Let's not judge our season on 2 games

Just a note of caution. I've seen on the Sunderland board that having 0 points from 2 games would be enough for them to want Steve Bruce out. This is quite right, as they must hit the ground running in order to justify Bruce's big money spending, it's his team now so he has full responsibility. For us, however, we should not be too hasty. If you look at predictions, then really if we lose both of our first two games we will be matching expectations. Anything more than that is a bonus by the reckoning of all the pundits. So if we do find ourselves on 0 points from 2 games, let's not panic.
I will add, if we have 6 points from the first 2 games then let's not get overly carried away either

 

First two games won means 36 more till the championship party can commence
