We have conceded more goals than anybody but Hull and won 2 matches.I'd don't buy into a lot of the current criticism, most of it is without any merit,
There have been 3 horrendous performances already and we played well only at Stoke, where we still managed to throw an unlosable match away.
How you can say criticism has no merit is beyond me.
We are not looking good in possession, we look laboured and ponderous.But we are looking good in possession Reading was the only game we haven't scored
We have 2 very good loanees in Muniz and Giles who provide the only quality we have seen this season.
We were 14th last season when Warnock left. We need to get 14 points from the next 8 matches to better that poor start.This isn’t too dissimilar a group that went from 14th to 4th last season
Wilder bounced us to 5th by Boxing Day, then we ended the year at 5th after winning at Blackpool and 17 points from his first 8 matches.
We were 6th at the end of Jan and the close of the window after 23 points from Wilder's first 11 matches.
The problem then was we got 25 points from 18 matches, ending the season pretty much like we started it.
This has been 27 matches now since the Jan window closed where we have got 34 points.
It is 1.26 points per match.
We have played nothing like as well as we did at home to Forest that Boxing Day in the league since.
Of course it is possible to turn things round. It is possible to do a Forest. We do have a few good players. Our luck has to turn surely.
But realistically, the club did not back the manager with recruitment which has been poor since Scott came to the club. There is a daunting mountain to climb.
I know you know Viv that I desperately want us to do it as do the vast majority of posters on this board.
