Wolves fans generally on social media saying congratulations for the result and they're jealous Forest have Nuno and not them.

They know the exceptional job he did for them. Similar sized clubs if we're honest, and he had them punching too.

The more and more I hear Nuno speak to the media, the more I like him. He's doing and saying all the right things and the feel good factor is back.

After coming into the shitshow he did with points deductions, Clattenberg and having to take over from Stevie Cooper, it's so impressive. He's shown himself to be a fighter and his team are fighting with him.

Absolutely love it how we sit tight in the first half and then turn the screw in the second, I heard Wolves fans say he did that a lot there, if we go in level at half time there's a really good chance we'll tighten and exploit in the second half.

We also set up slightly differently for every team, bar the Fulham experiment it's great to see us not being 1 dimensional, plus those defense stats, he's a bloody wonderful man!

I think if I was a manager I'd prefer to be higher, surely there's a better view and you can just have a loud-mouth assistant to bark the orders.

Surely at pitch level it's difficult to see anything, even worse if you're Bielsa and basically sit on the floor.
Never go full Steve McLaren away at Watford.

Breaking down results game by game I reckon we've had
  • 3 par results: Palace, Southampton and Bournemouth
  • 2 underperformed results: Wolves & Fulham
  • 4 overperformed results: Liverpool, Chelsea, Brighton & Leicester.
Which bodes really well because my "par" expectation probably would see us around 12-14th, so if we can net higher than par like we are curently doing then we've got a really good chance of finishing top half.

I 88.89% agree.

But, with Bournmouth being without their best forrad at the time, I'd have that as an sub-par result.

Matters little in the grander scheme of things though. When it was just early results getting sub-par results to the likes of Wolves, Bournmouth & Fulham was a bit concerning, but there's a reason folk say give it 10-12 games to start judging the season, and the rest of your post highlights that.

Feels so good to be confident in our genuine Prem side now. Mega.

First games of the season are always tighter than you'd expect as teams are still finding fitness and new players still adapting. I wasn't disappointed with the draw vs them and they'll probably finish mid-table anyway, unlike Wolves.

Done the same analysis - if you think what we deserved out of games we would be 5 points better off - that would have us in 3rd now
Wins against Wolves & Bournemouth
Draw against Fulham - although we were poor - a penalty that never was and 2 not given at the other end

Not being greedy though - more than happy with where we are

Two challenging but very winnable home games coming up before the final international break.

Win them both and we'll probably go into it in the top 4. Too much to hope for?

Unfortunately I'm going to have to put a dampener on that. Everyone getting carried away with all the "Nuno this" and "Europe that" not realising that its simply impossible for us to maximise points from those two games.

We have to remember that the Suns "Supercomputer" only had us getting 21 points this entire season, therefore as we are already on 16 two wins takes us above their highly scientific and accurate predictor and therefore we will just have to settle for 5 points over the next 29 games.

Don't come back at me questioning the supercomputer either, when has it ever been wrong before?

That supercomputer prediction just reeks of a monte carlo simulation whereby there was some analysis done on each teams squad strength which resulted in certain weightings per team, and then when they input ours they accidentally input Southampton's weighting instead.

All the other predictions are pretty good I'd say. Palace are obviously too high but would have been based on their strong end to season last year.

Palace are better than their league position at the moment.
I fully expect them to be mid-table by the end of the season.
Leicester to win 10 games?
Deep Thought wouldn't have come up with that.
And forest have already 4 victories to their name, so f*** off super-computer.
