4 games in...

Still settling down, 4 new starters in Uche, Jones, Crooks and Lumley (5 today with Peltier) is always going to take a little while to settle down and find the best line up and formation.
New players still to come in.
Things should pick up sooner rather than later.
Not great but not terrible either. Pretty much as expected.
 
Reasonably happy. Seems obvious McNair needs to be in defence rather than MF. A clean sheet! :)
We are OK for decent central midfielders, though I was surprised Howson didn't start today

I don't think we'll be running away with the league though :D ⚽

I'd love to know who these decent central midfielder's are. For me that is probably the main area that needs addressing. Sort that and we have more chance of controlling games.

Definitely why we got a clean sheet, McNair back in defence and grant hall on the bench
Just not sure about peltier.
we obviously need more firepower ie sporaz and Sammy A back with watmore available to see the potential we have
 
Showing promise. Need to strengthen the midfield for when Crooks is pushing forward, a bit gappy at the moment. Defence is a bit shaky, maybe lacking a strong leader at the back?
 
I think we've started ok. 7 new signings and more to follow. I think Uche and Crooks look like cracking signings at a fraction of the cost of who they replaced.

I think the formation and positions have been tweeked a bit from last season so it will take some getting used to. Also no Watmore or Tav (although now back).

I don't think we look any worse than probably 90% of the champo still finding it's feet. I think Fulham and WBA will run away with it. The squads are massive and match winners.

I was actually more disappointed with Wednesday than yesterday. We never looked like winning at Derby but frankly threw it away mid week.

I'm still thinking 8-10th with the odd flirt into the playoff positions. It's just nice to be going to games. A cracking atmosphere yesterday (home and away support). That said could do with beating Blackburn 👍
 
Positives in Uche, Crooks, Jones.
Our hopes seem to be on Payero , Sporar and van Bergen improving the goals for column and adding to the 3 above .
---------------Uche / Crooks
Jones/ Watmore--Sporar--VB /Tav
-------------------Payero
Looks decent to me , the problem is behind them IMO.
Morsy could do with a serious competitor to either play alongside or swap with.
Howson is cover , McNair is best as LCH and NW doesn't seem to think Malley is ready.
I would love either of the Chalobah brothers on loan , and think one of them would be a key piece of the jigsaw.

New additions have impressed.

Defense has been surprisingly shakey.

I've been entertained by the 2 matches I've seen live. Just loving being back at football.

I'm not expecting promotion; I might be disappointed if I was expecting it, but I'd have no one to blame but myself
 
1 win, 2 draws, 1 defeat.

How are you feeling? I think it's about right.

My only concern is the lack of posession.

Plus points so far: Jones and Crooks
Negatives: Looking frail defensively.

Early days and we are going to get stronger.
Season over we will finish tenth.

World Cup year in 2022, bring it on!
 
I think we'll make top 6.
McNair Needs to be in defence, we have loads of new signings to integrate including ones to be coming in so the international break will be a god send, especially if we can grab a win.
Picked up 4 points we didn't last season in regards to Bristol City and Derby away, plus a point at Fulham so I'd say an improvement results wise barring QPR.
Optimistic! I remember the first year Norwich going up, we were flying, they were struggling in like 16th. After the international break they beat us 2-0 and went on to the win the league.
You never ever know
