I think some of the flak has been completely OTT and disproportionate.
Without doubt, the fact that he’s not JDT (I think some have a shrine in their spare bedroom, complete with life size manikin), and that Waggott (reportedly) recruited him have influenced thinking.
If we’d been hopeless it would be justified, but on the whole he’s steadied the ship and we’ve been competitive in most games.
The one criticism is his win percentage, but even that is on an upward trajectory of late.
People talk about him not having the baggage that JDT did, but he’s had to come in and work with what was already here.
IF he keeps us up, he’s achieved his goal, and then we all wait and see what happens in the Summer.
