Your well evidenced rationale is hard to argue with

However I still maintain his team has at its core a number of highly experienced Premiership footballers who had reached the peak of their game.

Couple that with declining nations they qualified against i.e. Greece and Hungary who have very few players at a similar level.

There are no BIG results for Northern Ireland .. i.e. Germany and such like in the three year tenure. Victory against the Ukraine was a half decent result and maybe Norway however I think you're over egging the results and opposition a little.
