The end of last season, when he had majority of Bignot's players, he got a few decent results

He then wiped the team out, replaced with OAP's and now we are in this position.

Finally beating Cheltenham! Except for that, and your points, I got nothing.

It didn’t go well for him so we didn’t have to put up with it for too long - I suppose that can be spun into a positive?

We beat Chesterfield 3-1 first game of the season which got all of our hopes up that we actually had a team capable of challenging.

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner
We beat Chesterfield 3-1 first game of the season which got all of our hopes up that we actually had a team capable of challenging.


The result came as a massive surprise to me after our poor and unbalanced recruitment before the start of the season. It's often described as one of our best performances of the season. I was obviously pleased with the result but when looking further into the statistics for the game there was one that unnerved me and stopped me from becoming any more confident about Slade and the squad. Chesterfield had thirty shots. Thirty. That's one every three minutes and look how Chesterfield have fared over the season. Maybe the thirty shots set the tone for the season rather than the 3-1 result? Add that to our panicky poor additions at the end of the summer transfer window a couple of weeks later and I was really fearful from that point, and still am, right up to where we are today. Even those three consecutive wins didn't fool me. I felt a bit of a mood hoover at the time by saying this squad could quite easily go on a long run of games without winning as it was so fragile. I didn't quite envisage how bad the run was going to be though..

The rot set in in the summer transfer window, could have been rectified in January but was made ten times worse, and now we have a bright young manager starting out with both hands tied behind his back. If MJ pulls this squad around to get the points required, it will be a minor miracle. He might just be the breath of fresh air we need in the next ten games to make up for a disastrous transfer policy led by Slade and signed off by the board..

What went right with Slade? Signing Dembele and establishing the need for proper due diligence for future managerial appointments, and that's about it..

He can make presentations, using IT. Can also use stats to support any obscure point that he is making.   Selective use of evidence when talking about players.  Talks a good talk.

He set up links with the college so maybe that was something good from his tenure and he invested into data analysis and fitness, not that it's done much good.
