It's not actually been a bad start to the season

When you think about it:

Preston 0-0 1 more point than usual
Southampton 2-1 good win, but easily usually draw that
Palace 1-0 2 points more than usual
Palace and Wolves - standard defeat
Hull - 1 point less than usual but still often lose that

It's the next 2 games that are huge. Normally win 6 from those games so we need to win them both and we are away.................

Grant's biggest mistake was the public slagging of the players after Barnet. 5 goals and all he could do was slag off Cureton. Bad man management surely?
