Still was my number one choice and I’m still backing him. But his quote from today about older players reverting to previous systems is the same excuse as Russell Martin’s “scar tissue” claim, which he’s vilified for up in Glasgow and was treated with the same disdain by this fan base. He needs to move away from that excuse sharpish.
I still have lots of faith in him and this team. I think we’ll be really cooking soon. On paper, it’s been a pretty tough run in. Wrexham at home wasn’t a guaranteed banker, we played very well against Ipswich and Watford, and lost to a rejuvenated Stoke (which is the only real blip). Portsmouth are a good side and could be dark horses this season. Hopefully a lot of other fans share this optimism because we really need to back him.
