We are not playing well right now: we have issues bedding in the full backs, and have lost our most creative player. It is disappointing. But success is all the much sweeter when these kind of setbacks happen. Let's please not start calling for the manager's head after 4 poor results.

4 poor results that papered over the fact that we could have drawn our first 5 games. We could easily be on 5 points right now. Sure we're not but this run was on the cards if things didn't change. Luck is not a strategy at this level.

Red-Flyer, no it is not. The harder you work, the luckier you become. Are we working bhard? Can't even say. What are we working hard at? Can't tell you that either.
So what does that say? We are in a hole and Slot had better do the first thing you need to do once you realise you're in a hole. Slot had better stop digging.

Every team has a blip a poor run of results. My main concerns are we seem to be playing the same slow paced crap that almost all vilified Ljinders for when Kloppo took a step back. with only glimpses of anymore of intensity for a10 minute spell or when we're trying to claw a game back.
Last season, whilst I believe we won so easily cos the others dropped off, I was impressed with Slots ability to make multiple tactical tweaks during the game.
This time his changes always seem to revolve around shoe horning Dom into right back.
We have played well for 90 odd minutes over the season. So far.
In pre season there were glimpses of brilliance, when we played quicker. And we get the odd flash now and then. but its getting boring to watch us in the most part. pass it around the back slowly letting the other team either gain there shape easily or pressure us into a mistake.
Still I will watch in hope we improve and start playing with a bit more excitement in the game.
None of the new signings suit the slow boring tactics.
