As far as I can remember, none of the regulars on this site ever said that Dack would not make the step-up.
I think you are very bold to say we are already better than half the teams in this Division. I reckon it's far too early for things to have settled into a pattern.
As for Brereton, I will be very interested to see him, and who he is going to replace. It's not a question of "moaning". A sceptical view is just as valid as an assumption that it must be right if Mowbray suggests it.
I will welcome Brereton and Reed, but I welcomed Murphy and Whittingham. No manger is beyond question.
I will be honest, though. I do think Reed is unnecessary. He covers exactly what Travis covers, and I'd rather see the latter given a chance than dispatched on loan.
It's just a personal opinion. But it isn't necessarily "wrong" simply because it is not in line with Mowbray's.
If they turn out to be brilliant signings, I will be very happy, but that won't mean I was wrong to express the opinion - for example - that someone like Gallagher would have been a safer bet. We'll never know!
Glad to see we've beaten them down to 6M, though - a much more sensible price.
