I have to ask, did you ever expect the jury to be in by this season? He was never going to be a success this season and it would've taken a dreadful run for him to be a failure. The 3 at the back with wing backs suits our defence but we haven't got the attackers that suit Curle's style (as talented as some of them are), I'm certain that his first signing that he would make would be a target man if he gets the chance in the summer. Is he the right manager for next season? Well I'd be amazed if we get someone with a better track record than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, who would you have? you seem to have been on a downer with him since the moment he arrived. he still has the same players that have been largely awful all season and there is absolutely no way Harry Kewell was going to make them into Brazil either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned a while back, I'm sure the summer will rejuvenate me in terms of Latics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place he's really failed was Torquay, and they were a basket case when he was there. I'm still undecided. The thing for me will be who he brings in given the opportunity, particularly at the back. Hopefully he's got a few contacts and decent players who fancy working with him again in his preferred system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has changed IMO- if he wins 5 of his 14 games it’s a steady start considering what he has to work with. Honestly what were/are you expecting? That he would turn the worse defence in the league to the best without any change in personal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, just that we would win more games than we don't and that we wouldn't get a drilling from footballing giants like Cambridge and Morecambe...

His win ratio is usually circa 30-40%. He's not a serial promotion winner say like Kenny Jacket Simon Grayson or Neil Warnock. But its not all that bad either.

New owner, new landlords, new CEO and new players (keep DB though). Like I said, I know it isn't feasible, but I'd be well up for it at the moment...

So you do want him to turn water into wine. . . Cambridge and Morecambe are two of the better sides in the division and both are in the top 7. Heavy defeats to them shouldn’t come as a massive shock when our best defender has spent most of career in non league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's got a few contacts and decent players who fancy working with him again in his preferred system. What Sweeper Keeper said, but also the job he did at Carlisle where he took them from the League Two relegation zone to the playoffs is fairly similar to what he could do with us (albeit with less time). Their budget wasn't great, probably average for this league, but he made them genuine challengers. Strangely because of the way things transpired, I watched Curle's Carlisle team against Exeter 3 times in the space of a fortnight (final day of the season league match and two playoff games). The scores were 3-2 Carlisle, 3-3 and finally 3-2 to Exeter. Exeter had more quality and it just about won out (the scorers in the final game were Ollie Watkins and Jack Stacey) but Curle's team made every game so hard fought because they were so well drilled. Interestingly Nicky Adams was a massive threat throughout and provided a number of assists. He isn't the oracle of all knowledge but he absolutely knows how to build a team at this level. I agree that I wouldn't be disappointed to see many parts of this season not be here come August, but because of his track record Curle is one part that is worth building with.

Play any system you want but if you’re better players are attackers and poor players defenders you get what we have- lots of goals and inconsistent results.
