If we win say another 4 games for the season, that will still be his winning ratio after 4 years at the helm. Will the Board stick with him again in 2020?
If the board look at what we did in our first season under Bolton to decipher if its worth keeping him in 2020, then the board should go.
Its not about where we were. Its about where we are (likely) going.
We took a hit early, we've turned over a full list worth of players in the time Bolton has been at the club. It takes time for that list to work out
1. What is required under Bolton
2. What their teammates can and can't do
3. What is their role within the team.
Now, the first part should come relatively quickly.
The second part is ever changing and will grow more and more the more times they play together.
The third part would be everchanging up to this point given how much the list has been turned over.
eg. Weitering. Defender.....forward(?)....defender....swingman....defender! All that has happened in 4 years. Only now are we starting to see him get settled and belong.
Even an experienced veteran like daisy has been moved to all corners of the ground not only during his time at the club, but during the course of a year, and even during a game. Hard to get settled that way.
The players need to play together.
