I am curious to know what people's expectations were for this season?
So far as I recall the general theme of dicussion last year was that we were miles away from getting back in the Champions League and we had a long road ahead, now, 11 games into the new season, we are slagging off Rogers for being stuck in mid-table.... is this not what most of us expected anyway and then going into the back end of the season our results picking up once everyone knew how they were going to play? Surprisingly, there were quite a few who thought we'd be challenging for top 4. The majority though thought that 8th or below would be a failure and that 6th or 7th was most likely. I maintain that finishing anything below 8th would be a disgrace but I'm certain that will happen.

Below 8th would be a failure for me, anything higher would be an improvement over last year and acceptable, top 4 would be a miracle.

I am a bit more optimistic, I can see us making a solid run once we are into the new year and finishing top 8 with a bit to spare. Our shot/goal ratio has to improve as well doesn't it ??? Surely it can't remain this low all season.
I was not expecting any mgr to come in and work miracles, patience is needed and like I said earlier I am actually enjoying a lot our football so I'm not going to slag off Rogers yet.

Finishing 6th, 7th or 8th with our squad shoudn't be classified as a miracle. Let's not forget that kenny hugely underperformed and we should easily have achieved top6. Therefore, asking BR to finish 7th or 8th isn't a big ask. From what we have seen this season, and that is all we 'can' judge him on, BR is doing a terrible job. It's too early to demand his head on a stick but I'm sure that the majority will be demanding just that come the summer.

I don't think BR has been terrible so far this season, but our finishing of simple chances has been terrible and the players need to carry the can for that, but for that we would be 8-10 points better off.

I don't think not scoring has been our biggest problem this season, I think shot/goal ratio has decreased (may be less shot though, but I don't have the stats), defence has been our biggest problem IMO.

It has - and it was our best area last season. So far it's been a monumental cockup.
