However, probably due to a combination of us making ourselves safe and the security of his new contract, he’s handled the media well lately. As a consequence, any debate about him tends to centre on footballing matters and, apart from the odd whinge about us still being dull to watch at times and his attitude towards Sam Bowen, I have few complaints there - even any gripe about style of play has to be qualified by the knowledge of where we were when he took over. Although, Ikpeazu drives me mad at times, it has to be said that all five new players can be judged a success and Warnock’s four central midfielders, who I thought was at the root of so many of our problems, has been virtually disbanded - Ralls, as he should be, is still there, but Vaulks, who’s playing a lot better these days, is probably not in our strongest team and Pack and Bacuna are struggling to make the eighteen.
I have been critical of Steve Morison and I’m sure I will be in the future because, in my experience people are seldom entirely right or wrong, but I’d also say that there are increasing signs that Steve Morison may just be a very good manager in the making - to get us where we are now from where we were just four months ago is some achievement.
As for Nathan Jones, he’s the Championship manager of the season at the moment in my opinion.
