I'm not convinced that Warnock is the wrong man for the job just yet but this type of reasoning fails to acknowledge the reality. Firstly, they picked us off fair and square and we failed to take advantage of our chances. Same thing against Newcastle, Huddersfield, Leicester and Bournemouth. Whilst we didn't look totally out of our depth in any of those matches, they all ended the same, with us dropping points.

Teams know that if they bide their time, they are likely to get a few good chances against a defence that is shaky. They also know our end product is pretty much non-existent. That's the reality.

Somehow, we have to shore things up at the back. Get a couple of clean sheets. Work from there.

We'll need at least 7 (but ideally 9) from Brighton, Wolves and Southampton. I think that if we get any fewer then NW might be under real pressure.

The positive. We'll get more points than Derby.
