Promoted teams are always enthusiastic and up for the battle, after 3 games it could have been better, could also have been worse, so I was quite happy with 5 points from the first 3 games. But I'm beginning to get worried again after 7! Sure the last 4 games have been against mega-rich/decent/very good/good teams, but we are once again starting to make schoolboy errors and when we go 1 behind the chances are we won't get any kind of result. The 3 promoted teams were expected to struggle but they seem to be getting some decent results, Bolton are bottom but after a run of games even harder than ours. I'm struggling to think of which teams are going to finish below us.
Oh to have Alcaraz fit again. To have Rodallega fit and looking like he's the player he thinks he is. To have someone tell Ben Watson that midfielders need to break into something more than a trot now and again and actually tackle instead of just following the player towards our goal. To have James McArthy fit and firing again.Teams like Wigan can't afford to carry passengers and right now too many players are not producing the goods. Over to you Bobby.........................
