    Three games in and some people arses are twitching like a rabbits nose.................I've never known such pessimism.

    it's going to get worse before it gets better please make sure you all have plenty of toys to chuck out your pram, all sharp objects are out of arms length and you have the Samaritans number on speed dial.

    Or you could grab a Snickers, eat it and hope it stops you being drama queens.

    The players should be shot with ****e after their performance on Saturday and I cannot believe you are criticising PDC for saying in public what is so plain to see to all and sundry, you cannot defend the indefensible and after Mogadon Marti it is good to see a passionate manager.

    Being optimistic it looks like were going to be playing 2 up front as we don't have anyone who can play as a 3rd attacking midfielder.

    PDC is going to have to play our best players now and that means playing Cattermole in the middle, probably with Ki. I am not a big Cattermole fan but he can be very good when he is fit.

    Johnson and Giacc are really going to have to step up now. Our best hope is to get the ball wide and get quality ball into the box. Were not going to be creative through the middle but at least with Catts in there we can stop the opposition playing in there and then get the ball wide.

    Fletcher needs to stay fit as that's where are goals are going to come from. Get Brown fit too and we will look like a half decent side.

    But with Colback, look how much he come on at fullback, how much better he is going forward off the back of just a pre season. I reckon Paolo could get him playing forward passes beautifully. Not that it matters as we need him at fullback.

    Optimism................

    Think back just a few weeks to when we were outplaying Spurs in the rain.....

    I've had me twists, but....

    we are the same team.

    Keep the faith - for at least 3 weeks

    I agree, there's no need to convince me about our Jack. He just needs to sign an extension to his contract.

    I agree about Catts but I am a fan.
    As for the wingers with better movement up front their jobs should be easier, the jury is still out for me with Altidore, but we all know Fletcher has a footballers brain.
    Couldn't believe how static Wickham and Ji were when we broke into their half with Giacc.

    Funny that, great minds think alike, I know more than anyone on here and RTG.

    Oh, and I am also a massive fan of Cattermole, his play not his discipline record.
