Bedminster Born And Red Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Seeing as Cotterill has now been in charge for exactly half our league campaign I thought I would look at the stats:- SOD - Played 18, Points 15 Pemberton - Played 1, Points 0 Cotterill - Played 19 - Points 28 Not quite play off form but not much improvement to be made based on statistics. Based on facts it is surely sort us out at the back and we should be alright next season. In the shorter term, looking at the teams below us, Oldham, Colchester and Stevenage have very tough run-ins and teams are playing one another left, right and centre - they can't both take three points!! We'll be ok this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 It's a decent record and he has done a very good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Surprised to see Coventry below us - their six ponts off us may yet save them - but not hopefully cost us this league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 If we can sign Paterson and keep hold of jet and baldock, we will do very well next season given they will have all had a season to bed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red mist Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not only has the points and position in the league improved, he has also: Given Baldock an alternative position (dimension) to his game made sure we still score goals, agree we still have work to do with our defensive play(still not sure its our back 3 or 4, but the blend in mid field) Used our younger players well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I still don't see how you can judge a Manager's performance, whoever they are, unless they have at least one full season in charge as obviously things even out over a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodViler Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Definitely better record than Gary Barlow's rotting pile of.... On a serious note, hopefully he should fulfil his initial brief and keep us up (lots of positives). I think he has surprised some with his deployment of players and showing he has more than hoofball to his game plan. Three more points against Port Vale to add to his win percentage (and disappoint Blobbie Williams, another rotting pile of take shat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten minutes of rough Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Looks like he is proving to be the signing of the season, but it is no real surprise to those that know his style that he has commanded some discipline in the squad.

Bedminster Born And Red Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I still don't see how you can judge a Manager's performance, whoever they are, unless they have at least one full season in charge as obviously things even out over a season. I think PRE-SEASON is a useful tool upon which to judge Managers. Millen, McInnes and SOD got it spectacularly wrong in the last few seasons and we always seemed to be playing catch up in terms of fitness, recruitment and ultimately results throughout the season. If Cotterill can reverse the trend and get the next Pre-Season right the club might, just might, give itself half a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
