But of the three games this season, we've beaten two teams who should be our rivals for promotion (and we should have won the other game). Currently it's winning us (important) games.

And should we not just enjoy the wins without worrying about games that we may or may not win in future?

I'm chuffed with the win and the fact that we've taken points off Oxford and Peterborough so early in the season. It gives us a good grounding going into October. If those results give the players a bit of confidence to push on and have more belief in the final third than they've shown so far then I'm chuffed with that as well.

But that has to be tempered with the realisation that we look very uncertain going forward. What's our plan to break teams down who close up to frustrate us? Where's the killer instinct in and round the box? Do we look like a team who can break effectively, switch play when needed, or can be patient enough to pick out a decisive pass when faced with 9 men ahead of us? I didn't see the Oxford game but the home games have been very unconvincing for me and I believe we'll get found out unless we up our game going forward.

The fact that we've stated with a different front man in each of the three league matches so far suggests that PP is unconvinced as well.
 
I don't think it's happening at the moment but we have had posts on here in the past in which people have said they'd want us to lose so the manager got sacked.
Although that does happen, it's just because they want the team to start winning again.
 
Im pleased we’re winning games but still have absolutely no faith in the manager. Long term he isn’t the answer but I’d be delighted if he got us promoted.
 
I know but it's really not the right way to go about it.
Granted. The end of a manager's reign is a depressing time though and people just want change to turn the corner. Unfortunately when we change manager we tend to get more of the same.

It has happened in the past on very rare occasions from a small number of people tbf.

But saying loads of our support were gagging for us to lose today is clearly wrong.

It was shit today. But we won against a half decent league 1 team. People are happy with the result, but perhaps concerned with the performances, and a clear lack of pace in the team.
 
Think a lot of you forget that even when you're shite, you will still be less shite than the opposition. This is league 1 after all. You've been spoilt!
 
I think if we have to simplify our opinions down to if we win we should be happy and if we lose we should be sad, football would be pretty boring.
 
Us older, and longer in the tooth supporters, recognise wins like today, although welcomed, and enjoyed, only succeed in prolonging the agony of a poor manager staying longer than he should.
