September Optimism Gauge

This poll will be open for the first week of the month.

Think we will concede a huge amount of goals and not convince we play a style that will lead to us scoring loads despite the attacking players brought in.

Much more optimistic than 4-5 weeks ago.  Think we will just miss out on the play-offs - mainly due to the lack of cover in defence (except right backs playing anywhere but right back) and our apparent propensity to settle for a draw.  However, although my aspirations for the season are a whole lot better than they were in July (when survival was the name of the game) missing out on the play-offs should be viewed as a massive failure.

No clean sheets in all six league games, lack of options at centre back, and although we clearly have quality players going forward we still don't seem to have a plan of how to exploit it best as a team.

Feeling pessimistic.

Rock bottom.

Nothing has changed since last season if anything we have regressed defensively.

If there is no change in manager I fancy us to finish midtable which would be pathetic given the players we have compared to other championship sides.
