Points & position since clough came in.

[highpeakblade]

Just read an article on The Star website which states that had the season started at the point when Clough came into the club we would now be sat in 5th place in the league.

What ever Mr Clough wants to do

Thanks Nigel and all at SUFC

Got the buzz and love back

Great achievement he inherited a team that was destined for relegation, brought in a few players on loan & one permanent! That table also shows we would be 9 points clear of 7th place. He has hardly spent any money to achieve this! If we back Clough next season and with the teams going up and coming down I think we have a great chance of winning the league.

We have only lost 2 games in the last 17 ,so it just goes to show what an indifferent start he had but we still knew then that he was going to be a good un

I've been tracking Clough's progress in terms of comparing results vs equivalent games from last season in the compared with last season thread* He has bettered Wilson's results in the equivalent games (by 1 point).

Basically, had we had a decent manager at the start of the season, we would be certs for the play offs.

Clough's first choice XI is basically a team of players Weir had at his disposal apart from Harris, Brayford and Scougall. How on earth Weir took that team to rock bottom is beyond me. I genuinely think that I had I been manager and just told the players to go out and do their best, I would not have done as badly as Weir.

He is far and away the worst manager we have ever had. He made Micky Adams look like Alex Ferguson.

Bit unfair, Darren. As is all this comparison between Weir and Clough.

People are forgetting that Weir also saw us get dumped out of the Capital One Cup and JPT. Beat that, Cloughie!

 

[mattbianco1]

Tell you what. We'll win the JPT next year. Clough doesn't like losing

Too right anall.
This is the Third Division not the Premier League.
1st place is all we should be looking at next season.

chuck the reserves out n we'll win it. If they're good enough to lick Posh and Rotherham, then we'll sail through the JPT.

Not very often I agree with Darren. Even less of the time one of his posts make me chuckle. This did both.

Weir inherited a top 6 team, had a whole pre season to build and kept hold of most of the bets players, yet turned them into relegation certs. An incredible feat. I didn't think we'd see a worse manager thaan ale house Micky for a while, but Weir beats him hands down. In brining in Marlon King he even managed to top Adams' desperation signing (Marcus Bent) by brining in Marlon King!?
