  1. It's only worrying according to your expectations. Look at who we have played; Brum (pending) in the form of their lives, MBoro - many people's tip, Sheffield Weds - free scoring forum, Brentford - many's outside tip, Burnley - largely prem squad and Leeds - solid championship fare. 

    Have you really not seen enough so far across some very tough games that once we start playing lesser opposition we should tick along nicely. 

    Worrying if you expected playoffs, but if you were reasonable about our opening fixtures I think our performances have been encouraging. Maybe I have my head in the sand but we're trying to go toe to toe with these established side and so they are going to be open affairs. Says a lot that it's hard to rule us out of this game already. 

    Will we still be saying this when we play Derby, Wolves, the other 2 sides who came down, Reading, etc?

    Our defeat there is Sheffield Wed's only win so far by the way, they'll be nearer the bottom than the top in my opinion.

  2. I know this is stronger opposition etc but we looked more together as a unit in the first game at Sheffield Utd last season than we do today.

    You're right.

    It is stronger opposition.

    Those who have posted this summer about the gap "not being great" are completely deluded.

    The wake up call here is that every point at this level needs to be won and our summer recruitment (which virtually started on Thursday) has left us behind the rest.
