The transformation of the midfield has been enjoyable to see, all the more so because it's EXACTLY what was needed.
Look at the preseason game v Blackpool, and the first two games of the season: all featured a 2-man midfield. The two players in question weren't suited to playing in a two (none of our midfielders are, IMHO) so what happened in each of those games? We lost the midfield battle, comprehensively, and spent over an hour in each game sat in a 541 defending endlessly.
Fast forward to today: we've reverted to a 433 and bought in 3 new CMs who (in addition to being upgrades) complement the squad midfielders too. We're already seeing a mild improvement in Davies as a consequence.
Net result? Competitive midfield. Takes pressure off the defence and strengthens the attack.
As others have said, we can finish 12th barring any catastrophic injury to key players.
