Should fans really be dissapointed with our start to the season?

when you look at the teams we have lost against: Hull, Tottenham, Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Newcastle, Liverpool, only one of them games - Hull, you would say we should have got at least a point from especially being a man up for most of the game. Apart from Hull and perhaps a point against Villa at home, you would regard them as bonus games.

We are beating teams who are at a similar standard to us and should we win against Swansea and get something against Sunderland, I dont think anyone should bemoan the season so far. Seven of our next nine league games are all winnable and I wouldnt be suprised if we were in the top half of the table by start of February. Lots of signings were made in the summer and its only been until recently that Hooper has been fully fit.

I think a win against Swansea could change the morale around FCR with the fans being in favour of Hughton again.

- I predicted 17 points from 15 games in Lee's prediction league (NCFC) - Klobo04, Dec 13, 17:58:47
- Of course they shouldn't, it's been a decent start to the season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 13, 16:46:09
- For me it?s more the manner in which we approach games (NCFC) - Duck, Dec 13, 16:35:45
  - 'I never feel we take it to the opposition' - apart from all the games we have, of course. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 13, 17:16:51
    - Number of times under Hughton we've won a game by more than a single goal (NCFC) - Duck, Dec 13, 18:14:13
      - And? So we didn't take the game to Southampton, Stoke, Villa, Cardiff, West Ham, Palace, W (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 13, 18:17:39
- makes sense to me (NCFC) - munchen, Dec 13, 16:34:52
  - I'm not sure that last sentence is true (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 13, 16:53:45
    - Wouldnt disagree with that.... (NCFC) - munchen, Dec 13, 17:15:44
      - yeah, Hooper looks very promising at the moment (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 13, 17:38:07
- Only point i'd probably disagree with is the villa game (NCFC) - megson, Dec 13, 16:33:28
  - We should have won it. Didn't make the most of our chances. (NCFC) - APB, Dec 13, 16:35:56
    - Aye, and that happens over a season (NCFC) - megson, Dec 13, 17:00:05
      - but the other side of the coin (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Dec 13, 17:10:32
        
        Automatically hammered is just plain wrong. Arsenal? Chelsea? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 13, 17:39:27
        
        Fair point (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Dec 13, 19:32:45
        
        And the flip side: we've been picking up far more points around those below us than before (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 13, 19:37:02
        
        that's another myth, that we've been consistently hammered against the top sides (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 13, 17:27:11
