It’s not been the best start for us. But why? Time for a quick examination to see if we’ve just been plain unlucky or if we feel like we’ve got it totally wrong as the early couple of weeks bring nothing but below average scoring to kick off this week’s show. Then, it’s onto form vs fixtures: are we losing faith too soon in some, while jumping onto…

After a rather lackluster opening weekend, we’re glad to be given the chance to talk out our various grievances this week as a lot of sliding doors moments deprive us of a fire start.
