And a pre season of getting to know his team mates.

Coming in to a squad mid season is a fairly thankless task for a coach as you are dealing with games (often sat/tue), managing players minutes, injuries which makes it more difficult for a new player to get properly coached with his team mates.
I do wonder if Traore?s header versus Port Vale had gone in, how that might have given him a huge lift and how that might have changed the course of ours and his season.
It was clear to me that SM didn?t fancy Traore. He rarely played despite injury to DM and Jatta being flogged like a donkey. That?s the bit SM is responsible for? the mismanaging of his front line IMO. He was quick enough to rotate his defenders and to some degree his midfield and wing backs.
