I said when the fixtures got announced, I thought we should be aiming for 10-12 points.
We were on course for 10 points until a cock up from an experienced player yesterday. We should have defended better.
However, overall, we're playing a lot better than we have been in the last 12 months. We're attacking well despite missing some key players. Defensively, we need to improve. Hopefully the new players coming in will help with that.
We need to beat a poor Huddersfield side next week, and it's been a decent - if not spectacular - start. But we will pick up points where we don't expect to later in the season as well. It's not all black and white.

He didn't get a choice. He was told that Silva was the new manager.

It will be a difficult balance to get right. The fact they are both experienced with this type of set-up at least offers encouragement that they can work together. I agree that Brands having to accept Silva as a fait accompli was not the ideal starting point.
They will say in public that they need to agree on everything and will take joint decisions but I don’t think that’s the case at all and it actually can’t be in reality. Brands has the ultimate upper hand in that relationship and as such, there should be a little healthy tension between them for both to get the best from each other. The best mates type of idea is extremely naive. It’s about balance. Brands must deliver support and structure, Silva must deliver good football and results.
They cannot be as bad as the two imbeciles that went before them, I doubt they ever even spoke to each other.

Coleman. Mina Keane/ Zouma Digne
That defence is a big improvement on last season
I love Coleman’s attitude and energy but if he doesn’t pull his finger out he will find himself replaced either next Jan or in the summer
Marcel has already shown himself to be ruthless
Proof ???

Welcome back Wayne
Indeed. So I’m expecting at least two red cards and a 3-4 defeat when we play Huddersfield.....
The back 4 has got a revamp
Just waiting for 3 players to get up to speed

Proof? Do you see no connection between Moshiri's months long pursuit of him and us eventually getting him? None whatsoever? All circumstantial?

Slight over reactions no?
Scored two with 10 men
Are defence is poor but we already know that
Alot more attacking intent
Im pleased for now, early days in the silva project

To which Brands still had a choice of not to work with or accept the job. My take is Brands had been in the pipeline for a while and would have been asked about the Silva appointment but that is just speculation like yours.
Once we’re through Blue Monday, we’ll be fine.
