When we were all giving our predictions for the coming season, we were all talking about mid-table/lower mid-table. Therefore we'd have to ask...are Boro and Cardiff away, games that we might reasonably expect to win if we are in 15th place. It seems to me that these are not the games we need to judge ourselves by.
I'm not minimising the need for more pace and more strength, but we are meeting teams coming down from PL or those who have spent very heavily over several seasons to build their squads. Maybe we need to take a reality check based on what we all thought before started. Seems like since the first kick, there's a lot of Unitedites who imagine that we should really have had 9 points.
