Real difficult task for him in many ways as confidence is low, the squad is clearly unbalanced and with our position, there isn't any hope or motivation left in the squad by the looks of things. I'd also say that being part of a relatively small coaching staff under the Parted tenure, the players may even have tuned out of listening to Big Dave even.
On the other hand, he probably can't do much worse and could get some easy wins (moral victories with the fans, not actual football matches) by giving the youth a chance and playing a side with more balance than the back 5 and 2 holding midfielders we saw on Saturday.
