No, sadly he was maybe kept too long.
We (and JP) have learnt our lesson from Mowbray who again was kept too long (I was at the time angry he was sacked but now I know how wrong I was).
We should have changed manager before the transfer window, especially if someone like Hodgson was available. Just hope he is able to do enough to keep us up and then we'll see what he can do over a summer.
I genuinely think we have our first real manager for some time and he will instill a long needed set of discipline and rigour into the players - he has already started with the defence, which it seems the last few managers had little time for!
