When will the penny drop!

IMO the club have bought heavily this summer to set us up for a few years. No expectation to stay up. As Pace said, we are ahead of schedule.

I think you have short memory Turf,
After the Man City game Kompany stated dont worry every match we will get better.
When promotion had been achieved he then stated that he saw nothing to fear from many teams in the Premier League.
Next it was the bar is now much higher!
I am not expecting to see us play at the elite level, but expect to see players who have (at least the basics)
His pursuit of Matssen was naive as from day one he wasn't coming.
Poor recruitment -simple as that-team is too small.
As Stan used to say you need a cple of "Dogs of War" (aka Kevin Ball-Joey Barton)
Pace says nothing-the Premier adventure is being squandered!!
Brentford-Nottingham Forest worked it out-why cant we?

If I have a short memory, then you have a very short outlook. The world will not end if we go down this year.
Why is everything imploding because it's not going right first time? It's not, chill out.
As difficult as it is now, id rather see us go on this journey than tread water under garlick/dyche.

He did say that, possibly he was being a bit naive, at that point he was anticipating the defence solidifying around Beyer and Foster coming on in leaps and bounds up front, but for different reasons neither happened. He couldn't have seen that coming but it's football, sh1t happens, he should have been a bit more circumspect. I can forgive him though, it's part of the job to be optimistic, he has to be positive facing the media, what was he supposed to say, 'We can't compete at this level, we're fecked, we're going down' ? Even if he thinks it, he can't say it.
