Still too soon...

Noticed one the 3CR commentators calling us genuine promotion contenders at the final whistle but I think it's still too soon.

We've had the best FL start in our history but looking back at many of the teams we've played there hasn't been much quality or any real promotion contenders yet except Huddersfield, who we suffered our only defeat of the season to.

We can only play who is front of us but after the Orient game I came away wondering how we'd lost control of the game so quickly when, at 3-1 up, I thought we'd add a few more and finish with a comfortable margin. We did defend well though after losing Pidge.

Our away form has been good enough with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, so I do think if we keep up that sort of average we'll finish in the top 2, but our next two league games are the first real litmus test for this team.

4pts from the Lincoln and Bradford games and remaining in the top 2 by the start of November would start putting us in the conversation for maybe a top 6 finish. Even then, given our Jekyll and Hyde seasons I'm still apprehensive as hell.

To be clear, right now I wouldn't change much at all and certainly if we keep up these results I can't see how we wouldn't go up...

But for me it still feels a bit too soon to be talking about being promotion contenders.
