I’ve said right from the start, he is learning on the job and NLN is as high as he can go. Last night’s match further confirmed that unless there is some sort if dramatic change in him, he is not the man for the long-term. His formation and substitutions last night were puzzling. Ill-informed people will say that to lose 1-0 against Tamworth when we played the best part of 40 minutes with 10 men is a decent effort, but the red card papered over the cracks. We were never really in the game, and struggled to string more than 3 or 4 passes together throughout the match.
That said, sacking JD when you’re second in the table is probably a little extreme, would be seen by most football pundits as a knee-jerk reaction, and would likely be out-of-character for the new board. We have to remember, Tamworth are on an incredible run of results and are top because they are winning every match they are playing.
