I thought 10 would be good, but on my predictions we lost 2 points at Sunderland and 3 at Norwich. Last 3 predictions were WHU draw, Liverpool loss, and Crystal Palace win...giving 8 in total. I would be pleased with that, though would settle the nerves to get 3 points tomorrow.
 
I think I got carried away and probably underestimated the opposition...though we really should have beaten Sunderland. We have bigger games to come and really wanted a very strong start, but I suppose hard to judge after only 3 games. I am rather wistful about the exciting play we are capable of...where did that go?
 
I think it is still there. We must remember that the three teams we have played probably were a little scared off us and assumed the defensive underdog role. We need 10 games to judge.

The pressing style works well against teams that are more open, but condenses the pitch when played against teams, like the three we've played, who may defend more in numbers.
 
I'd have happily taken 11 points from our first 6 games at the start of the season. I just wouldn't have expected it to have been in this order (if we do beat Palace).

Very hard not to be greedy though, and look at the table and add on those two drops points vs West Ham.
 
If you're saying that we're underestimating you, surely you're underestimating us?!

WBA away - Lose
Sunderland home - Win
Norwich away - Draw
West Ham home - Draw
Liverpool away - Lose
Palace home - Win

8 points.
Providing we lose to Palace, I've got the right points and the rights results...just muddled up!
