I don't think GH has done a brilliant job, but given the circumstances, things could have been a lot worse.

True. 

I think overall hes done okayish considering the mitigating circumstances.

Positives in the young players being given a chance and the more appealing style of football at home.

Negatives in the poor away form, too many digs at players in public and the Liverpool saga.

I think he's done a pretty poor job -even allowing for injuries- but don't think that changing jockey so soon after the other one bailed would look good.

Hopefully we can secure mid table respectability this season. If he does better than that I'd like to see him given the chance to push on again next year. If he does worse, hopefully he'll be man enough to fall on his own sword.

Mid-table respectability? Fuck that. The league is tighter than a nun's chuff this year. If we failed to get top six and Bolton or Sunderland did I'd be disappointed. Still, 8th or 12th is all the one as long as we win the FA Cup.
