I wish him well in his next job, wrong man, wrong club, wrong time.I'm not sure I'd agree about us having much 'workrate'. We often gave up at half time and always seemed to slow down and die off. He's saying it's how he hoped we'd play under TSM, not how we did.He said he thought we played as he'd hoped.Unless he's on about the Swansea game, not last season in general. In which case, I'm a muppet who assumed the wrong context.

I was shocked that he wasn't even in the top 3 players for distance covered in yesterday's game. Bannan covered the most ground 6.76 miles, KEA 6.74 & Lowton 6.18.
I as actually thinking last night that TSM might still have his job at Villa if he had kept Guzan in goal.

I wonder where we'd be now if we'd finished mid-table. TSM would still be manager, and it would be interesting to see who he would've signed. We'd probably struggle to break into the top half, and I could easily see us having a poor second season.
