So when do we class it as as bad start?

[darklord]

Wake me up when the 18/19 season is ready to begin

[Bob]

Bad now, melt down if we lose tomorrow.

 

A decent win tomorrow is what's needed.

[sheriwozgod]

Now......................2 eminently winnable games..............1 point from 6.

I've absolutely no idea how you can assume that, given where they finished last season.

Well if going on current form they'll be relegated. Its not going to happen. Its two matches. Just two matches. If we had lost 4-0 in both games games I could see your point.

[Saxondale]

We need at least a win and a draw from the next 2 games. If we get 0 or 1 point then I think the manager will be under serious pressure. 

[britpunk77]

If we have less than 17pts at the end of September it will have been a sub standard start to an expectant promotion campaign.

 

Still 2 weeks to off/up load players, the squad needs refreshing and this may give us the impetus to kick on. According to Carlos we needed 4/5 new players so ther e is still business to be done.

 

If we have not attained 12 pts by this time imo it would be justifiable for DC to pull the trigger.

[Fuzzy logics]

I thought we'd have 14 pts by the start of September.

 

Be lucky to get 10 now and without changes will struggle for top 6 this season imho

[Mr Meadows]

 if we dont get a win out of either t/row or saturday and then fail to beat Burton I think Carlos will be out before the end of the month - which would be a terrible start

 

 

[The Batman]

A point from 2 games is a bad start.

 

Doesn't mean it'll be a bad season though.

And rightly so.

[Whatahoot]

Given the players  and coaches pledge, pre season, to get off to a quick start, the quality of the two teams we have played in the league, the fact that our chairman has a previously stated aim of promotion by the end of this season and success at all cost,,the lack of defensive cover, the injury list already etc , we are walking in treacle as far as progress is concerned on the pitch.We could not have had a worst start to the seson, apart from QPR winning too.

 

Add to this the fact that we have had a very ordinary pre season, a late start in selling supposedly celebrated new shirts, players fighting in training,player transfer breaking down and announced on a match day . The biggest disappointment of all is that, apparently, we are suddenly cash strapped to a point, where we have the begging bowl out to our already hard stretched fans. I don't understand why Mr C can't improve the capital position of the club by injecting further funds via increased sponsorship deals. Surely if he wants to increase the value of the sponsorship deals he has personally with the club, ie on our shirts, around the ground etc, then he can rewrite the deals. He did say "no matter the cost " ? Or does he not want too at this point ??

 

Something has happened over the summer, that has brought about a very negative feeling around our club and  to the start of this season.The danger is that our opponents will feel it too and cash in at our expense.we need to get the show back on the road and quick.

If Lees gets injured tomorrow,  then it's a bad start

And then Sasso is sent for again, making it a disastrous start

I think we have to say that we have had a bad start already.  But if you look on form of last 6 games as pundits do then its horrific.

L D D L W D

And one of those draws  was a penatly shoot out loss. The win was against L2 oposition.  Poor to me.

 

Are you a spin doctor? 

[owlmanc]

If we don't get 6 points out the next 3 games then I really think it's time to reassess things... It's not just the season we didn't finish last season well... We should have destroyed Huddersfield and the play offs we wasn't unlucky we were poor.

Already a bad start.

 

We are chasing promotion not avoiding relegation 

Its not as though we have been given much to hope for, Preston was dire and not a lot to get exited about against QPR and all this from a side that has had plenty of time to prepare and sort the niggly problems, still no new center back, midfield dynamo and problems with FF again. Heres to living in hope.

We won 6 out of the 7 last league games.  We played a 2nd 11 in the one game we lost.  Never let the truth get in the way of talkingbollocks.

[I Love Sturrock]

If we've supposedly got top two ambitions, it's already a bad start. Just like the bad start Carlos has overseen for three seasons running.

 

How many times does Carlos have to repeat the same mistakes before some people wake up?

If we don't have two wins by five games in 

[Groundhopping Owl]

We've already had a bad start. It turns into a disastrous one if we're still without a win on Saturday evening.
