I think....Carrick has to start picking the 11 most of the fans would pick. And we need a couple more back from injury like Lath, Coburn. Thomas needs to start for a game after Engel has had another stutter.
Anferee might need a full game if Ayling doesn't cut the mustard in the next game or two.

We potentially have a team/squad that can easily capture 5th or 6th spot but equally, with the injuries persisting and odd team selections we could quite easily stay mid table. Odds are for mid table or slightly higher but Carrick & his team of staff has surprised before with his particular way of motivating the players to achieve what they are capable of - excellent performances and goals. Just that we dont have a goalscorer fit as such....

Not sure I could disagree more on this. Carrick absolutely shouldn’t start doing what fans would do. I want the manager to do what he thinks is best not what the fans think is best. As soon as that happens the writing’s on the wall.

The difference though is that others sides don’t beat Leicester and Southampton then lose to Rotherham.

Of course they do, the championship is a notoriously difficult league to predict.

I'd also add that we were the last team to beat an inconsistent Southampton before they settled and went on an incredible unbeaten run and the Leicester win was by an odd (wonder) goal after setting our stall out to frustrate them.

Given all the factors I think we're still doing reasonable well.

I think what I’m trying to say is that most of the fans see who’s supposed to be in the team - most - not all though!
I actually think we are more into a transitional phase than we think we are…VDB in at the back and paddy Mac can’t get a chance, things like this tell me he’s the past and VDB not quite ready for holding us together for a promotion push but certainly the future
