Awful

We won't be anywhere near relegation, we'll score too many goals to be in that kind of bother but we certainly won't be troubling the top 6 without defensive reinforcements.

We've scored 2 goals in 4 games. We've lost 40 odd goals in Archer and Akpom. Our Plan B is Matt Crooks. I wish I had your optimism that we would score enough goals to keep us up but if we don't get reinforcements this week I think we are in SERIOUS trouble

A good manager makes a team better than the sum of their parts, I thought carrick did last season but there were glimpses of what we are seeing back then, awful goals conceded and being rolled over in midfield by the better teams. Getting the first goal is so important as confidence grows, we shoot ourselves in the foot and gift the first goal way too often.

This start has been far worse than last season under Wilder. We were quite unlucky in some of our early performances last season. Wilder was getting pelters from the off. We've deserved our results this season

He is in trouble. This is the kind of run that costs manager’s their job. I’m not saying he should go but his support will erode. The truth is though that we are a club who is almost constantly in crisis or rebuild mode. The owner is responsible for this.

1st 2 games were very worrying going forward but I think we've been fine going forward today and against Huddersfield.

We will score goals.

Engel should have scored and Latte Lah had a good chance first half too. We will be fine going forward.

No we won't, we really won't.
We have 2 goals from 4 matches. We scored 84 goals last season.
We were defensively poor last season, but had real quality going forward with Akpom, Archer, Ramsey and Forss (they got 54 of them). 3 have gone and the manager has disappeared the other.
Watmore got another 5 and he's away too.

We are still defensively poor, but now can't score anywhere near enough goals.

Couldn’t agree more. Without any incoming players we are in real trouble.

I do like the look of Latte and I think he'll get a few but we need at least another 2 players to contribute significantly. Who are they going to be? Mcgree has never been a goalscorer. Rogers doesn't look a goal scorer (he's been crap today btw), silvera might get a few. Forss won't get many sat on the bench. We need a no10 who's going to chip in with goals desperately

Enough goals for what? To stay up?

We will score 60+ this season. Without defensive reinforcements we won't get top 6 but we won't be close to relegation.
 
We need a proper DM - but let’s face it the decisions by both Smith and Engel were pure comedy. PS Rogers is hopeless

To score 60+ goals we need to double our current conversion rate. Its not like we've had tough fixtures either. We won't get 60+ goals unless we make signings.

Rogers was non existent today. He's had one good 45 mins of football so far. The second half against Coventry. And that was nothing particularly special. It was just an improvement on the diabolical first half

I mean if we just go off what we're currently on course to do then we won't hit 12 points but I doubt that will be the case either.

Ok im probably being a bit vasetious. But we don't look like scoring 60+ goals. We've lost Goalscorers and replaced them "development players". I hate that phrase but seems to be all the rage

Anyway, they don't have 60 goals between them

Nonsense man.
We are conceding over 2 per match, scoring less than 1.
Last season we were scoring 2 and conceding just over 1.
Only 5 clubs scored over 60 goals last season.
