I am sure CW is, and has been seen to be,critical of some performance (Hull for example) and rightly so. Similarly, and whilst delighted with progress, it does not mean that fans cannot criticise either.
Yu rightly say that, at the beginning of the season, we would have been more than happy with mid table but, to a degree, CW is a victim of his own success.
He raised the bar with the magnificent start, he also raised exectations and now, looking back at recent results ( not performances) those expectations and raised hopes are teetering on the brink when, with a bit more clinical finishing we could be 7 or so points better off ( B/ford, Cardiff,Barrnsley) and nailed on for the play offs.
Those lapses give SBT, and others that want to, the right, and the reasons,to be critical.
