If we hadn't had such a good start under Warne, then the MT results last season would have taken us down
just looking at league games MT's record for us is now P 40, 36 points, GD -22
That's what I'm judging him on

That said, I'll say again that I think that defence and midfield is good enough to stay up this season
Given the quality of opposition at the level we are and the respective budgets, also taking into account our injuries, I would say we have done pretty well.

You know what they say about statistics. There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Same as all this Xg and possession nonsense. The brief is to keep us up and keep building. On that basis I would say he has done and is doing, an excellent job.
