or help it by giving the players a rest... As imagine at the moment, most just want to be out on the pitch playing
The next three matches will mark the end of the first 9 game block as used by Mr L Bowyer.
Last season he aimed for 18 points from each block so with 14 points so far another 4 would have us bang on target.
But after such a good start we'd all like more, that's how success increases expectations.
Personally, I think unbeaten runs can become counter-productive as sides aim to protect the run rather than win the game. See Huddersfield in 2011/12 and their run which contained lots of draws and defeats in play-offs and they still couldn't get near Powell's side.
I think Bowyer is different as his mentality is "Just win games" (remember that reductive statement @JamesSeed : - ) ) so I think he'll try to win them all.
As long as we get a win from Brum and something at Wigan it will be a good month. Leeds will be tough with a squad full of talent and promotion favourites, we shouldn't get too carried away.
On the lovesport fan’s show, I said 7pts, but I’d take 6. The only thing is how we react if we do get beat. I think we’ll be okay, based on the mentality Bowyer has installed, but you never know

Our aim of the season is to stay up so even 3 points against Wigan is acceptable.
