And he's had a bad run with injuries this year.
It's a reason he's been cut a little bit of slack.

Now I also know the WB sacked McCarthy and won a flag under Beveridge, but I'll guess and say Macca did all the hard work and the oxygen thief Bevo came along and reaped the rewards. I'll also guess we have sacked more coaches than anyone and its got us to where we are now. I'm happy to do something different for a change.

What has Bolton shown us so far?
What can he show us?
As I see it he's been given a very good young group to work with... when do we see signs that he can use his magic to turn that group into a winning combination?
Until we see that I have to remain sceptical.
Happy to give him a chance... but sceptical.
