First 8 games of the 15/16 League One campaign

[Dare to dream!]

We had one more point than we currently do now. Whilst the start we had is worrying, I think that the Arsenal game if affecting the players mindset and they just arent focused.

At home to Gillingham and Blackpool we were good and very unlucky not to win both games, add in the Blackburn game and it was a pleasent start to the season. However since then and the last three games in particular have been unacceptable, poor performances against average sides. 

We now need to go to Arsenal and enjoy the occasion and after that is out of the way hopefully the performaces start to improve!

It's probably nothing to do with the Arsenal game. More a manager who doesn't know how to pull a team out of a tailspin and has the man management skills of a carrot.

Thought the Blackpool game was a fair result and on another day we could have lost. And yes, on another day we could have won.
But you're not going to win games when you go in front twice then let the opposition equalise straight from the kick off.

You need to hope we dont beat Arsenal then.

No doubt that some of our contributors still don't think our start to the season is a bad one yet.

Perhaps he just needs a stick!!

Having been to away games but the home performances against hardened League 1 opposition have been largely acceptable. That said, I don't think the manager knows his best side yet but that would probably include Houghton, Baudry, McCullough, Andrew and Kiwomya so criticism at this time is probably premature.

Part of the managers job is to put together a squad than can compete when there are injuries and suspensions, which all teams get.

That's the root cause of the problem.

Agreed but not having the quality of at least 4 of those 5 out all at the same time eould be extremely hard on most teams in this division!!
