A Rapid Rise Would Not Surprise.

Impossible not to be sceptical....

BB has really shown very little in terms of getting hi skill set (teaching mantra) stuff to convert into wins....

Looking back now - how did we win 7 and 6 games in 2016-17?

It looks like an over-achievement if anything.

I think Bolton can coach but just as important I think he's the right type of coach for the young guys on our list - very keen to make them good people as well as good players. A great sign is we haven't had any Griggs just yet. That pr!ck walked out on us when he was 21? Not that he was a great player but you invest a high draft pick on a bloke, do all the hard work to develop him, put up with his injuries and then he walks for no return.

Last year everything fell apart but that may be the artificially poor performance that helps us out for many years to come as it looks like it's coincided with a pretty handy draft to get the #1 pick. Walsh looks like a franchise player. Sometimes you can just get lucky - even if it's something as sh#tty as the year you win the wooden spoon.
