Europa and the fa cup would be an incredible season. That was my target at the start of the season.
We're 3 points off top. After the first 2 games, no one would have expected that. Ten Hag is the £#%&!ing don lads. Keep this momentum going and who knows what we'll achieve. I'm enjoying the ride |

Let's just see what happens shall we. At the moment i'm still enjoying just not being a total disgrace every week. It's quite fun actually watching your team play when they do things like try and put effort in.
We'll lose a fair few this season and injuries will play a huge part for us because our squad still doesn't have that many options. I'm not even thinking about winning things or challenging for anything, i just want to see a cohesive football team and actually enjoy watching football again. That's all i want. |

I’m with Sparkles here. Fred is very boom or bust a lot of the time.
We’ve shored things up, we’re winning by not playing brilliantly and there’s plenty of scope to get better. I like the passing between the lines, I like ETH’s game management (and making tactical changes rather than staring gormlessly at a screen) and I am mightily encouraged… One game at a time and see where it takes us. |

Not getting too excited because it’s too small a sample size, but every win is encouraging, Every performance feels like progress and, more than the results, we’re seeing some of the basics we all wanted to see.
From where we were, the keys things we needed to see this season were work rate, a team spirit and a team that looks like it’s being coached. If we got that, that’s enough for now and it automatically increases our prospects of doing better. We’ve seen all that in recent games. There’s a ruthless, cynical, pragmatic streak in us too that I didn’t expect to see. We’ve seen out the last four games brilliantly imo. It’s giving us a platform. We’re matching teams for work rate and intensity for the first time in years and the quality we do have is showing through. I’ve felt confident in how games have unfolded recently. We’ve not been perfect, but I haven’t felt like we were going to gift the opposition the game. Still lots to work on: The press, the passing consistency, hold up play, cards totting up (we’re getting someone sent off in no time ) but it’s all very encouraging. It’s not ‘new manager bounce’ either because we were shite at first |

In terms of fixtures we've had a tough start to the season. Brentford, Brighton and Arsenal are all in good form, Liverpool despite their troubles are still Liverpool - and we've played them all right off the bat with a new manager and new players. I'd say we've done pretty well all things considered. I really feared for us after the Brentford game, that could have broken us. |
