I would give the guy at least a season
Lets not forget our good form the begining of last season was down to Taylor and Hughes being in :censored: hot form. Hughes decides he wants to leave/cant be arsed and Taylor has no one one to supply to and we sink fast. This season Pav has not been available/fit for most of the season but scores when fit and Taylor has barely played and when he has played not been fully fit. Lets see what happens when they both come back fully and hopefully Purdie will come in and be decent.
In regards to transfers, yes some havent turned out well but name a manager that hasnt made :censored: signings, im sure Gannon and Allen have made some shockers
Lets also remember what team Penney inherited (Flemming, Lomax, Rubes, Black, Whitts, Taylor, Lewis A, Smalley, O'Grady) . he needed to get 5 or 6 players before we could string together a reasonable starting 11 and we still could do with a few more players.
In regards to tactics, I love how we have so many experts on here that KNOW everything, we should get a few of you on the bench to tell him what to do during games.
Lets give the guy a chance. You can do :censored: with half a season, half a squad to start with and very little money to spend.
