Gladbach go to mid-table FC Union Berlin today and after a month at the top of the table, their fans are dreaming about a first Bundesliga title since the 1976-77 season.
"Que sera, sera - German champions next year!" sang home fans at Borussia Park after Gladbach beat Werder Bremen 3-1 last time out in the league when winger Patrick Herrmann netted twice in an impressive display.
"Of course our fans are allowed to dream, but we can't sing along with them - we have to stay grounded," said Rose, 43, who took charge of Gladbach after leading Red Bull Salzburg to last season's Austrian league title.
"The first few weeks of the season were tough," Rose admitted after drawing with Schalke and losing 3-1 to RB Leipzig in their opening home games
