The criticism last season wasn't justified because it missed the point. When he was appointed manager we had taken just 5 points from the previous 11 games which was a rate of point accretion which if maintained would have seen us relegated. However because of our good start to the season we did have 33 points from 29 games. It was perfectly reasonable to come in with the attitude that if he got us organised and difficult to beat so that we would then be getting 1 point a game in the remainder of the season we would probably avoid relegation. So that is what he did - in fact did 3 points better than a point a game. There was no good fortune involved.
