What I don't get is how quickly the mood has changed. Things were so positive after the signings of Holla and Teixeira and the result at leeds. A battling draw v charlton and things were still positive. A loss to Brentford and it turned pretty quickly to very negative, even more so after today's game. The reaction seems the sort that usually only came after a run of 4 or 5 poor results.

Bigger picture is 4 losses and we are only midway through September. We have played, what looks to be the weaker sides so far and had as good as first games as we could want/expect. God knows what will happen when we play Forest etc

Unbelievable... Nailed on for the play-offs two weeks ago, according to some on here, now, according to many, utterly shyte and doomed to relegation. I suspect the reality is somewhere in between, but its early days yet. 7 games into a 46 game season is not the time to start screaming to sack the manager etc ...

It was embarrassing how people were saying such glowing things about our squad following the signing of Baldock - days after lambasting them after our first two league defeats....
Baldock is never going to be a top top goal scorer in the Championship, he is too lightweight, small and similar to CMS.

7 points out of the first 7 games, given the fixtures, is a poor return whichever way you look at it. We need to snap out as its not long before we face the bigger sides in this division.

Losing can become a habit

At the moment the team as a whole look like a mid-table side. If you think we have a better team than the last two seasons you are in denial. Hopefully I'll be jumping off this pessimistic bandwagon in January....

We don't need to sack the manager just sort the team out so that they know what they are meant to be doing

I did SCOFF at those that suggested this squad was anything close to ulloa, bridcutt, bridge, buckley, vicente etc. No where ****in near.

Not so sure it's the players. The system seems wrong for the personnel.

I'm keeping the faith anyway. Things haven't been great but we are midway through September, there is still plenty of time for us to work our way up the table. We've lost some massive players and the club have tried to replace them on the cheap, which I think was effectively them saying to us: 'we aren't going for promotion this season'. On paper I was pretty happy with our dealings by the end of the window (bearing in mind I assumed we were looking at consolidation this season with play-offs being a potentially unexpected bonus), and I still believe that as the team progresses as a unit and players like Stephens and Toko come back into the fold, we will end up comfortably mid-table at worst.

Hopefully given some time and some tweaks we will be back on the winning trail soon and we can all have a bit more of a positive outlook. In fairness, anything other than three points at home to Blackpool isn't really acceptable considering their current situation.

You always find its the ones with the biggest mouths who shout the loudest when things are not perfect and they believe there view is the only correct view and abuse anybody who disagrees.

The thought that we have paid as much for Baldock as Reading have for Murray makes me weep.

Thats cause your too stupid to realise that their wages will be very different.

of course we had a better team in the last 3 seasons than the present one, but if you sell your best players , replace them with lesser players , then get a manager who also is not as good as what we had , guess what happens ? a relegation struggle thats what happens

I shall keep the faith for a little while longer but guess what ? It won't make a scrap of difference to where we actually finish up this season. That is down to the personnel brought in and whether they or the manager are good enough.
