My biggest worry would be that he (O'Neill) would carry on using the same tactics to achieve the results that we need and with no prolific goal scorers would decline into something very similar to that which we had.

If you put in all the requirements needed to put us right again (to my mind at least) it all keeps coming back to Nigel Pearson, weighing up all the pro's and cons he is the only round peg that fits all the round holes....
