To be fair, I think we did look better under Coyle. At least you felt we might score the odd goal.

It's scary agreeing with Nat all the time.....but right you are Madam.

We lost games under OC but did score at least.....right now we barely get a ball into the box.

didn't we go on the longest run of.... well everything negative in the history of the football club under Coyle.

You're right it was brilliant!

No..... we dropped from the Prem because of a last minute goal by City
Then we had a miserable pre-season and a bad run ...... we are matching that run right now if not worse.

We broke every negative record (basically) in the clubs history.

and the run we are on now (2 points from 4 games) is worse?

Ok.

City scored to help us... but a 2-2 tie with Stoke sent us down... though losing a 2 goal lead to Sunderland (I believe) two weeks earlier in the final 15 minutes did us in. Coyle did not have the players playing for him... they went through the motions those final few games. 
Without Dawson, we have not won except in League Cup.  DF is smart... he has seen that as well.  I can only hope he is working behind the scenes to fix the Knighmare-Wheater situation.  If not fixed, you had better call a plumber.  We will leak goals all season and depend on the offense to score 3 or more.  Well, they did in preseason and now their guns have gone empty.
As poor as people think we played this past week, we had a couple of good opportunities with Beckford blowing a chance to score and Medo making a great chance for himself.  We could have easily been on top 2-1 at fulltime.
We may not be promotion material right now... but I trust DF will sort it out before long.  The injuries have really hurt the distribution to the strikers.  That's just part of the game.  As long as the team is fit, you can't find fault because of injuries.  It hurts the game plan and we started the season without the benefit of a team gelling together. 
We should all be happy with the performance of Tim Ream.  Excellent work this past week.
Bogdan also had a good game.
If Beckford and Hall have legs that hold up, we'll score plenty. Ngog still has not fulfilled what he can do, but that could change as well.
Here's to a long season that improves with age.

Observer,

I love your optimism about all of this- but I think there are too many 'ifs' in what you have said. I think we may be overrating many of our players simply because so many of them have played (and failed) in the Prem.
I reckon we'll get a lot better than we are now- but won't reach the giddy heights that many people think we will. What we need now is some real threat going forward as this was absolutely lacking on Saturday. My hope is that the threat needs to come from Hall and Odelusi because I can't see it coming from Ngog

You have to be optimistic or you could cry in your beer.  But we do need Dawson or a Dawson clone asap... and my hope is that is being done quietly and behind the scenes.  We also will face some easier fixtures in the coming weeks!  I'm not saying we will be promoted, but I think we will climb the table nicely.

Nice to see a sensible comment on here.
