Who's panicking? Very long way to go yet!

Has everybody gone mad? It's not even September yet and folk are almost hysterical about our form (after three league games). Forest outplayed Sunderland the other night in the cup too and were unlucky not to win it in normal time.
Those that were at Wycombe and Bury will tell you we played really well. I think there's potential here but of course mistakes at the back and an unsettled midfield need sorting quickly.
Yet Howe looks class up front and even (this will please Jody) Matt of the Blinkers did ok last week! Not sure about Roache yet but he's better than Jalal! In truth it's all about confidence and Jimbo is right to say that the fans can play their part in getting that first win.
The idea is to consolidate this season and maybe a good FA Cup run will get everyone excited and who knows...we might even do better than last year. McIlroy is trying to build a team that is more resiliant and consistant. Ironically that is going to take time and a few dodgy results.
It's all about results yes but lets wait another month or two at least before raising too many eyebrows. When we got promoted we had a poor start. In fact apart from last season we nearly always start slowly.
If we are near the bottom of the pile in November then yes that's the time to rant. But as it is now lets get behind the club and continue to prove folk wrong (like Dagenham and Accy) and move forward.
