I think it's safe to say now that we'll never see exciting football under Jackett, it's mind numbing at times. He talks the Talk but fails to walk the Walk.We should be blowing the majority of teams away at this level, with performances like these if we go up we will be straight back down again. We might be 2nd in the League. But its a poor League & Leyton Orient are showing how to score goals for fun. Jackett said we played well today, God help us

A bit harsh. I don't think the teams around us are worse than the bottom half of the Championship. It's just unusual to have such a spread in one division with a huge gap between the best and the worst. We have lost only once this season, normally that would be enough for clear top.
Orient have surprised everyone themselves included. Same with Burnley above us. I think Orient are more worried about us catching them than we might think.
Let's hope help comes from somewhere. With 'spporters' like you, we'll need so much of it!
We're not creating enough or scoring anywhere near enough goals. It's all pretty dull most of the time, there seems to be a total lack of confidence through the side. As has already been said, we should be blowing some of these teams away, especially at home on such a great pitch.
Brand new young team playing first team football for the first time and every team in the league wants to beat us. So our points tally and league position is good. I think we will get better as the season goes on. KJ has only brought in Ricketts and Henry who have both been excellent.
I will reintegrate what I have said previously, playing for wolves in L1 is a hiding to nothing. Some of you expect us to win the league by Christmas. The realists will be satisfied with getting out of the league, there is immense pressure on a relatively young squad to be successful this year. Get behind them build confidence and the results will follow.

I agree with DAT. After last season we'd be kidding ourselves if we expected to run away with this league. Some people thought we'd do that last season and they were totally and completely wrong! (Like Bristol C this season).
We've lost our "best" players, played youngsters and some of last season's underperformers (Stearman, Doyle, Edwards) and signed players who aren't even playing for good Championship teams. Where do you expect us to be? KJ has done really well which ever way you look at things.
