Everyone is panicking about our lack of goals (and yeah, even shots), but I'm a bit more sanguine..........For a variety of reasons, those first 4 games were really tough. We had to set up to basically not get mullered (and we succeeded in 3 of 'em.) For me, the positive thing was that we showed (and importantly, the players showed themselves) that we can live and compete with these Premier League bastards.
We do need to stick a few goals past Woefulhampton Wanderers now though!
