Plenty of teams have already changed managers this season.....12 to be exact. If its not working, its not working.
I don't subscribe to the theory that he should just get the bulk of the season...because I just don't see any progress. I'd argue that the standard of football and entertainment is less this season than last season. Giving him till spring or whenever, and certainly thinking that KT will give further backing in January is just pure folly.
As for injuries....come on, every team has them. If we have been unlucky with injuries then how much of that is down to the type of player we brought in or the types of training and fitness work we do....again, that points to Curle.
McCormack (who looked quality on Saturday I will add) for example only featured in 19 league games last season, why expect anything different with us another year down the line?
We can hardly cry about injuries when we are bringing that type of player in. What next, cry about bookings and suspensions too, because some of the players are undisciplined, timewasters....again, that all comes back to.....
Yes, there have been 13 league games this season, but add that to the last nine games of last season and we have gained 6 wins in 22, three at home and three away.
8 managers have been sacked so far this season, and most have been teams on the bottom of the table or at least in the relegation zone: Stevenage, Oldham, Huddersfield, Watford, Southend, Barnsley and Reading. Most of these hadn't won a game at the time of their sacking. None were only 2 points off the top half of the table either, as we are at the moment with Curle.
McCormack was actually in Lutons matchday squad for 32 league games last season so he was mostly available. As injuries in general, yes every team has them at some point, and they then often go through a dip in form if they make any important players unavailable for any length of time.
Why just use the last 9 games from last season, when many of the players knew they were on their way out the door and our season was more or less over? Why not use the whole of KC's tenure? That's 69 points from 49 league games by the way. I fancy us to finish on more than 70 points this season myself.
