Ulloa 3 months? I'd be interested to hear where this insider info comes from. We were told 2 months just over 2 weeks ago.
We've been told that Bridcutt is coming back in two weeks for over 2 months.

No, to be fair I didn't go, and I realise it is a lot easy to say 'don't panic' and 'it's only October' when you haven't travelled a couple of hundred miles to see us perform terribly. But, don't panic, it's only October. This season was never going to be as good as last season.
I do agree to a point. But regardless of the personnel he should be able to stamp a shape and system of play on the team. It isn't happening and we are going backwards. I will be delighted when we do get all of our players back, and hopefully Oscar will then get us playing.........
Judge OG when our four best players return from injury - right now he's had to perform with one hand tied behind his back
While this is fair I still have this nagging doubt about his personality. He seems too reserved, too much of a gentleman, too unemotional. It's as though he somehow lacks confidence and if he's getting the tactics wrong too that plus his reserved demeanor may mean he loses the players confidence, especially after GP who was the polar opposite.
You see, that's where I do disagree. I honestly believed that Oscar would come in, do a few tweaks, perhaps faster build-up, and we'd be away. Other than the first half vs Birmingham and 10 mins vs Bolton, we just haven't played well.
That's the crux of the matter right there - people expected him to hit the ground running and there are occasions where it just doesn't happen.
People have assumed that because he pissed the league with Maccabi Te-Aviv he'll do the same here - he won't. People expect us to piss the league after our efforts last season. We won't.
The glass-eyed, slack-jawed troglodytes that have decided we're shit and will be relegated just need a reality check and to get their head out of their own arses.
It's the same Hoskins that went to Sheffield United because he couldn't play in the championship with a hernia. When he didn't have a hernia he looked very good. Then a goalkeeper knocked his knee whilst he had all his weight on that leg. If he wasn't so unlucky with injury I think he would have been very good for us.I love the way people talk about us missing Hoskins, is this the same player who went on loan to Sheff United as he was crap ?

Instead our shape is wrong, he's had the forwards rotating whereby Ulloa has been out wide at times, we play narrower than last year and also play longer at times.
I'm not worried as such more frustrated.
I remain confident he'll turn it round, just need a run, and some players back.

I don't know why anyone thought that. People got carried away with last season and thought we should have done better than we did. We did what we did because of Gus. It was his team, his big plan, and this season would have been the season where it was completed. Instead, it all went pear shaped and we've been knocked back a couple of years.
I think Oscar will come good, he's been seriously unlucky so far, but anyone who thought we were going to piss the league this season was deluded, and didn't understand what a good manager Poyet was.
As for people already starting to slate Oscar for not having enough charisma or not being opinionated enough, seriously, grow the **** up, that's the exact opposite that you were slating Poyet for last year. Alex Ferguson wasn't exactly the most charismatic man on the planet, was he?
Agree and I think to add .......Momentum is a massive thing in sport and last season we were still riding it hard . I think even with Poyet this season that momentum had run its course and if he was still in charge we wouldn't be a million miles better .

No we haven't...
Yes we have.
No we haven't.
You mean we hit the ceiling?
