What happens with a team as a whole is often far more important than a single.

When rafferty played with douglas and james in a THREE and we were ok, no one on here complained about the hamshaw three.

Team situations often are more complex than a player. Unless that happens to be a glaring failure or constant which would happen regardless. That is the only time we can truly be specific.
You have selective memory syndrome, there have been a lot of fans that have pointed out that MH obsession with three at the back even when we didn't have the players to play it was a mistake, guess what they were right.
MH was not a competent football manager, his failings have been magnified by the failings elsewhere in the club. He has gone now and i wish him well in his coaching career, where I am sure he will earn a decent living.
Unfortunately the damage has been done in so many ways over the last few years and we are now suffering the consequences, to stay up we need to win 5 out of 8 games, we are down, we have been down for quite some time. I hope we win a few of the 8 but JR contract is not a huge concern to me, what is a concern is that our new non-exec has stated twice now in interviews that we are not a broken club, I would love him to follow up that statement with some examples of what he sees that we don't.
