Yes I think we all did but not sure I expected us to be as bad as we've been at times. I

kind of expected us in mid-table form to start the season, and then as we gelled to start to rise and if we were lucky maybe scrape into the playoff positions just in time and then who knows ? I expected some disjointed passing and positional confusion as we migrated to new systems with new faces, and to draw a few we should win, and lose a few we should get at least a point from.

But I am a bit scared by the fundamental errors which don't appear to be caused by a new system or a team getting to know each other - just inaccurate passing, bad defending, lack of finishing, bad decision making etc.

I'm still in the patient mode for now but I think I am starting to eye up my nails. Not quite biting them yet. Fingers crossed that we at least improve a bit soon.
