Don’t understand the amount of pessimistic output on here.
6 games only beaten by Arsenal , undefeated ,top of league, Man C , giants of Europe, present league Champions. 2-0 flattered Arsenal that was easy to see. And should have been three up against ten men, when undone by the genius that should not have been on the pitch. A draw with Liverpool.in their backyard, a draw with money bags, and very consistent Newcastle. Brentford knocked Four past Unt, Five Past Leeds.
Oh and did we beat Villa or not.?
It will not be easy, it’s getting harder, but we mix it well with most so why be pessimistic?

There may be nervy periods, in particular if we suffer injuries to key players.
To me the squad seems marginally weaker this season than last and clubs such as Fulham, who I thought might struggle,are coping well at the moment which means it's more difficult to identify the bottom teams other than possibly Bournemouth.
The key will be remaining defensively strong as I can't see many goals in our current team.
I hope we have a proper transfer strategy in place for January to make up for the shortcomings of the recent window as the need to strengthen is obvious.

Oh and our youth teams are thumping anyone who dares to play them. Our future is rosy.

Well we are 7 points behind Seagulls, likely to be minimum 10, when the next three rounds have been played, so us passing them in the table even over several years is somewhat unlikely.

The way teams like Brighton and Brentford are playing and scoring fun fun, and with the teams just below us, Villa, Everton, West Ham, surely moving up, we need some luck not to end up in the relegation zone!

oh my god season has just started and we get a post like this no wonder Midlands left

We have had a tough start to the season. We had a bit of luck yesterday to get a point, but we could easily have beaten both Liverpool and City away with a bit of better fortune. Keep the faith.
