No - Wrath of the Barclay

No

Pretty damn poor but not the worst.
I think you have to consider lots of factors - quality of players available, previous and subsequent track records etc.
Peter Grant or Bryan Hamilton were truly wretched, both with poor squads. I don’t think either would have done any better with an improved squad!
