We now seem to be able to score goals from all over the pitch, but we've had that since Warnock has been here.
After relegation, and losing six players in Arter, Camarasa, Niasse, Gunnarsson, Zohore and Manga , it was always going to be difficult. But our signings have been unimpressive and we are relying on Ward and Bogle, two players who will be gone at the end of the season and Bacuna, who was signed as cover last season, and Tomlin , who was also on his way out for the last two seasons (and who will be gone next summer too).
Having said that it could be a lot worse, look at Stoke, Huddersfield. So to be where we are and in with a chance in most games is not bad. Considering we are not even playing well to be on 18 points and not far off Play Off places or even top spot is pretty good in my book.
