Yes, but I don't want to support an omelette.

You don't even know what's in it yet.
Really?
We've completed 1/6th of the season, that's a fair chunk, and the only games we've got 3 points from were against what look like very poor sides.
I'm not 'seriously worried' about us going down, but that wasn't the aim for this season, the aim was top 6.

Personally, I was expecting mid-table this season regardless as I genuinely believe that giving a manager time is better than the alternative so, slipping away from playoffs won't worry me unduly.
If we get halfway through and look to be in a real relegation scrap (which I think unlikely) then I'd be slightly concerned.
No matter what's in it, I still don't support omelettes.

What if it was a meatball & cheese omelette?
When will people like you realise that omelettes have no place in 21st. century football?

Ankergren is better than Stockdale..Has he actually made a decent game saving save yet?

I don't think TB will share your sentiments. We have been top ten for the last three seasons and he expects that to continue. Football is all about gaining momentum and falling to mid-table ( which looks a bit optimistic at present ) or even the lower reaches of the table will stop that dead in its tracks. As previous posters have said, crowds will start to fall at the Amex unless results pick up. Thats what brings the crowds in....RESULTS....not gung ho, naive football, getting picked off on the counter-attack all the time.
Against the opposition so far, it is a poor start. We haven't played any of the bigger guns yet...Forest, Watford, Norwich, Derby etc. At the moment we look unbalanced, naive and vulnerable and it doesn't augur well for the weeks ahead.

I agree with that except to say that I do believe a BHAFC crowd likes attacking football and I don't think the crowds will drift if the attacking football continues. We just need a bit of tweaking. Our crosses need to be better and our full backs need to learn to block a cross. We need a very deep midfielder to play with high full backs and Ince isn't good enough (yet) and it's in unnatural to Holla. LuaLua should be on the left wing, impact sub. Not in midfield. I think Stockdale has been unlucky but he's having troubles as the opposition are getting shooting practice in with plenty of time and he's exposed with our defence all over the place when they counter.

Two of those games were before the squad had been put together. We just need it to gel now, but some of the signs are encouraging. Just need the defence to be as solid as last season (although three changes in that hasn't helped).

Worried.
I think we'll get destroyed by Forest and Watford.
Minimum we need v Blackpool is a win.

Agree with this. Holla needs to play alongside Ince or Toko. I think Ince is good enough (although he can improve), and I hope Toko is -- his pedigree suggests it is, it's just not clear to what extent Hyypia rates him.
