I think it goes without saying he had his hand tied behind his back with the embargo in the summer and then having the budget for January slashed after a lot of work had gone into scouting players (apparently). I don’t think he has who he expected in January and I refuse to believe Tan spent 2m on Turnbull in January when he’s out of contract in the summer.

No matter who signed who and or who he wanted those are the players he has, it’s for him and his team to get the most out of them. Has he done that? I don’t think so. As others have said how many players have improved? Can make a case for Colwill maybe but no others have improved.

The negative tactics, lack of ability to change how we set up and his refusal to introduce any of the youngsters in recent weeks is more than frustrating. His substitutions are generally very erratic. I’m not sure he knows how to set up any other way and we are far too easy to play against.
