Barring a miracle (which didn't happen) this season was screwed after 10 games.
Austin was a liability, certain players were also culpable but either way, my only hope and expectation for Curlio was to steer us to mid table and I believe he will.
Beyond that, he has to be given a close season to try and sort things out. He is as capable as anyone we can hope to get so lets give him the chance
He's contracted till the end of next season so that's the basics of the situation.
Was absolutely the right man for the job to keep us up but beyond that, not a great deal to suggest he is a longer term prospect for us (yet). His go-to formation, 3-5-2, was annihilated by Colchester in every way. His response has been to fill the side with the most reliable, sturdy players. It's pretty basic stuff.
One option might have been to give him a contract till the end of the season and then re-assess but he had the nap hand when we were in big trouble.
Think there has been only 1 back to back victory in Curle's time here and that included a dire Macclesfield side. Show some cohesive, expansive football, some tactical fluidity and a couple of back to back wins and then he'll be a contender. Just giving a manager the summer and hoping will likely end up with us back to square one as it has done for as long as I can remember.
