He might not be the answer but give him the chance to build his side and so give me an option, a guaranteed option, of a manager who will bring us success, given our current situation.

I am not sure I can think of a manager that can guarantee success for us. And that is what some expect, the guarantee.
I?m not expecting any guaranteed success, but I am expecting some cohesion in our play, an identity and a clarity with who is picked to start, formations, substitutions etc. TM hasn?t provided that, we had it with CC.

I think it was a nostalgic appointment but it just hasn?t worked out. Some of the decisions have been baffling, persisting with Wildsmith, playing price up front v Bristol C with 2 strikers on the bench. Dropping of Fellows and at times Johnston. Playing Armstrong upfront on his own with him barely touching the ball, again with 2 target men on the bench. The massive increase of indiscipline that has crept in since CC left. Bringing on Grady and Swift at HT yesterday, two players who are likely running their contract down and won?t be here next season. I could go on and on, but he just hasn?t got the key decisions right.

It?s time to move on in the summer in my view.
