Can anyone honestly say (without the intellectual snobbery of feeling it's 'measured' not to be reactive) that they think SM has it in him to turn this around?

Can anyone name one player who's improved?

One area of the pitch where we look better?

The job is now immeasurably harder than when he arrived despite the slowing momentum. Although it's easy to look committed when things are going well is it all the players' fault for the way they're projecting themselves? The problems aren't just a few sulky players, not that we don't have some - it's maybe not a coincidence that the senior pros are less visible and have gone off the boil as much as anyone.

Yes, recruitment has been dire, but that just means we needed a better, stronger, more experienced character. SM just looks lost.

The bros need to get it done before we write off next season too (at best)
