You've completely lost me here. Bizarre analogy.
Is this a fair analysis?
We nearly win at Leeds on the opening day. In honesty, we were lucky to still be in front for as long as we were, but we were gutted at just drawing there. Totally unexpected, we could have won. We could also have drawn at Leicester. Then, apart from tossing away a 2 goal lead at Ipswich, we win 4 on the trot in the league and are playing good football. We have a little wobble, then thrash Huddersfield and deservedly beat Bristol City. We're 5th, on merit, playing good stuff.
Since then, we're 17th in the form table. Only Stoke have scored less than us. We've won 4 and all of them have been ugly wins. No great performances of earlier in the season. Our 4 wins have been against sides in the bottom half, 2 in the relegation places. Preston have been in worse form than us. Millwall's keeper dropped one into his own net.
You have reguarly said our performances have been rubbish.
Let's be honest. The only reason we're in the top half was the great start we made to the season. On current form we're not likely to finish top half and I don't think there'll be much appetite to spend much in January.
If you were going to predict what might happen for the rest of the season you're hardly going to look at the first two months of the season as the best indicator, are you?
