Inviting dog's abuse by starting such a thread, mind.
I'd like the OP to be honest and say has the backlash affected him? Some philosophical insight would be nice.
He did ... it's supposed to get worse!

There's some wise old sages on this thread mind who clearly felt we'd be top after ten games.
Aye right you are

Nobody knew we'd be top. Most people weren't shitting their knickers though.

I did say a few times before the season started that we'd be promoted by February.
Or was it last season?

You should double down with your prediction and we may go further. Hopefully, this is like the Harry Kane thread when we win the Champions League.

Must be our best ever or close to it now?
Must admit I was fearing the worst given the end of last season, and some on paper tough games to start.

Joint best ever start to a league campaign isn’t it?
I don’t think we should get carried away just yet though! It’s a long hard season.

The same people who said we'd be battling relegation this season and falling over themselves to tell everybody.2 bad results & a few on here will be saying relegation.
Fine margins & all that
Me too, but regis seems to find ways to win that make me think a lot. Yesterday i thought we were at times bullied off the ball, but it didnt matter as our squad didnt shrink and were playing with alot of freedom and confidence in each other and i wasnt expecting the collective to be so effective.... Isidors goal was an eye opener and just enjoying the ride.. However, i still hate the mag loving leadership and that incident can never be forgiven.a

It is fair to say we are doing far better than I expected. I thought pretty much a continuation of last season.
On the management side, we have not really seen a big tactical switch that changes games, but even when things are not going well we keep grinding out results with subs mainly bringing on fresh legs.
Hull was a difficult side to break down. They were well organised, got bodies back in the box quickly (though our build up was painfully slow), but they were quick on the break and had a couple of very strong players. But we just wore them down and restricted them to very few clear goals.
Glass half full, that is the sort of game that wins you promotion. Difficult, hard work but won anyway. Glass half empty, we let Hull get on top in the second half and could have easily lost that if they had someone who could hit the target. If they had brought on their young striker Burstow it could have been a very different game. 0-3 to us I suspect.
