If we get our shit together, and CC picks the line up we're wanting to see ( drop Wallace and/or reshuffle Abdi in the pack. Start Buckley/Jones

We might, just might put in a good shift and take a point from the Trees. We're not winning that game, I've seen them and I've seen us. they're better at the moment. I knew deep down we wouldn't beat Brum so I opted for the draw, we couldn't even hold on to that

There's nothing wrong with being positive. but one of my mates is on some hard drugs it seems, actually believes we could nick 2nd??? and most certainly take a top 6 spot.

How you can watch us lose 3 out of 8 and barely perform in the other 5 and still come to that conclusion is fantastic. All we have done is solidify our status as a top half Champ team with the past few seasons of Investment. Some have found themselves carried too far away by the over-achievement last season, expecting all we need is a tweak in order to be a top class team in this division.

Nuhiu wouldn't see the pitch if this were the case, Semedo as much as he's loved wouldn't be re-signed taking a squad place when we should be constantly striving for improvement. Wallace, as Nuhiu was last season, is now a player to be phased out by better.
My argument isn't that we aren't improving, its that we haven't improved enough for the goals set by the Chairman.

Personally I'm let down greatly by what I've seen pre-season and now 8 games in to the season. From recruitment to results on the pitch. My standards aren't arbitrary, they were set by Mr. Chansiri last year

Not going to beat Forest.

Wednesday fans generally seem to over react to each result so in some eyes, we have gone from world beaters on Tuesday to hopeless cases today.

In reality, this division is very close and if we can improve by 10% then we could win most matches but if we get worse by 10% then we could lose most matches.

There will be teams that hit a run & win 7 or 8 matches on the trot. Hopefully, we will be one of those teams although to believe we are entitled to be one would be foolhardy.

You're likely right, MS.

I'm not one that believes we're hopeless. I do however, believe we're not up to scratch for the target set. It's still very early on, 38 ( or even 41) more games to go and anything can happen this is very true. Five wins on the trot makes an enormous difference. We'd need to improve vastly for this though.

Starting on the back foot due to various schoolboy errors does not bode well.
