I wouldn't join any calls for Burchnall to be sacked, but I don't have much confidence in him getting us promoted. He is clearly part of the plan our owners have, but my concern from day one has been that the plan is based on stats and analysis from levels above ours. If we fail in the playoffs, I'd still give him a bit longer in the hope that both owners and head coach will realise that we are lacking something. I just don't know if a couple of 'beasts' fits in with their tippy tappy philosophy.
