The worrying thing was earlier in the season when he was unable to see what was abundantly obvious to a significant number of fans. His planning had been sussed and he convinced himself that it hadn’t. What’s more – he was right and that was that!
Happily, he finally backtracked and this alone saved our season.
Unhappily, the points subsequently lost by draws and indifferent match-play were never going to be fully covered by his more rational approach. This is why we have not already been promoted.
He has learned a great deal in this season – albeit pretty slowly.
He may well win the playoffs – if he does not – it is quite possibly because of flaws in certain players.
I might well be prepared to give the manager another chance – something I could not have agreed to with the previous boss.
