    I know its only 3 games in and any body forming opinions might be seen as jumping the gun but I've had this thought since ft against Fulham.

    Are we about to see a mirror image of the 2011/2012 season?

    Ellis wields the axe half way through the season with us struggling, new manager is brought in just in time for a nice run of home games, lifts a dejected set of players and bags a few wins lifting us out of trouble.

    Yesterday does have me worried.

    If we aren't be careful the 2005-06 season might more of a worrying memory. As I watched the Palace attack cut through our defence with so much ease yesterday, I couldn't help but think what the likes of Chelsea, Man U, Man City will do to us...scary stuff.

    I voiced my concerns about PDC from day one mate but hoped to proved wrong. What I see worries the **** out of me too but we are here now and will have to see what the next 6 or 7 games brings. If we are still bottom 3 after 10 games then a full blown panic will be called for because I think PDC will lose this dressing room before bonfire night

    Our run of home fixtures does not help, the worrying factor for me is that I feel as if we have weakened the side from last year still no L/B (rose hard to replace)
    Two midfielders yesterday were inadequate and Larsson not a midfield player although he has done well.
    The only player I have seen do well is Celustka the rest are no better than what we had so far. I hope they can only improve.
    Ji Dong Wong has no confidence and Wickham is getting no better. We are lacking grit and to lose his main target (Huddlestone) to Hull really worries me. We have not really spent considering the Mignolet sale and we should be looking at players with Premier league exp. i.e Mcmannaman, McCarthy Defoe. FFS Swansea Southampton Norwich Stoke W.B.A all sides that were promoted after us look a far better established sides than we do.

    Wer doomed I tell ya wer doomed
