Expectancy level? You've got to be realistic!

Ok we've had a poor start and it's not been good enough defensively. We all want that first win but then the fixture list comes along and says it might yet have to wait that bit longer. We'll see.
Thing is if you want to look at it another way we've only lost two games all season. Same as Crewe in fifth spot. Yes they've won four games but if we'd been pro about it we could have beaten Hereford and Rochdale and maybe drew at Barnet. All a bit abstract i know but it's sometimes a thin line between top and bottom this early in the season.
If by the end of October we're still down there then yes people will be getting itchy trigger fingers. The added pressure of the new ground might be an influence further down the line. Again we'll see. But what do people expect?
We're a small fish (amongst several others) in this big pond. To stay up every season is what i regard as a success. Yes you've got to aim higher. Sammy's signed some good players this season to that effect. We're scoring goals again. But sadly like the last manager has ignored the defence, and by that i mean we need more quality in there. But lets give Heining a chance when he comes back. He's got something about him but will need time to settle in.
The bottom line is you need consistancy at every club. And that has to come through continuity. Sacking people here there and everywhere usually has the opposite effect to the one you wanted. The board at this club is superb. They are aware of what's going on. Some fans should get real and at the very least wait until the clocks go back before spouting all this crap about changes. Another six or seven games and it might all be different.
The moaners should get to Rotherham with the rest of us and make some noise that at least might be useful in getting behind the team.
I've not always been Sammy's biggest fan but he deserves more of a chance than six games. Honestly i just don't get the mentality of some so called fans.
