Give it a rest.
Nope.
I have been full of optimism and always am and now i choose to voice my opinion as certain decisions are changing my mind. Why should I have to be quiet at your request on my first bit of negativity?
We are a mid table third division club who, with a bit of luck and a following wind, could scrape a play-off place.
The probable reality though is mid table and if we are to exceed that it will be by going on a run later in the season once the players have become more familiar with each other.
Millwall had a poor start of the season but they still got promoted you never know benson could come out with 20 goals but knowing charlton he'll get 3 macca will be our top goalscorer and mid- table finish :D
A fully fit non suspended starting lineup of elliot,francis,youga,doherty,fortune\dailly,reid,wagstaff,mccormack, racon\semedo,martin,benson,abbot,akpo is not an average mid table starting lineup. Managed correctly and trained to the right way this is at least a top 6 team. No excuses this is a good solid team and we should be playing a tad better.
agim; I agree at the moment because of how he is playing, but as a lot of our players he is new and is with a new set of lads. This is his 4th week with the club, i'm sure he'll come good once properly settled and learnt our style of play, otherwise I don't think Parky would have made him his number one target to get after we sold Richardson. We'll see.

i thought millwall drew a lot of games, not lost them.
This time last season Norwich and Millwall were still struggling.
We have a team this year with a lot of new faces, but the problem is the same as last year, we aren't creating enough chances and not converting them. Losing 1-0 is not the end of the world.

Are you sure, reading this message board I think it is?

Sod Off.
A squad full of new players who have known each other for five minutes and already the doom and gloom is being wheeled out.Give them a chance to show they are consistently shit before you consign them to the recycle bin. Christ.
The problem is that there's nothing new about all this. We've been having bad days at the office for four years. Talk to people who like football and are just vaguely interested in our fate - they say: what's going on with your lot, another poor result today? Not, "Oh bit of a slow start but sure you'll come good." This is a results game and ours are, at the moment, not good enough - especially in the light of R Murray's insistence that we need Championship football to break even and not have to face further cuts. Listen, I could be as philosophical about poor results as the next guy if it weren't for the fact that we've been getting signals from 'above' that the club's existence depends upon how well or badly we do this season. In the light of that, wins are what we need, draws are a disappointment, defeats are catastrophes.

Totally agree

Do people seriously think we are the only club buying and selling players?
Very true.
It is still early days yet but if we haven't "gelled" within the next 10 games I will be a bit peeved!

After the money we've spent I don't think Mr Murray will se it that way.
In fact he's stated quite the opposite himself.

Mr Murray is a bullish bloke and it would send a poor message all round if he was anything but positive in his public pronouncements.
Like all of us he wants automatic promotion but privately realises that there is a way to go.
I don't think any chairman would speak negatively 5 games or less into a league season.
If we play like we did at Orient we'll be promoted, lets hope we get the latter result on Saturday rather than the former
