Its not about us getting a break Morley, its about the useless, spineless bloody referees and Stockly Park actually enforcing the rules on a consistent basis.Anyone seen the Arsenal player stood at the back of the wall for the free kick that gave them victory? A new rule this year states that if a side has a wall of 3 or more players, the attacking team cannot have a player in the wall, or indeed within 1 metre of the wall. Don't wish to sound hard done by, but, when are we going to get a break?
I'm alluding to everything, we aren't right... as you know, I've thought this from the get go, not said too much on the forum, I want to see how things pan out in 10 or so games, only fair. Just don't understand why there was quite so much excitement over players I've never heard of and was hoping the excitement was well founded by those who watch those there foreign leagues.
Not having some Prem experience looked folly to me, that is how it is still looking. Relying on some players who weren't even able to light up the Championship (have people forgotten we were 5th?) seemed like folly. Buying only one striker also looked like folly.
Nothing, as yet, has given me any confidence. I'm naturally an optimist, but I am also a realist. I need convincing, I still hope to be convinced, but on current showing, I am far from convinced yet. I usually feed off others optimism when I don't have any, but a lot of it looks unfounded to me. That isn't a dig at anyone, just I am seeing things differently.
Maybe we'll scrape by until January and we'll purchase a few more. Maybe.
Paying out wages of reported £50k a week to Grealish McGinn etc etc so soon may have something to do with it. It was like we have reached the promised land so there’s loads of money to players that could have maybe been made to wait to show what they can do at a higher level. I am also wondering how Hourihane, Luiz, Steer and to some extent Targett are feeling about not getting game time or being left out. The next 2 teams picked will be very interesting"I don't know what it is at the moment but something needs to change. Maybe it's a mentality thing. Maybe we need to work on certain things. We're professional footballers who have played in the Premier League."
Things aren't right. Feel free to just admit you are always wrong, stand in the corner in your wrongness and just wallow in being wrong.

Yes, shocking reffing has cost us big time. But every goal we have conceded has been caused by a defensive error. Just my opinion but Hause is worth a game and Hourihane played closer to Wesley is always a goal threat. Would like to see us with a more solid shape.Two wide men is fine if they are Ray Grayson and Tony Morley,but they ain't.

When is this “decisions even themselves out” bollocks going to cut in?
The team is gelling.
The players without PL experience are learning - quickly.
The manager and coaches are learning.
There is a transfer window in January.
There are 10 or 11 teams who could quite easily go down this season, I wouldn’t write off anyone as safe not even wolves or Everton, until they hit 40 points.
Oh and your points I've made pretty much as well. But the league is unforgiving. We don't have that much time to learn. The manager and coaches shouldn't be needing lessons now btw
It will be interesting to see what the owners do, stick or hold with Smith in couple of months. Some of my predictions, many in jest could easily come to roost. Ironic if they do as disappointing non the less
