I honestly thought they'd be doing a lot better. 1 win in 11 games in the Championship so far. Weak.
One thing often gets glossed over is, they weren't just relegated last season, they were adrift at the bottom, their season was calmintous. There was a lot of rebuilding work to do there, and they chose the wrong man to do that kind of job.
A big problem they have is all the other teams see them as a big scalp, remeber they are the self proclaimed "biggest ever club to be relegated out of the PL", and like we saw today the smaller clubs riaise their games when they play them. They don't have the quality to overcome that.
I think they will be lookinging downwards rather than upwards this season, I predict a finish around 12th at best.
Keane had similar start with the mackems (not to this extent, but a similar rebuilding job), they still went up as champions.
Didn't Keane start winning pretty much straight away after being appointed when Quinn did terribly?
Yeah, they lost the first four games but picked up pretty much straight away when he arrived.
