Have a read, see whether you agree or disagree with Graeme and then add your own comments section down below.

Verdict: The natives are getting restless and increasingly angered by Garry Monk’s inability to find a settled side. Individual errors haven’t aided his cause and it looks unlikely that the pre-season target of automatic promotion can be achieved. It is still possible but we will have to go on a monumental run from now until the end of the season. The positive to cling to is that we have shown in glimpses what a good side we are capable of being once we truly click.

Where has this season gone right/wrong: Inability to find a settled side has hindered progress.

Best moment: Beating Sunderland is always nice.

Lowest moment: Losing at Leeds.

Best and worst opposition teams: Derby looked organised and devastating on the counter-attack. Birmingham were simply awful.

What needs to be done in the transfer window: Sign Kyle Bartley.

Predicted finish: Second, just.
