My its getting a bit heated on here after 6 games! Cheer up we are on target for 69 points with a proven ownership and management team who are moving the club forward.

We have recruited almost a complete new team and the manager has shown tactical flexibility and a willingness to ring the changes in search of his best combination.

Those that have not featured so far are known quantaties and they will be brought back in as the competition for places hots up.

We are work in progress and still need to recruit 2 or 3 key players to compete at the top end of the table.

We can all see the weak links and the need to play at a higher tempo and defend as a team.

We have better players from last season so what's the problem?

Fans expectation is the problem.

Foremoaners be careful what you wish for bearing in mind our past and the fact that after only 4 games Roy Hodgson has got a gig from an ownership that has bottled the brave new world of actually playing expansive football?

We are not going up this season, we are not going to pull up too many trees but we will compete in this division while getting our debt under control.

So look forward we have 40 games to "save our season" and for Warbo to build again next summer, man manage his squad and build a winning squad.

Any talk of regime change is just plain stupid!

Agree with most of what your saying Redinexile but i hate the phrase "we are a work in progress". It's just a cop out for losing games. Leeds, Cardiff and Wolves have all signed a similar number of players to us so their work in progress is going slightly better than ours.
Fact is our defense has been anything but a work in progress for some time now and shows no sign of improvement. Until it's sorted there will be no progress.
Sorry, can't stop saying progress 😂.

To be fair red Fred they probably have bought better than us but they've all spent nearly 3 times as much as us on transfers I can also imagine there wage bills are stupidly high mw has invested peanuts wisely in some great signings and I would also say if Cardiff leeds and definitely wolves don't go up this season they could be in trouble with ffp and as we know sometimes just not worth the risk also there's at least 7 teams below us that on paper should be above us so all in all good start to the season and if we look over the last few seasons we are definitely doing a lot better and with such a young up and coming squad definitely a work in progress simples coyrs

Redinexile We cannot recruit your suggestion of 2-3 players until January unless there a free Agents available which will only be scraps. We could be relegated by then. We have recruited plenty of attackers and midfielders, however we needed central defenders. Fox and Mills are not up to it, how many times have they been questioned on this site alone ? Is Worrall ready yet. Manciene's form has also been questioned. I was not in favour of retaining Cohen or even Vaughan as they are both so injury prone, neither are fit at present.

I definitely wouldn't call some of the free agents out there scrap lol but anyway this season is all about stability and trying to get mid table top ten anybody who thinks we should be pushing for promotion is clearly not right in the head

I admire the optimism and share the view that time is essential for MW to build. However, already the euphoria of May/June/July is evaporating and we MUST stem the flow of goals now. This simply won't wait.

Cardiff won't be in trouble with ffp they hardly spent anything, just a few freebies and loans,Leeds won't either, they got 15 million in for wood and something for Taylor from Burnley.

Wolves probably treading dangerously near, with villa already admitting they are having to balance the books.
