I agree.

However, it is encouraging just how terrible the teams who came up are.

Need to get some wins soon though as Luton-Burnley has been put in for 3rd October so chance for one of them to get their season kickstarted.

It's a real crucial period for Luton this. They are spirited but early games have shown they aren't good enough in the final third. They now have homes v Wolves and Burnley and trip up here in next three so don't get a win from that and they'll struggle to get much above 20 points.

It's that which will sink them.

On the other hand we now look capable of creating and taking chances.

If we had our season start now with Fulham, Wolves and Sheff Utd in front of us we'd take 6 points minumum.

Unfortunately we've handed a start to the likes of Forest who look set up for the season (personally I dont think they'll stay out of the relegation fight).

Forest will be fine. Comfortable mid table as they've got real threat in attack with Elanga and Awoniyi (if he stays fit). Wood off the bench as plan B for last 20 minutes isn't bad either. He'd be the most obvious summer signing if Forest hadn't an obligation to buy so imagine him being signed instead of Beto....

I think already the table is splitting into three parts as predicted.

Wolves aren't very good and have lost 4 of their first 5 so Luton away is a very big match for Gary O'Neill next weekend.

Bournemouth haven't won yet and you'd expect them to be down there (think they'll get something off Chelsea).

And promoted three are very poor standard.

Fulham are poorer than last season but they'll get enough wins like today to stay clear.

It's basically a mini league of six so given already lost to Wolves simply have to do better v Luton and Bournemouth otherwise things get terminal for Dyche imo.

If we can just show a bit of fight tomorrow against Arsenal and then go into Luton and Bournemouth looking for the 6 points I will be happy tbh, anything less and I think he will be in hot water.

I count our season started aginst Shef Utd.

You cant judge us on the games without a striker.

If we keep our strikers fit then I can see us nosing our way into a a group of teams between 15th to 11th by end of autumn.

Brave talk from a supporter of a team with 1 point from 12 I know, but I think it's very possible.

Defence is weaker than last season though so it will balance out. If it can concede two v Sheffield United from their limited attacks it can concede two away to nearly everyone. And Villa game is indication of how well it will hold up v better standard attacks.

Going to have to be capable of scoring 3 regularly to win games this season imo. As good as Beto has looked so far it's big ask. McNeill back and ready to start now is a boost though as he's direct and is always getting shots away.

This season is basically on a knife edge already compared to other years when got round to January or February to experience that pleasure.

We didn't win a game last season until our 7th game either so we were in the mix just as early
 
I'd rather they pick up at least 1 point before they play us, given our previous in these situations, but I can see Luton breaking some sort of lowest points record this year.
 
Would like see a positive team against somebody like luton imagaine seeing both beto and dcl uptop. Shows the manager wants to put us on the front foot and attack
