"Well that was shit, I think we may as well give up" I think he certainly realised the precarious nature of confidence when a team of such young kids gets so many beatings week in, week out. He got that spot on and managed their confidence very well.

Lowton at Stoke. However, and i'm probably alone in this, i'd also go for the 15-0 week. We stuck with the same players, we stuck to doing the same things and that can only have helped the players later in the season. To go through a week like that and still be believed in by the manager must mean a lot. And also us, we've been fantastic this season at matches. I'd like to think that's helped them as well.
Good to hear and also Westy seems to have great character as well.
