This season has gone, and we won’t make the playoffs which is think would have been acceptable to any fan. But progress has been made. It might not feel I like it, but we will end the season in a far higher position than last season. That is a fact.
It's where we end next season that matters. Having watched Notts for 60 years, any success one year has always followed an improvement during the previous season. It is clutching at straws to say we are higher than last year when it was physically impossible to be lower.

Luke's matches compared with SM (7 points versus 4, which is nearly double) are not a good indicator because for SM it is all his matches with Notts but Luke had some great wins interspersed, including a 5-0 just before he left.

He is clearly out of his depth and people saying otherwise are just being bloody minded or plain stupid (not in your case so I'll go with the former).
