That seemed very optimistic when it was published. It seems even more so now.

Trying to work out what Tan is thinking is always a risky business, but I'd be surprised if even he is considering getting shot of Warnock at this early stage.
To be fair, if we'd been able to take advantage of 10-man Hudds and Newcastle then that would have been right. I don't think we're far off where we need to be - it's just that the players themselves need to believe they are good enough before we'll see from them what they were capable of delivering in the Championship. It's a really delicate balancing act now. Beat Burnley on Saturday and I think they'll start to relax a bit. Lose and we're in trouble...
