Damn, seven point leads in October can never be overturned!
It's not that as much as us not being off to a fast start.
Our top 4 finishes recently (16/17, 13/14, and 08/09) all had fast starts.
In the other years, we almost always get off to slow starts and are playing catch up the entire season. We're always just a bit off but never make a run and then we're out of the top 4.
Not saying that's what's going to happen this year, but some people are getting a bit antsy. A sense of deja vu for some, especially when you factor in the unlucky nature of our results.
Of course, it's very early, but there are worrying signs, especially with a lot of dropped points due to our poor defending.
