What are your thoughts ?
In many cases other fans are stating it’s a false position.
Are they right ? |  |

I talk to fans of other clubs on a regular basis most think we are not in a false position (including a Millwall fan today).
Our squad unlike previous seasons is very good, I’m expecting the play offs as a minimum 👍 |  | | |

We’ll inevitably have a downturn at some point. It will all come down to how we react to that.
Encouraging thing is we were averaging almost 2 points a game under Matos last season too. If we can stay anywhere near that we’re looking 85-90 points. |  |

I certainly don't think its false we have a strong squad now definitely think we are capable of achieving at least 1.5 a game
We are now in to 3/1 to gain promotion and 11/1 to go up automatic |  |

We will have a bad patch somewhere in the season, say 3 or 4 games without a win. How we react to that will be the important thing. It is difficult to shut out all that noise and ignore the stinking thinking. It's a brilliant league but also a very tough league. Rough figures, but at least 4 teams are expecting automatic promotion with 12 expecting to be in the play-offs. We're only a quarter of the way into the season, but it is looking good! |  | | |

Its not a false position because its exactly where we are. We can probably come close to maintaining the level because of the squad debth we have, we are not reliant on one or two star players, one picks up an injury another slots in. We make changes during a game and it doesn't really weaken the team on the pitch. I certainly feel we could average close to the 2 points a game mark for the rest of the season. |  | | |

If we keep Matos and the squad, plus a couple of improvements in January and no major departures its quite possible. We are in our best position on and off the pitch for many a year. | | | |

Not in any way a false position, but it’s not one we would have expected ourselves, so you can see how fans of other clubs who are quite often biased and don’t watch much of us would think that.
As others have said, we will inevitably have a bad patch at some stage, but we 100% deserve to be where we are right now. | | | |

I don't know but I'm more in line with WR in that our squad depth is really superior to about all of the Championship clubs. Let's talk about this after we play West Ham, Middlesbrough, and Wolves. Our only loss is to Southampton who has higher odds than us to win the league. So, have we learned from that defeat? 94 points.
Here's what I stated on Sept 24, timestamped 23:45, on the thread, "Supercomputer Predictions":
I believe. I believe we have the talent both raw and experienced, excellent squad depth, a savvy manager, great fans, and the best owners. I'm predicting 28-10-8, 94 points. It will be a dogfight for the top two auto-qualifiers with WHam and Wolves with Swans being in the mix, maybe Middlesbrough but I think we have more depth than they do, maybe more depth than Wolves and WHam. | | | |

If we are up there in January, watch those half season tickets being snapped up by Premier League fans. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It's all money coming into the club do you think we have a chance of going up? | |

The last manager to be in this exact situation at the same stage of the season was Steve Cooper 2019/20. (( think that was the season) | |

Didn't Coopers team arrive in the play offs on the last game of the season, covid time. | | | |

This is where I am to be honest. We’ve only played one ‘six pointer’ to date and we lost that. Saturday will give us a better idea and after we play Wolves and Boro. That’s not to discount QPR at the moment also.
There are at least 5 clubs who’d say they are top 2 candidates and we can’t argue with that. Do we have the ability and more importantly the testicular fortitude to keep this up? As others have said, how will we react to the likely downturn in results if / when it happens?
Also, are we scoring enough goals? I don’t think we are for our position which could mean an inferior GD to others and make games more nerve wracking if we are leading by the odd goal.
It’s great so far but there’s a lot of games to come and consistency will be essential. |  |
