For me you have to ask why we aren't sacking McDermott.
On paper we've got the likes of Butland, Kenny, Byram, Pearce, Murphy, McCormack and Wickham. All likely to be able to hold a place down in the vast majority of Championship club sides. (Yes even Murphy)
In the second tier you've got Smith, Mowatt, Warnock. Players we know who can add value but maybe not as consistently as they should.
Then there's Wootton, Poleon, Stewart, players allegedly with potential.
The final set, Peltier, Hunt, Tonge, Kebe, Zaliukas, Pugh and Austin. Experienced professionals, not great but certainly capable of putting in an average shift.
I'm not sure where I'd put Lees. I remember the game against Hull City a few seasons' ago where we beat them 4-1. We were raving about some new talent back then but he hasn't moved on.
Back to the point, this squad is capable of so much more. So what's not happening?
For me the buck stops with the manager. Tactics, team selection and motivation.
1 win in 15 games as you can't count the Huddersfield game. That record is appalling.
