The morning after the night before
Ok, I understand that most of the posters on here are anti-gunn. I appreciate that this is not the appointment the majority wanted and accept that his lack of managerial experience is a worry.
However, in the big mans defence:
-Under any other circumstances would you say 19 games is enough so assess a managers ability to do the job, especially coming into a struggling team with rock bottom morale mid season?
-Despite this I would say Gunns signings were pretty good considering he only had 9 days to work with. He addressed the target man issue and brought in Alan Lee, re-signed Jason Shackell who was immense, Mooney chipped in with some goals, Gow would have been influential if he could be arsed and in Cody he has brought in the type of player we all want to see; young and hungry.
-We went on a good run; good away points and Wolves, Brum and Donny, a win at QPR and some good home wins aswell. Gunn was nomintaed for MOM in March as deservedly so.
-Then came the international break. We lost both Hooly and Croft, and our momentum. 5 defeats out of 6 ultimately cost us. But all teams and all managers go through bad spells, look at Reading as an example - even with their squad. Unfortunately, the position we were in didn't afford us the luxury of such a bad run and it cost us dear.
The point of this article is not to say Bryan Gunn is a football genius. But give him and his coaching team time to build his own team and have a full season in charge and then judge him then. After all there are no guarentees an 'experience' manager would do any better.
The fact is Gunn is our manager next season and we must back him and the team now.
OTBC.
