I'd still give him half the season, yes. The problems are with the players not the manager. Weak minded, flimsy defenders and nobody able to finish off chances reliably.
Fire stick has taken pity on me and given me Preston's local commentary instead of the Tessem nonsense show.
Edit; although if he's going to keep calling Preston "PNE" all game long he's gonna do my head in more than any of the others.
