Just had a quick look. 48 games played in the league so a good barometer of where we are.

He's won 9 games out of 24 at home, 8 draws and 7 losses. Average points return of 1.45.

Away from home won 7 out of 24, 6 draws and 11 losses. Average points return of 1.125.

Our home form over that period is around 18th, away roughly 16th.

Is it good enough? Not just talking about this season but with the quality he has in that team, is it enough?
 
The squad is better than a 15th placed position.

It's the home form statistic that stands out, most teams must now have us sussed when the visit; they know that we will have wide men far up the pitch, they know that we have limited pace at the back, they know that we have players out of position. So sit back, soak it up, wait for the misplaced pass high up pitch and then unleash the counter.

Therefore no, not enough, on multiple fronts.
 
Nowhere near good enough.

He’s made a rod for his own back.

He’s not up to it.

He’s a very silly man unfortunately.

He's actually made the squad not look good enough to finish even 15th the way he expects them to play.
 
That's the first time I've looked at his stats.
Truthfully, I think he's had a better overall squad, than cooper had, once you take a few players out the equation.

Those stats are depressing and a long way from being safe mid table to play off area.

When you consider that he had Joel Piroe (24 goals in his first season), Obafemi (13 or so in the second half of the season) Paterson (8 and same in assists), a midfielder which he believes is one of the best in the league along with the ability to sign two Premier League defenders on loan and a number of other signings then it isn't good enough.

He wanted Fisher, he got Fisher. He wanted Darling, he's got Darling. Okay there.might be others he couldn't have but he's been reasonably well backed
