I don't know what pressure he is under from those upstairs, but I would have thought it should be pretty simple to run the team. Simplistic checklist I would have thought would be:
1) Great squad of players - tick
2) Last bloke had defence more or less sorted, so no need to mess - tick
3) Put arm round them and tell them they are wonderful - tick
4) Add a bit of width - tick
5) Easy street - tick
I know the defensive situation is horrendous with the injuries, and of course I am neither asking him to go nor saying 3 games of a season shows what we are about, however I certainly expected better - particularly with that start vs the bar codes.
I reckon MP will get us sorted, the players will respond and we will go onwards and upwards but it is fascinating (and fucking nerve wracking) watching the transition. The time for comparison will be after a couple of seasons.
