You can read that league position another way: we were ten points away from relegation - and four points from the play-offs.No.
1 point above 17th place Preston - we were floundering [after 17 games].

Warnock`s reign had more than a reasonable level of "injury" during "training" - before and after Morsy. We had no cover at left-back by a left back.
Neither Joe nor Luke have been regular first - team goalkeepers throughout their careers: [unless you count Luke`s 101 appearances in two seasons for Scunthorpe]?

Wilder - sorry "Chris" - has done ok, but he's made a couple of iffy calls on the goalie situation and the strikers, and he seems to be fluttering his eyelashes at Burnley into the bargain. We all have opinions and his privileged information (seeing these players day in day out) gives his opinions weight. I don't know though, I just have this feeling Connolly isn't this relentless scoring machine, this tank-like hold-up man in training; Lumley isn't this commanding, flawless defensive shield.
It's true, you can't really complain if the flaws are evident, and you don't address them. Fans will say what they see,
Fortunately there are some people who always support King, Country and the Boro and who can be relied upon to upbraid the haters. I say thank God for those people.
