I thought in GP post match interview, when the SSnerd kept trying to get a soundbite from GP about the red card.
GP turned a negative into a positive, on commenting on the red card into how the players took up the mantle and played for the team.

Plenty to be positive about and lots of signs of progression. We also have the benefit of now having a different and more positive approach to away games which means we can start picking up points and wins away instead of solely relying on our home form

We'll need to though, as we seem to have given up winning at home.

Argh! Sorry. Negativity.

Positives? Our new away form will ensure we hump Citeh.

We've still got 4 points from 3 games and scored (for us) an incredible 4 goals. Considering we averaged less than 1 a game last season, there's still improvement.

But look at the trends

Win draw lose

Goals for 3. 1. 0

Goals against 0. 1. 2

Pressure will be off when we go to city as I no longer expect us to win that one.

It’s brilliant isn’t it. 3-0 at Etihad if the sequence repeats, and it can hardly continue to get worse unless somehow VAR gives us -1 goal and -3 points.

Yeah the new Propper is a wonderful thing.
I concede that he is much improved under Potter and one of the early successes.

I think most of us knew he was a very good player as we saw him playing for Holland.
I will leave the reason why he didn't perform as well for us well alone.

The thread is serious, the title is wrong.

Perhaps in homage to HWT it should have been:-

'Reasons To Be Cheerful Part One'.

But at the Amex we've got 1 point and 1 goal.

Neither match against a top 6 side.

There's more than one way of looking at the situation.

Three games in, we’ve been entertained, frustrated, joyous and miserable and been in every game until the final minute

You won’t hear me complaining, I don’t expect us to win the league or even set the division alight. I know our place and it’s the arse end of the division and we’re not even down there yet!

Are the odds for an Albion win better than the 22/1 I got for the game at the Etihad last season?

Edit, I see William Hill have us as 35-1
