We were nailed on for relegation when he took over!!We got promoted, which is what he said he would do Do you remember him taking us from the bottom of the league to just outside the playoffs?Do you remember him getting us promoted? Nailed on for relegation? He relegated us for christs sake. He didn't, he inherited a squad that was useless, that played the biggest part. The fact he had a run of a dozen games or so where we pulled away from the bottom was the exception to the norm that season. The first third of the season under Dickov played as much a part in us getting relegated as the last third. Who was responsible for relegation then?A combination of factors, like most things that go wrong in life. In the same breath then, you can't give him credit for promotion last season.

People only remember what they want to mate
Not just him no He took over a struggling side, and only had January to try and improve it.When he took over he improved us quite dramatically, but then we struggled again. Last year he got his own side and got us promoted, this year it's again his side so let's see how we do, can't be judged on 6 games, Just nonsense
Would be interesting to hear from anyone who went today how we played? Was this another good performance and unlucky to not take points, or where we not at races?Ferguson has only won ten games for us at League One level, so he needs to start somehow putting teams to the sword or else we are going to struggle again. One win in six League One games this season is below his overall average win ratio for us in League One (10 wins in 41 games) so not hugely great start this season, but the performances have shown some real positivity in spells.
The sample size for this season is too small though. Stats can and are often skewed in their representation to fit the narrative of whoever is presenting them.We're 6 games into the season, yet people are debating his record as if we're 36 games in. Teams sat in the bottom 6 of a division now may win it, and vice versa. That's football.
