Although it is worrying that our start to the season is following recent patterns set by JED and DA as mentioned above, the real problem is if poor results have a negative effect on confidence and the situation goes from bad to worse. Despite unconvincing performances, we should still have at least 4 points from our opening 3 games based on chances created (I actually mean from our home games, because we were lucky to get a point a PV). If we had, players would be confident and nobody would be getting on KC's back too much. As it stands we have 1 point and the tension may start to show on the pitch. When DA got sacked we had started the season playing good football but without scoring goals. After a few early defeats the performances stopped and the defeats got heavier.
I hate to hear managers use the phrase, but it really is a question of "fine lines" and I reckon we must win one of the next two to have a chance of building confidence and momentum in the team and preventing the kind of downward spriral that got DA sacked. There are still problems of imbalance in the team, but a bit of confidence and less "tweaking" from KC this year, might make a significant difference.
