true but historically, have cov teams have hardly been inspired to herculean feats at the ricoh! To my mind a manager can only be judged on:
1) results
got more then recent cov managers!
2) signings
only had chance to get kids & cheap ones in!
3) fitness (via training regimes)
how many late results we achieved?
4) tactics
lovely passing football, not hoof ball as micky adams tried!
5) formations
that match team capabilities!
6) substitutions
super subs galore, marshall etc
7) team morale
very positive!
Ultimately all of these traits are measurable, and none really affected by a points deduction! Finances maybe - points deduction no way! As others have said, the points deduction could have a +ve effect in that it allowed the team to achieve a blitz never say die attitude. And lc scoring for fun could have brought in complacency - we just will never know for sure!
Any manager should stand or fall on the first 6 points, and the 7th is a result of those 6 points. Is pressley the best possible manager available? Clearly not, as his replacement at falkirk is doing better with the same resources!
But you said that he should be given 3 years! You also point to Boothroyd having a glory season. To me either you back/ sack a manager based on current performance or you don't. His current form is 2 wins out of 10 - 3 wins in 2014.
Why is Pressley getting such a free ride? I just don't get it.
Which is why we should have stayed where we were.
"They"?
Must say, I thought it was better than this....

one more defeat and we can call him average ?
Only if he draws another 5 after that.
I'd take that !

Just listened to his interview after the game and the fact he's ripped into the loan players says a lot, he said he was dead against signing loan players at the start of the season and you can see why, they're not bothered what happens while they're here,they all go back to their own clubs at the end of the season, sounds like loans will be his only option next season, he won't hang around if that's the case. You can see he's getting frustrated, can't blame him, sounds too familiar again ?

If our form for our last 13 games had gone for the whole season to this point we'd be bottom of the table 16 points below Notts County, but it would be fine, we'd have a game in hand.
Difference is that Robbins had us playing great football and it was just a matter of time before another came in for him. But our form since Xmas has been miserable and we practically have the worse defensive record in the league.
Nope. No chance.

Lucky for us then that didn't happen.

I wouldn't say we played 'great' football under robins. Quite often McGoldrick saved our bacon, we struggled at home, had a leaky defence but were much better away from the Ricoh where we could hit teams on the break.

Last seasons defence looks rock solid compared to the crap we've had this season
