Well we are exactly half way through the season after our win against Blackpool in the 23rd game!! And to boot we are exactly at halfway in the table in 12th position!!
So what can we say about the first half of the season?? Inconsistent results, on the whole good defence but lacking midfield creativity and definitely lacking a consistent goal scorer!! I don't think we will get relegated, not sure we will even get in trouble near the bottom, but I am not sure we will go any higher either with the current team.
Which brings me onto the January Transfer Window. We are currently 8 points off the play off places (Watford are playing Wolves as I type so could be 9 off them by the end of the day) and we are 11 points above the relegation spots. Question is where do we need to strengthen, who should we be offloading but probably more important is will MM give SG some decent money to spend anyway???? Not expecting to pay any transfer fees, but we do have space for some wages to hand out to freebies, especially if we offload 2/3 players.
We do not appear to be going anywhere currently under SG, so I suppose the other question is will MM stick with SG or will it take a dreadful run of results and a plummet down the table for him to make a change?? At the end of the day SG was and still is the cheap option for us, and we know MM likes that, but while it could be said he has stabilised the club and made us difficult to beat by improving the defence, we are sadly lacking any tactical nouse from him and have probably gone backwards as an attacking side!!
So what would you like to see happen, what do you think will happen and what will be our fate this season??
