Plus hull beat Leicester who’ve just hammered Southampton, tonight might turn out to be a decent result, we looked ok first half,When the fixtures came out there was many folk who thought we'd lose a lot more than we won.
Doing alright
What a player Van Ewijk is BTW!
Exactly. But I would say expectations are too high.Ultimately, there's two ways of looking at it and neither one is wrong.
Expectations are just so high considering the money we've spent.
1 win in 6, 3 shite strikers, piss poor use of subs, no tactical awareness.5 games unbeaten. We were pretty impressive first half before we tired. Signs are good. As the season progresses Robins and Adi are going to have a superb team on their hands. Have patience, we will go from strength to strength. What a player Van Ewijk is BTW!
RidiculousI'd take £4 million for Simms and Wright in January.
I know, we'd be lucky to get anywhere near that.Ridiculous

I thought we looked terrible tonight. First game I’ve watched this season and thought we looked incredibly disjointed. Put it down as a one off hopefully. Didn’t think much of Hull either though and they’re apparently a good side.
SISU destroyed the foundations!it’s immensely frustrsting. Thanks to the sound foundations built by SISU, the club has had a unique chance to invest. But the belief that money equals success has become too ingrained.
it’s still early though
Why do you think that is? Kelly and Eccles is a pretty weak partnership. Good defensively but going forwards they don’t really offer much. Ayari too was missing the final touches too today.I thought we looked terrible tonight. First game I’ve watched this season and thought we looked incredibly disjointed.

Whist that's true, 1 win in 6 is also average 8 wins and I can't think that would ever have been in the play offs. Not suggesting we will only win 8 of course but can't pick and choose only the favourable stats.Agree with OP, plus said it elsewhere already - 1 loss in 6 matches now, that averages out between 7 to 8 losses for season. No team has ever finished outside the playoffs with less than 10 losses.
Chicken and egg …. He’s not giving them the minutes to find their form.At some point soon Robin's has to (carefully!) start to demand better from some of the new signings, especially the attacking players. We can't afford to spend millions on players that sit on the bench (Sakamoto, Simms).
We will have serious problems scoring this season (and the next few I suspect).
Draws don't cut it.
Mid table side on balance
Exactly. But I would say expectations are too high.
We should be a top 10 side this year
2 defeats in 25 isn't it?1 win in 6, 3 shite strikers, piss poor use of subs, no tactical awareness.
It's criminal that Simms gets a run out while Sakamoto is a spectator as our midfield is over run.
I slated Allen last season, but I'd welcome him back with open arms now.
Can't wait for O'hare to return, and the January transfer window to open.

For that you have to get the ball in the net thing.Concentrate on being hard to beat, wins will follow.
Having two eyes and an intellect.What are you basing that on?
I'm only looking at this season, you can't go back to the days of Gyokeres, Hamer, Doyle Mcnally etc, last season we had some excellent players who carried us to the play offs.2 defeats in 25 isn't it?
Not bad for no tactical awareness.
If he had just a little bit, would we win the title by eleventy billion points?
So would you think it best we try to sell both of them in January and try again? What if their replacements don’t light up the place after 6 games?I'm only looking at this season, you can't go back to the days of Gyokeres, Hamer, Doyle Mcnally etc, last season we had some excellent players who carried us to the play offs.
Since then I fear we've invested in 2 poor strikers, but you can't say that on here as people are still waiting for them to some how turn into Shearer and Sutton, but let's be honest now, no amount of "gelling" is going to make this pair work, and playing two turds together will only make a shit sandwich.
I love MR, but his piss poor use of subs and his constant favouritism of the same poor players is annoying at times.
