Plus even if this is a good run, nobody can recognise it as we’ve really been pretty poor, scraped wins with poor performances when you’re already so far behind do so much for you.
We got knocked out of all 3 cup competitions, lag in midtable in the league, we’re largely awful in the EL other than the odd match (seem to be a trait of his team), frankly I couldn’t care less about some pointless run that hasn’t even been impressive to watch in the latter part of the season, in that time we’ve continued to lose important matches.
All I know is it’s the worse season I can remember, even in the 2nd part of the season it’s been awful, the fact he’s been getting so much criticism from everyone tells you it’s not been good.
Most seasons a club will get knocked out of all 3 cup competitions - unless your standard is winning one every year. No club does that.
As for scraping wins - well a win is a win. It used to be seen as a good thing to win when not playing well.
You are right that a run of 22 games is not a full season and it's the full season that ultimately counts.
If we were another couple of years on, then I would be less interested in signs of consistency and form over long periods within a season, but right now I am looking for signs of improvement, not the finished article of a team challenging for titles.
Given where we are as a club, your expectation of a quick fix is unrealistic IMO.
