The above statistic is one quoted on Final Score at the weekend. I've not checked it.
If it is correct, then it points towards a systemic issue with player recruitment and ownership "strategy" rather then - or perhaps in preference to - blaming the players or the manager.
Playing squads need to suit the task. The Championship is league of teams who play in a very physical and direct style. I'm always a little intimidated when the teams line up at the start because the opposition always seem to be taller, bigger than our boys.
Many Championship sides are very direct. Get it wide and cross it or overwhelm the central midfield and bully through the centre. Our boys seem to be spectacularly ill equipped to deal with either.
Our boys seem to think that the opposition should stand back and admire their ball skills, rather than be getting in their face,
The manager needs to recognise the flaws and tell whomever is recruiting players what he wants. I suggest that Mr Still is not doing that - just grateful to have such an opportunity.
If the manager is not willing to match other teams, then he needs a plan which doesn't allow oppositions to dictate play. He doesn't have that plan. He needs help or he needs to recognise that the job here arrived with him a little too early.
Either way, 4 wins in 50 games means that the owners investment is losing value every game; the club becomes desperate for any sort of available talent, regardless of whether they are what we need; good players who are available will avoid us.
We are in a spiral - downwards - and doing the same thing with the same players is not how to stop that trajectory. |  | | |  |

It is correct and it's an all-time league record, breaking the previous reord of 5 in 50, held by Derby.
We are record breakers! [Post edited 27 Oct 9:36]
