Both sides of this debate have a point tbh.
Don't think it's right to suggest that there hasn't been progress. Table is tight and we're probably over performing points wise, but there's been good performances sprinkled through the season and a few first team players have improved.
Equally though I don't think there's a lot of long term thinking being employed by the manager at least. Don’t think it should be controversial at all to acknowledge that the young players signed have been managed poorly.
