Since that was at the end of his reign then it shows how badly he managed the squad rebuild.
A better thing to look at in the context of him saving us is the squad he had when he beat Sheff Wed to save us from relegation :
D Stojanovic
A Dijksteel
G Friend
D Fry
P McNair
D Spence
M Tavernier
M Johnson
G Saville
B Assombalonga
A Fletcher
A Pears
P Roberts
N Wood
L Wing
H Coulson
L Nmecha
So, yes, of course he should have done enough to make sure we didn't get relegated, because that squad is way, way too talented to get relegated. It's no biggie for me that he kept us up, the fact he lost every home match with that team was for me concerning. The fact he evolved that team into the one newy posted within a year is shocking.
