7 to 8 realistically
Hoping for 9

7 worried we’d get bullied and take time to show class
We did for 1 game Watford away

8 hoped we get a bit of grit early and get in and around the playoffs

9 more Hope than expectation that we could nick 2nd place late on as we built a team over the season

We’re running at about 9.8
Outstanding

I thought we would be around 6 - maybe 7 or 8 if we clicked and if we got off to a bad start a 3 or 4 was possible.

After 3 games I stopped thi king 3 or 4 and though 6 or 7

After 6 or 7 games it was 8 maybe 7

Since we beat Sunderland I have been saying we will win the league by a margin

I don't know, but I know whatever it was went to "christ, how good are we?" after the first 45 mins at Huddersfield

I’ve got a £10 on us being champions at 14/1. So I guess I’d be on a 9… however I wasn’t that confident and it certainly could have gone a different direction.
Same, even though I bet £50 each @14/1 for the title and also £100 on us to be promoted @9/2 I was expecting a 4 out of ten season, I cashed out on the 9/2 after yesterday for £533

Expectation was 5. Didn't think we were ever in danger of leaving the league at either end given the rebuild,I had us nailed on for 10-12th place.

Absolutely blown away by how well we've been doing. Still have this horrible sinking feeling that we'll be like Norwich and fall apart in the Premier League if promoted but I'm a natural pessimist. For now just enjoying the season and want to see Taylor, Churlinov, Foster and Obafemi each score before the end of the season to complete the set.
Last season I remember even close to so many players chipping in with goals was Coyle's promotion, with Alan Mahon bagging a single goal to win at QPR, Christian Kalvenes the same at Blackpool, and Ade against Chelsea in the cup. Unbelievable season so far.
