    I agree with Swale on this, yes we should and we will be going for 3 points but 1 point way from home is acceptable!

    complacent? no chance. all we have to do is turn up and we'll win...what's complacent bout that? :-O

    as for a point being acceptable, it's really isn't. if we're going for automatic promotion and everyone else is beating blackpool then we need to be doing too.

    the difference between top 2 and top 6 is that the top 2 win a lot of games away from home whereas the top 6 draw them. we're a team that play pretty much the same style away as we do at home (as all the top sides do) so I thoroughly expect us to win.

    As I thought Blackpool gave us a hard game and a pt would have been a good result, however to get the win was excellent in testing conditions.

    Nice that we are top of the division, but now expect expectations to get even more unrealistic - we should win every game against teams in the bottom half etc etc, when realistically the gap between all the teams is not that big and any team can beat another.

    It looks like being a very tight top 6 this season.

    A point wouldn't have been acceptable. If we got a point we'd be second still. We'd have missed our chance to go top by drawing 0-0 with Millwall and would have missed it again by drawing 0-0 with Blackpool. It's so important we don't pass such great opportunities by. We've made it to the summit, now the next challenge is to stay there for the next 33 games!

    So long as we only slip one position everything will be golden.

    Oh absolutely, would love to see us keep a winning streak and stay top building up a good cushion of points.

    However, its early in the season to be worried about being top, it looks good, but come May means nowt and as long as we are within 4 or 5 pts of top at the turn of the year I'd be more than satisfied.

    The games against the bottom clubs are unpredictable, but its good to see we can cope with a batlling sdie and come out on top.
