I think fans forget just how bad we were last season. We asked to be competitive this season and mostly we have been. This is the first part of a rebuild. There are new players in next season, some youngsters and the continued evolution of the club. I think beating Wigan set the bar too high. My main disappointment was the Huddersfield loss but red and yellow cards are a good excuse. But discipline must improve. We should be aiming for top 6 imo. This game will be a good barometer I feel.
I wish I could forget just how bad we were last season!!!!! It's still a recurring nightmare for me!
Like you say, the big disappointment so far this year was the Huddersfield loss which has knocked some of the feel good optimism out of the fanbase. Maybe we were getting a little carried away with the opening seven games and seeing us second in the table. But even so we're still well ahead of where any of us realistically expected us to be (both in results and importance) after ten games.
I repeat what I said earlier today, if we can get back on the horse and grab two wins tonight and next week the situation will look a whole lot positive once more. Hoping we can pick the thread back up again tonight. Think it's too early to start writing the season off just yet, even for us!!
Agree, let’s be honest we are still way ahead of where any of us thought we’d be at this point. Think it just shows how much things gave changed that we’re feeling a little disappointed in the recent performances particularly Huddersfield. We all knew that we’d likely have some downs along the way so all is not lost. Injuries have hurt us that’s not an excuse but when we are still a few recruitment cycles away from where we want to be having injuries will hurt. We’ve not had the easiest opening 3rd of a season either. Still don’t see anything so far as to why we can’t push for a top 6 spot even with out dip in form.
