Don't mind him, but he should have done better here. Didn't help having dumb and dumber above him introducing him to prospective new owners, having one scout (who was on sick leave), no cbs at the start of the season, Wyke being signed injured and poor, grigg being a monumental let down.
He wasn't the right manager to deal with all of that as he was too inexperienced and didn't know the level or a knowledge of players in England lower leagues. Started the season well but we conceded a lot and people complained. Tightened up defensively but then couldn't keep up the attacking approach. By the end he seemed to freeze or crack under the pressure.
Also the teams at the top rarely seemed to drop points so there was no margin for errors

Very good post, agree with all of that
 
He was awful here. If I remember correctly it started of alright but he quickly became to defensive and negative. I think it might have been after the Coventry home game. The play off final still pisses me off. Gifted a goal and he tried to defend it for the whole game. Poor coach
Tbf I thought it was further back than that. Think it was after the pompey thrashing he changed
 
Maybe a decent role for him as he's not cut out for management. I've noticed that it's a short term deal so them lot can't have too much faith in him doing well in that role either.
