4 Despite a lack of first team coaching experience and no guarantee of employment beyond the summer he has had the balls to dramatically change the way we play.
5 The January transfer window was possibly the most successful for a very long time when you consider he had to operate solely in the loan market. Compare that to the money wasted by others - especially Warnock.
6 The improvement in all aspects, has been remarkable given where we were when he came in.
7 He doesn't court popularity and is prepared to take unpopular decisions. I note that, many are annoyed by the fact he appears to call out the youngsters and not the more experienced players. But he has to at least keep them motivated till the summer because, no matter how good our youngsters are, they will not keep is up.
8 if we win tonight - and that is an if - we can probably look up rather than down. Given where we were, that is remarkable.
It is hard to imagine anyone doing a better job when all is considered.
