Dowie is not worried yet, but says Christmas will be the time to assess their progress, while he warned that the players will have to take on the challenge of being favourites in games.
"The expectation surrounding the club is something we are going to have to cope with," he said.
"Come Christmas time I want people to talk about us as promotion candidates. We want to make the dream come true, but it is going to take a lot of hard work."
