    A month ago, the majority of fans were cautiously optimistic about the season, if not wary of the lack of a prolific striker. One fairly poor but by no means disastrous start later, Pardew is public enemy number one again and people are actually going as far as tipping us to get relegated!? Are we not jumping the gun a bit here?

    Sure the new signings, Janmaat excluded, haven't settled as fast as we'd have liked, but only a handful of players come into this league all guns blazing, Coloccini, Enrique, Debuchy, Ba, Cabaye all needed a month or even more to get up and running but all are now considered amongst our best players of the last 5-10 years, in fact, look at the players who have got off to great starts, namely Cisse, HBA and Sissoko, and you're looking at 3 of our most inconsistent and frustrating players of recent times.

    We're building a new team with plenty of potential, and have one of the brightest prospects in the league at the moment, but a slow start, and all of a sudden its the end of the world. Give them time and I'm sure they'll come good, but all that said, if we're still around the relegation places in a months time I will start to worry, but for now I'm going to stick with Pardew's words and not judge the team until after 10 games.

    We're fanatics!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE YOUR RATIONALE AT THE DOOR, FREUD, BEFORE I BURN YOU AT THE STAKE NEXT TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But seriously, we're short on quality, have no depth, and all the other teams around us have actually strengthened.... YIPPEEE

    If we had replaced HBA, Jonas and MYM I'd have maintained my optimism but we are weaker than last season by a mile now.
    Don't forget that players take time to bed in and time is something we may not have the luxury of.
    We will be in the relegation places in a month I'm sure.
    We will get a maximum 4 points from the next 6 games I'm sure.

    Plus the other relegation type teams are strengthening.

    It's not the start that has made me bitter, though it has been lacklustre. It's the potential finish to the transfer window - loaning/selling Mbiwa and not replacing and no proven source of goals. It's not good enough and another opportunity missed for the sake of saving a few more pennies.

    He would rather risk injury than play HBA.

    If Rivierre gets injured we have no physical presence up front at all.

    We're an embarrassment. Signed 9 (one of which is a loan and two loaned back to Forest) but sold/released 12.

    Our owner and manger just don't want to progress the club, it's as simple as that.

    If it's true, then he is an utter fool unworthy of managing a Sunday Park team.

    We have the worst manager in the league, by a country ****ing mile.

    We're not doomed, but we're in deep trouble.

    Imagine you have a rather average army, sufficient for certain tasks but by no means the best, not by a long shot. This army is led by a woefully inept general. It is tasked to take a well-defended city with large walls, but has no engines and equipment - no battering ram, no ladders, no artillery, no siege towers. All it can do is throw bodies at it in the hope that *something* positive might happen, because you have f** all in the way of penetration and your commander knows no better.

    This is us.
