He seems to know what he's aiming for and understands the limitations of what he's working with. But clean sheets and building from the back has often been the route to success especially once the confidence to play football in the right areas arrives.
How long since we've had a defence? - can still remember "I'll buy a whole new back four if necessary".
The big difference with some previous seasons is it seems we are unlucky this time just to win 1-0, whereas in some previous seasons we've been lucky to win 1-0.
Still early days, and caution is sensible Derry was 4th after 16 games with 29 points, 30 games to be safe at it needed 21 points and relegation was avoided by skin of teeth.
Hopefully it is still the start of an upward journey and the cheque book can come out over Xmas. COYP.

Agree. Usually we can use the term 'clean sheets' less often than a Hyson Green whore, but for me that's the most encouraging part of the recent run. My big worry was that we always looked more likely to concede than score, I hope I have to eat humble pie for a lot longer.
