    If we finish in the bottom three, sorry he's done a **** job. The squad is easily good enough to remain in the division.

    On what basis? The other sides are better if we finish on the bottom 3


    Like I said you're assuming the players we've signed are better than what we already had.

    They're bog standard players, sorry but it's true

    On the basis the team is better than last season (Willems vs Lewis is hard to call just yet but is going to be utterly blown away by the comparison of Joelinton vs Wilson). Last season we were actually very safe in the end, however rubbish we are I think we'll have to do a LOT worse than last season to finish below 3 teams in the league. It's the kind of challenge we may well succeed in of course but it's not the expectation.

    it's marginal and theoretical improvement, but this notion fans at clubs have that their side is better than it is would be the thing I'm questioning.. if we finish bottom 3 thats because we're worse.

    Last year we got lucky as **** in so many games. Chelsea 90+4. Beating spurs away when we got dicked all game, can’t guarantee we’ll get that same luck so a lot of points will be lost compared to last season.

    Exactly. And there's no excuse. I sort of thought Bruce may have had a semblance of a point last year, that the players were used to a certain style. 12 months later and he's trotting out a 4-4-2 with Andy Carroll.

    The more I think/write about that, the more ****ing absurd it gets.

    Let's be honest...he needs a result in the next 4 or 5 games and if its not Burnley then I think we're going to realise really fast that going down is a strong possibility this season.. I think Bruce's in his last month or 2 personally.. I just don't see him getting a result to save him..

    Goes two ways that. We also took 1 point from Norwich, Villa, Burnley, Watford, etc and lost late equalisers to Wolves (twice iirc). There were games we could look to improve on the tally but overall I would agree we punched above our weight in the main last year. Still think I team is marginally better this year and I'd prefer to have our team to Fulham, West Ham and possibly West Brom (and maybe some others too).

    The keeper was the main reason we managed to win points..

    That is his job.

    We're all talking around a point here. The team isn't very good but it's good enough to avoid relegation. How much better than that? Not sure but I went for 12-15th before the first game and I'm sticking to it.

    Suicide watch on here lads.

    You had a great result week 1 away at WHU and a **** result at the weekend. Not sure you’d be so depressed if the results had been the other way round like. 2 games 3 points, not that bad is it?

    Nah, you’ll be alright mate, you’ve just had a real ****ter and lost a game at home in 7 minutes, so you’re all stinging.
