Over the last few weeks i've seen a lot of critiques of Roy along the lines of 'we should be doing far better with the squad we have'.
I'm not sure this is actually true and i reckon we are pretty much exactly where we should be. Looking at the table we definitely have a better squad than all those below us (including newcastle), but looking above us i'd say the only squad we are more balanced and talented than is Bournemouth and at a push Watford (and those are both debatable).
Watford and Wolves are over performing and probably will regress to their actual ability next year. 11th-14th is probably about where are squad ability lies in the league. If anyone disagrees, which squad are we comfortably better than?
I agree that Roy's selection is frustrating and some tactics have been baffling BUT.... should we really be much higher than we are?
Even if another manager proppelled us to 5th/6th there is no guarentee that lasts for more than a year (Billic, Pardew, Dyche last year comes to mind). Something to take in mind when calling for Roy to be sacked.
