How do you rate the first quarter of the season?

[riddick]

6/10. I get what he's trying to do but even out wins aren't THAT convincing. I just want to see a dominating performance from kickoff.

And we should have been a bunch more points better off than we are now but, ok.

Well with 25% of the season gone, I wondered how Blues would rate out of ten and where and what improvements they think need to be made to improve their score.


I don't normally start threads so be nice

I’ll let you know at HT against United lol

 

[Bungle]

3/10

Clear out the remaining players that have a horrible losing mentality in January and stop them infecting the new lads and I'll review it. Can't look at that fixture list that we had to start the season and be happy with the results we've got from it.

Im happy, expected a slow start, for me by Christmas was when i expected us to get up to speed, way on shedule IMO, that Southampton game tho is still a killer, no messing with the squad in the FA Cup

 

[TheBigIguana]

I honestly think the problems early on were down to key players being unavailable. We need to try to build some depth so that doesn't happen again but for now I think we are on the right track.

Better than a twix, worse than a crunchie

Twix over Crunchie IMHO

 

[Haiku]

I think we're doing decent. Not much expectations from me, as I still see it as a transitional phase. We're rebuilding our squad and we have to be patient. Quality signings this summer, I'm very happy with Brands and Silva for now.

 

[marsh]

Ok so far. I like silva and actually like some of our players now but that league cup exit was so annoying, should have gone all out to win that trophy

 

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

1/10 I can’t forgive or forget that West Ham result.

They also beat Man U soon after pretty handily. They look like they are starting to understand Pellegrini's system so I can forgive it a bit.

League form ok. Yes we could and should have got 4 or 5 more points. But given its a complete change in style, our appalling away form over the last decade, our new signings needing time, and a host of injuries especially at the back, I think our league form is OK. It's around what I expected. I expected about 55 points this year. So 27-28 by new year, and we are well on course. And our general football is a million miles better since we got our players back fit. I like what the manager is doing by and large.

The cup game means I wouldn't go beyond a 6 though. A complete disaster with the manager cocking up monumentally with the young guys getting a chance completely fluffing their lines.

New manager, new style, new players............1 out of 10. Why would we spend all that money and not be top of the table. We spent 45m on Richarlison and he has 4 goals.....not enough he should be on at least a goal per game. We never replaced Pickford in the summer which was a big mistake as he is bog average and has an arrogance issue. Siggy does nothing in games, Walcott goes missing all the time yet we allow Lookman to sit on the bench. Our manager relegated Hull City so why should we get crap managers while we had a perfectly good Sam A. Feel sorry for Walsh getting sacked as he helped Leicester win the league yet we go for another Dutch mercenary in Brands. We are in danger of melting away. Bring back Moyes and Kenwright and bin off Moshiri. This new team have had 10 league games to sort out the mess........how bloody long do they need. If we are not top by Christmas I am changing to zero.

Better than a twix, worse than a crunchie

Nah lad Crunchie is just a touch above a twix we're better than a Crunchie too, maybe worse than a double-decker.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Twix over Crunchie IMHO

Never got the love for crunchies. Chocolate so thin it may as well not exist and a centre that splinters into shard of glass to shred your mouth. Twix, whilst not amazing, at least has haas the basic set up of a chocolate bar

Oh and also I said a 7. I feel we can beat anyone right now but could see us conceding 7 should things not go our way.

 

[fandjango]

7/10 must try harder

Lost their last two on the bounce without scoring and are two points off the drop zone.
