Yeah 2 months. Ignore we went 17 games unbeaten, or lost once in our first 24 games. Sat in autos for most of the season. Receiving plaudits from opponents for our attractive style etc etc.
Which 2 months was the purple patch? Lost 1 league game in the first 24 games. Surely that's the sign of a good manager if they only play well for 2 months but end up in the top 4 throughout the season. The quality dwindled once injuries set in, White, Olejnik, Rose. Also when Derby played silly buggers with Timi Elsnik.
Ignore that Pearce said in an interview that Evans abandoning ship destroyed morale. Its Flitcroft fault even though in the last 12 games most of the sides were in the hunt for the play offs. 2 transfer windows high earners of no use, who refused to move on (their right but Evans gave those deals out). High earners on the physio table.
That's failure. So Clough failed last season (Bolton proved when he took over promotion was possible and were in a similar position to us). What do we do if he fails this season?
So if Clough doesn't get us promoted this season, Bobby and Dan should want him goine for twice failing, unless they are hypocrites.[/quote]
Living in a dream world mate, even if we finished mid table with Clough I wouldn't want him gone. I'm one for a bit of patience and giving him the time to build something over more than two transfer windows[/quote]
Not exactly, his ppg across those 12 games would have been good enough for 21st position in that league season. Evans ppg would've had us in 4th.[/quote]
Whooooooosh
