So far this season we've competed, stayed right up there so far. We have a horrible run coming up which may see us drop off but so far yes, I do see plenty of progress compared with last year which is the most immediate and valid basis for comparison.
Why are you comparing to last year, why not throughout Wumgers reign. We are miles off the Henry & DB team which is the team that we had when we were asked to move. If we were moving to improve our chances of competing at the top level, we should therefore expect a better team. True or not. However 10 years on, we are weaker up top than we've ever been, possibly the weakest in the EPL with a manager that doesn't see the need to buy quality or spend the extra 10 mill to get a player we really need.
You can only compare this to last if the manager was new, Wumger has had years to get it right but is really no closer than several years ago. Forget our current position, we really could be 5th or 6th by the end of March because we play against teams who are improving & we continually shit oursleves in these games.
