A Good Solid 6/10.

Would have been 7 but for his decision to replace Dublin with The Doh! yesterday.

Also a little bit wary of his sudden, new found admiration of Hughes. When he first came, it looked as if Hughes first team days were numbered, but, with him being another advocate of 5-4-1 (it will never be 4-3-3 as we don't have the quality in width to pull that one off) it looks as if Hughes has cemented his place in the team-worrying enough, but alongside Robinson, oh dear!

He walks the walk all right (yesterday he said "...were we complacent? We aren't good enough to be complacent...") and says a lot of the sort of stuff I yearned to hear Worthington utter, but he does have a prediliction for criticism in public re.the players, which is a no-no in my book. He needs to talk the talk but requires plenty of time-the earliest I will judge him will be at the end of next season, he certainly shouldn't have, or deserve, any criticism or pressure to deliver until then.
