Unfortunately it looks likely that oufc are going to be in a relegation dog fight this season. To light weight, not enough signings in the summer is costing us.
What's worse? A relegation battle, or a relegation dog fight?
Early days still and we've been Jekyll and Hyde. Excellent against Sunderland and then off the pace against the much more limited Coventry. Romped to a few cup wins and had our defensive pants down in league games against Barnsley, Portsmouth and Accrington.
I was chastised by one poster on here by suggesting that I wasn't convinced that the squad wouldn't avoid relegation and today's performance still confirms that. I think we're still unbalanced and lacking in certain areas BUT do have some exciting talent.
It's a constant grumble from me but our glacial pace at signing players in the summer is still costing us and will for a bit longer. Whilst other clubs are in their stride, we're still going through pre-season motions in getting players up to speed (see Mackie and Holmes).
A long way to go, but we're going to have to pick it up soon or we could be struggling.

Seriously? I’ve seen enough to say not a chance.
Speculating ...battle is on the ground, dogfight is up in the skies?

Come back in January for a truer picture, and that is a long,long way away yet.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
