If you mean 'will be', who knows? It's 4 games in. So far it's been a mixed bag, results wise, but City aside no-one is sweeping all before them - and you know what City are like, they can get a bad result, start to sulk and go into freefall for a bit. Last season we lost it in the first 12 games, we cannot do that this year but right now after 4 games despite some ropey performances we're not out of it. Nor is anyone really after 4 games but realistically you cannot win 4 of your first 12 games, as we did last year, and expect to win the title. P4 W2 D1 L1 is neither stellar nor a disaster.
The lack of goals is the biggest worry. We've clearly been trying to address it but haven't been able to recruit our targets. There's time left, but it's a worry because I don't think we'll find internal solution.
