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).
So SM is one win different in a very small sample and there has been some very very close games in there. Is he out of his depth? Probably. But it’s still a very small sample size.

SM still needs to play those sides we beat 5-0 under Luke for a fairer comparison. Luke also had a lot more time to understand the players.

Recruitment has been poor, we didn’t even try and improve the one area that we needed to in the summer. And are suffering for that and will do until we resolve it. That won’t be this season.
