To be fair lusty picking up bits of luck is a decent habit to have, we've had the opposite habit long enough.
But having been to the Sheff Utd game and reading the reports of Blackpool and Wimbledon we had more than enough chances to win all those games easier. Yes we had to defend at times but we did it well (apart from lapses against Blackpool) and will always have to as we haven't got a dominant team.
But we also had bad luck with chances missed as well so it balances out.
Apart from the injury to Wheater, our luck definitely seems better this season. Some people say you have to make your own luck so maybe it's a reflection on the team's improvement but it's early days yet so I'll sit on the fence for a while as regards where we are at as a team.
I believe in football you do make your own luck to a degree, if you create more chances and make more efforts on goal you will get lucky more times than if you make less and if you limit your opposition to few chances the odds on them getting lucky are reduced.
In terms of injuries there are several factors - training methods, playing an effective system so people have to make less reckless/last ditch challenges, and keeping the ball so you defend less and have to run less

Sounds like backs to the wall for the second half but we're getting into the right habits, get a couple more forwards in and maybe 1 good midfielder now Pratleys out and we are heading in the right direction

A good win, top of the league, 3 of the next 4 games at home - it's all looking good.

Which means there's a fuck up just around the corner.

Parkinson out!

I think we finally have a manager who knows how to win games, previously we have had Lennon who when Mjallby left was clueless, Freedman who set out not to lose, but was clueless when we went a goal down, Coyle who was unlucky with Muamba and Holden, but in the end clueless, and Megson, well less said the better, let's all enjoy the ride.

3 wins in a row.

Fleetwood will probably beat us on saturday and bring us all down to earth with a bang! Let's hope not! If we beat Fleetwood we're on our way, the rest will be playing catch up!

We're gonna lose aren't we?

Profuse apologies we're still not mathematically safe - Parkinson out, Anderson out, where are the ST when you need them

I would like to see us a bit more on the front foot against Fleetwood.

Yep. I think we've been shaky in all 3 wins, hanging on to a one goal lead. It's a good habit to win games that perhaps you don't deserve to, but soon I fear we will have a reality check and start slipping down the table. Part of me wants to believe we are good enough to win this league but we need more signings and that might not happen.

Good start though. Last time we had a good start to a season I was watching bolton playing leeds at elland road while we were sitting top of the prem. 2004/5 i think
