All the promoted teams have a win after two games under their belt contrat to last season they all took an age to get 3 points - a harder league this season IMO ....
We should be OK when we get a settled side .....

"when"

I applaud your optimism.

Are you the pessimistic character with the crap apple face :D

Sometimes, for sure.

I try, but then I look at the first team we put out and we've got 2 regular starters injured before playing a competitive game. Our injury record is awful. It took 70 mins of a pounding before Davie would risk it best player being on in the pitch.

So sometimes pessimistic against my will. But yes to the crab apple face.

It’s mad that people don’t see it to be honest and have had their confidence completely wrecked by one bad result

We lost none of our good players (except a couple injuries), have signed some exciting new ones and we would’ve made Europe last season on form since Moyes took over… we won’t be anywhere near relegation
 
Gotta say I'm still unsure about this season. Right now the squad depth concerns me and we haven't resolved quite a few gaps.

Thought we looked unbalanced against Leeds, and whilst we got screwed for that penalty, we were at no point the better side significantly.

"Concerned" is definitely the word that describes me presently and I can't see we do anything impressive this season.

I'd be a lot more worried if we didn't have Moyes there, I always feel safer knowing he is there to steady the ship.

I was feeling a lot more positive about Moyes before the Leeds game. I think a large part of that result was on him. He's got credit in the bank, but his innate conservatism is starting to grate already.

Then I look at West Ham...

Only joking mate - let's hope we can get 3 points tomorrow I have never seen such a bad display & I started going to the game in 1962....

Longer than me mate and to be fair, most of the low points have come in more recent times. It's easy to forget how abject we were in games under Allardyce, 8en17e2 and Dyche, but last week was as bad as anything I've seen, especially considering the opposition.
