My absolute honest opinion - I don't think Alex Ferguson would have us playing much better. You'd struggle to find a squad in the modern football era which only has one recognised winger.
JFH biggest challenge to date is bringing in competent players in positions we desperately need as early in the window as possible. KT's challenge is spending the premium in getting these players in early and avoid auction type situations.
How about Chris Wilder then, do you not thiink we would have collected significantly more points with this squad under him?
Because if you don't think a manager can affect a teams performance we should cut and run and get Sammo back on a fraction of what JFH must be on.
(We also have Hoskins incidentally to add to Powell. When fit, head down and as an outlet, he's as quick as almost anyone).
