There are some hoping for the halcyon days under him before (we all do btw), but they are forgetting the context how those results were achieved.
We had the massive advantage of parachute money and had the bonus of big profits made from players bought in by the pragmatic Megson, yet with all that we still had a very soft underbelly and couldn't defend well, but we could outscore them.
I don't say any of this for the sake of it, it is because I can see a once solid defence playing much worse and solid individuals like Furlong, Styles and Heggem making uncharacteristic errors as I believe they do not have that discipline anymore.
