I have great respect for the work our manager is putting in, and to be 11 pts clear of the relegation zone at this stage is a fair achievement given our budget. It's also good to see how highly regarded he is by the players. It must be a great confidence boost for the players that he wants to play a settled side, and not bring in loanees all of the time. I'd like to see him continue in his role.
However, I am worried about JM's ruthless streak - does he have one? Hudson has been making costly mistakes for a good few months now for example. He can play well, but he needs to get stronger physically. Whilst not having vassell is a blow, I'd much rather have killock as a right back and keep Sam Hughes in at centre back. The stats speak for themselves, and yet the same mistakes keep on happening. We can't go on conceding goals from long balls into the box, as we'll need to score at least 3 goals a game just to get draws at this rate.
The best managers are ruthless ones when needed. It's always difficult when an assistant becomes a manager of the same team because they usually have a closer relationship with the players. Is his perceived loyalty holding him back?
