In answer to the main question No I'm not particularly.

We've not got the results we wanted and have given away some really sloppy goals but we're 3 points off 3rd place.

Our form won't stay like this forever, I think we've actually turned it around to a large degree already because we've created a lot more in the last 3-4 games after a few disjointed attacking displays.

We need to improve defensively and I think we will, it's just not something we can fix quickly when the back 4 (and DM) is constantly changing, the last time we had the same defence 2 games running was Man U and Fulham, and we only conceded 1 goal across those 2 games.

I get that expectations are high amongst fans, we want to win every game and find it hard to take when we're so far off that, but I think that has to be taken with the fact that, aside from Liverpool, no one in the league looks miles ahead of anyone else and only really Southampton look out of their depth at the bottom.

I reckon if he'd have stuck that chance away at West Ham we'd have seen a different player this season, but that said we can't rely on someone who's confidence is so fragile.

That was a fantastic effort by leon. That was probably the first glimpse of last seasons bailey.

Maybe the style of play and the shape isnt suiting Leon  and he is struggling as a result. You dont just become a bad player over night.

If he scores tomorrow the fans going should blow the roof of in support for him.

A bit worried that in spite of all the improvement under Emery we might still be far away from winning a trophy.

I think the only chance we have with him is for either the Europa League or Conference League. We're never going to win the Premier League, and he doesn't take the domestic cups seriously, so we have to hope for one of the lower European trophies in a future season, if we qualify.

You’re forgetting that we’re basically a mid table team now, so we won’t be in Europe. Therefore we will take the domestic competitions more seriously, winning both next season.

How are we ‘basically a mid table team now’ exactly? We’ve played 12 games in a 38 game season and currently 3 points of third.

That’s not my personal view Jon. It was more a comment on where the more gloomy posters seem to think we are.

So is half the league tbf. We literally are in the middle section of the table as it stands. Although personally I think we ill improve.

Bailey starting to show little shoots of a return to form in last couple of matches, Konsa, Kamara and Cash back - Am I worried? Not in the slightest!

3pts v Juve tonight, followed by 9pt run in the league over next 3 games, starting at Stamford Bridge on Sunday!  UTV
