Well I guess that's a positive then. Been impressed with the way he's fitted in and performed with them, he has good close control, always knows where the goal is & has a good habit of finding space to shoot.
I'm not really trying to knock Pardew & had a great day out @ Wembely. He set up a good squad with good players that clearly have enough ability to get promoted.
It was very clear at times though when things weren't going our way he often struggled which is something that IMO NA more often than not doesn't. Also 1 of the most important factors in SFC's future success is stability which is something Pardew quite clearly wasn't offering ie not listening to coaching staff pre season and pushing the players too hard resulting in our key striker losing his form for more than 6 months & not being able to see eye to eye with the chairman (and by all accounts the owner towards the end of last season).
