Hardly. Trollope's expertise was not in troubleshooting, unlike his successor, and had little experience of management in the Championship.
From memory his philosophy was to set up like Real Madrid with a bunch of players who fell well short of the talent needed to play such a system.
His transport analogy would be one of being an unqualified driver on a runaway train.
