Yep, the old 10 games to find out scenario. Everything that happened before is totally irrelevant, all that matters is the first 10 games. Maybe we should move to decimal seasons, where eveything is done in tens. Unfortunately, history tells us that after 10 games, you pretty much get the pattern for the season, and then it's very hard to turn things round.

Fair play to everyone who is desperately trying to find positives in one of the worst managerial appointments in our history though. The data is not on your side.
