Obvious statement really - but in our wish to make sense of what we're seeing (which is not good) we are "going too early" with our conclusions: give it 6 more games and then we'll be in a position to assess Edinburgh and his squad as trends begin to emerge. I can't see us getting into a depressing downward spiral without the Chinese co-owners becoming vocal, however if we teeter along in mediocrity they'll have to stay quiet... one thing the Chinese psyche wants in business is value for money.
Good results in the next 6 games or so will take off any pressure.
I take your point Steve but looking at the fixture list we could conceivably be still looking for our first point of the season when we play Doncaster at home in September - if this is the case the pressure on JED will be immense. Although charlton are a bit flaky you'd expect them to be strong at home, Peterborough look worryingly strong as an attacking force and I'm already dreading that fixture and then it's Wigan away. The two home fixtures at the start of September - Doncaster and Portsmouth - look the most likely but neither of them are mugs either.
