The international break is upon us and we head into it not quite bottom of the EFL Championship, courtesy of Cardiff City being worse than us.
But it shouldn’t be ignored that the only reason we are not bottom, after four games, is that the Welsh side have conceded more goals than us.
There were glimpses, against Queens Park Rangers, that some of our ideas were falling into our required playing scenario.
But, sadly, only glimpses.
We look a shadow of the side that earned promotion and, despite being relegated, gave everything in the Premier League.
On Friday night, at the final whistle, the Kenilworth Road support were not a happy bunch as the team left the pitch and, although these are early days as far as the season is concerned, it is a worrying start to the 2024/2025 season.
Talking to the BBC, after our second home defeat of the season and accumulating a miserly 1 point from the 12 available, Rob Edwards, as reported by our source had a lot to say in his post match interview, starting with:
“It’s on me, and it’s on us, there’s no doubt about it.”
“We put ourselves in a great position to win the game, 1-0 up and I thought playing really well in the first half, I thought we were still in really good control until their first goal.”
“I thought we should have gone 2-0 up, we had a big, big chance, but that can happen. The goals were really disappointing, I’ve been saying that for too long and again, it’s on me, I’m not blaming anyone.”
It’s brave of Rob to accept the blame but, from what I saw, several players, including some of our big names, are not doing themselves justice, I’ll leave you to name names.
Continuing, the gaffer further added:
“People can make mistakes, but then there’s got to come a point where we’ve got to deal with them better.”
We must, if we do harbour promotion ambitions the table shows we are already a massive eleven points behind the leaders, Sunderland.
That is a huge gap to make up and a gap, at the moment, I do not believe we are capable of doing so.
There are two weeks to go until we travel to take on Millwall, at the New Den, already, despite my optimism, I’m not sure things, in the short term, are going to improve enough to change the flow of results.
Remind me, how many games have we won out of the last twenty-odd?
COYH
Millwall v Luton Town?
Millwall to Win!
Luton Town to Win!
A Draw!

Morning MH What a poor performance even our £10 million defender making mistakes.if Adebayo goes to Everton perhaps their coaches will show him to chip an onrushing goalkeeper? is Morris fully fit as he seems unable to beat many central defenders when attempting to head on our own goal kicks?. We really needed to sign another striker with the large sum of parachute money we had available instead we buy two more mid fielders who are not even available to play?? With regard to our two back up strikers one cannot even score from penalties and the other a lightweight who is easily knocked of the ball. May be one for the future but we needed someone NOW,
Many supporters are asking where has the money really gone and was it value for money??

MH i believe it’s 1 win in 23, half a season basically & 1 goal scored by us in 360 mins in the league.
Time to bench Eli or Carlton and start a pissed off Taylor & revert to back four, three at the back isn’t working
i’m not going to argue with that!
by the sound of things we better get used to league one. give it a chance, players coming back from injury will make a massive difference. you all know the score, show some patience. these players need time to gel. i am as pissed off as anybody about our position, but moaning won’t help. COYH.
It seems nobody on here remembers Keith Allan niawobi or Douglas all played like Eli !!!
