peterborofox Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 Been doing a bit of research to see how Sousa started off at Swansea at the start of last season. It appears they needed time to get used to his style and system, just like we need time now. At the end of August, here is where Swansea were at the end of August. 5 points out of 15. Not good but similar to our start of 1 out of 12. At the end of September. They had only gained 6 points from the last month. End of October. They had started to improve, didnt let goals in and were now just 2 points from the PO's after a poor start. End of Novemeber. Albeit only playing three games, the Swans were now inside the PO's. And by New Year they had cemented their position inside it. Just to show that he needed time at Swansea after a slow start, but he turned it around and guided them to their highest ever finish. We need to give him time here too, theres no point judging him until at least the end of November, in my opinion anyway, and who knows by then we could be lurking just outside the playoffs and no one would care about the start then. Come on Leicester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 True, Martin O'neill had a slow start when he took over at Leicester. Not forgetting Roy Keane had a slow start with Sunderland when they won the championship. Oh and Forest had a similar start last season and ended up in the playoffs. Ipswich had a poor start to the season last year but are now third in the league. I can stop worrying now we will be fine based on these comparisons.

Royston. Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 Slow start indeed. Palace away in the opener was always going to be tricky. Point at home to Boro was a satisfactory result I thought at the time but given their poor start it wasnt much of an achievement. Beaten at Burnley, again no surprise. Reading home, disappointed we didnt get anything from it because they have had a poor start too. I expected us to be right down the table after a difficult batch of opening fixtures. Maybe we can put some kind of run together now and at least stay amongst the top ten. League cup is the only positive so far. We could do with a run in the Cups this season because I cant see us doing anything in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearfox Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 Okay slow starts happen and its only four games in but players have handed in transfer requests this is a lot more worrying than just a slow start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 Yeah its only 4 games blah blah blah, its still disappointing to see you team lose tho. Im not calling for sousas head and i know it will take time but thinhs are not right behind the scenes at the walkers. Ive just got a funny feeling sousa wont be here very long.

acooling08 Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 I fackin love you PF. We should have beat Boro, At least drew Reading, almost drew Palace, 1 point does not do us justice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon25747 Posted 29 August 2010 Share Posted 29 August 2010 Its our worst start in 16 years. Im trying to remain upbeat though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix Posted 30 August 2010 Share Posted 30 August 2010 Saints have sacked Pardew this morning due to their slow start to the season. Although they have 4 times as many points as us after 3 games with a W1 D1 L1 record so far. Bit harsh dont you think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallpauldj Posted 30 August 2010 Share Posted 30 August 2010 so this is where all the fans with the right attitude are i remember Reading last year to who started poor and couldn't win at home to save there lives, we even went there played crap and stole it. Altho i dont think we was that bad 2nd half a case of we deserved that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
