    But 2 losses so far this season doesn't mean we've reverted back to last season's form. Why not judge after 5 or 10 games?

    Have you forgotten just how impressive our home form was? Especially in the 2007 half of last season, maybe not so much in '08, but in '07 we could match anybody at home, and as an example we BEAT the best team in our league at home.

    I'm led to believe

    that De Silva cost £700,000 and Muller £400,000. I would certainly say that both players are worth that transfer fee and I'm well aware that some other clubs have spent more on players, but I wouldn't call such transfer fees a shoestring.

    I agree, but in spending that on one or two players it means you have less to spend on other positions, plus we pay lower wages. I think Burnley are a good example to compare against. Bigger town, bigger attendacnes, bigger wages, bigger transfer fees, yet they will probably finish lower mid-table and we are expected to compete with them

    So because we never do well at QPR and always lose to lower league

    opposition....it's fine is it?

    Davey has made huge strides over the summer, it's obvious for all to see.
