I'm not so sure about this carnage on the keyboards theory. It's a transition season for us hampered by several things beyond our control and I think even the hardest critics will (hopefully) realise that.
6 months ago I'd have been hoping for top 6, but with the sh1tstorm we've had to put up with I would take survival right now, although i think we will surprise a few.
There will be losses but I for one won't be critical if we see overall progress with a better style of football in development under the new coach. He hasn't had long with a new group of players before Saturday comes and we may not see all the additions he wants this week so for me patience is what's needed.
Sorry gents but I'm not seeing the meltdowns coming, this season is purely about survival, as long as we survive and build from there thats all that matters, everyone I've spoken to or anyone's posts I've read are of the same thinking.
Think the frustrations were due to being the big fish in the championship, where for the most part performances were deserving of criticism regardless of the results.
Agree that this year especially, getting enough points is the main objective however earned.
Consolidate first as this will boost the confidence and attract better quality.
We all want Utd back in top 6 and challenging for trophies, we all want Utd playing in a style that pleases our eye, but right now we have to accept we are taking the first steps on that path.
Regardless of performance or results, whilst taking these early steps the team need full backing from fans.
Any criticism should only surface when we've earned the right to demand performances.
Ogren's investment has given us the chance to play in Premier, let's hope that Mellon makes sure the players earn the right to stay.
Before last season started 'all that mattered' was promotion. Well, everyone seen that attitude changed for some folk as the season progressed...
"Dundee United expected to close deal to bring Manchester City wide player Luke Bolton to Tannadice on loan".
