Nuremberg Royal Let's just take a breath. Most on here said they would be happy to finish one place above the relegation zone. ....and we are achieving that so far

Top Flight is not most people.
Just as beating Preston wasn't a sign we're brilliant, losing to Wolves isn't a sign we're terrible. We need to wait until we've had a decent run of games to see how we'll do. The defence, if anything is arguably weaker than last year with a midfielder playing there and we may still be lacking the killer instinct to score enough and finish games off. It's early days and Stam has to be given the time (and I don't mean 23 games) to build something.
That means the fans need to show patience, accept some knock backs and not demand we change our approach every time we have a few poor results. We are not a promotion hopeful this season and we should act accordingly.

I agree.
Stam and co will learn from this. It will be a few games until a pattern emerges and I think we'll be OK.
Look at Derby and Newcastle so far. I often look back to the first few games at the end of the season and they are usually irrelevant as to where teams will end up.
Yes you can read things into how you start but no more.
Stam will need to learn fast but I think we'll be OK.

Sutekh No match thread for this shambles of a game? Well that's what happens when you don't have a proper sponsored match thread.

I understand people being dubious and personally I would have preferred an English manager with a track record but we have what we have.
I have seen many positives as well as some negatives and like I say earlier, if Stam thinks we can pass the ball around out 18 yard box and not be punished then he has another thing coming. Teams will press us and force mistakes in this league.
