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).
Wilder only scraped us out of the conference in the last hour of the final match of the season when he inherited a poor squad. And that was with the benefit of bringing in some of his own players, in a much easier league.
Given time to bring in his squad, he took us halfway up the league, and then up as champions.
