I agree up to a point. In his defence he had taken over a very unbalanced squad where the senior players had downed tools. He was clearly out of his depth but at least he got most of the players, especially the younger ones, working hard again. Some of his team selections and game tactics were strange (being kind there) but he did finally stumble across one that worked in his last match against West Ham. Allardyce ran with that same team and system for the next 5/6 games. You can't deny that because it's fact.

At the end of the day Unsworth had 4 league games in charge after Koeman left, 3 of them away. His record was 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Given that we had midweek cup games every week plus an International break, he had very little time to work with the squad on the training ground. Ask Sunderand fans what they thought of Allardyce after his first 4/5 weeks with them. Or Palace fans last season for that matter. Don't recall them chanting his name after we beat them 1-0 at their place in January, ironically Koemans last away won with us.

Exactly.He's transformed all of our centre halves in a few weeks when we were all doubting whether any of them could cut it.Obviously needs to be more expansive.At the moment he's got the same players.Already got Rooney playing and signs that Siggy has settled.I think he might get a tune out of some of the others in our present squad.He's done fantastic up to now.

From a distance, the results - overall - have indeed been fantastic.

But the performances have been undistinguished - and dire to watch from the stands.

Sam has benefited from our extraordinary run of good fortune.

It’s like banging your head on a brick wall here. I know he can’t get players until nxt week but if you think sams the man to take us forwards I’m worried.

The truth is nobody knows until it happens one way or another.

One thing that is certain is that people having a go at the bloke after going 7 games unbeaten probably wont help.

Or...we are picking up points even when not playing well.

Imagine what we could do when we do start firing on all cylinders?

(probably 7th place like...)
