It wasn't so long ago people did a prediction thing and if memory serves had us up near the 40 point mark, we'll struggle to reach 30 under JS. The football's been dire, the tactics questionable and the signings apart from Worrall a joke. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since Still weaved his magical wand, and JS's ship as far as I'm concern has long since sailed.The Romford Dagger wrote:You kinda answered your own question here.

It's like there is no one else out there that can do the job but him. Ok he has a record of doing it in the past and fair play to him, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll do it again. Times change and football has moved on since those heady days. This season has been an absolute shambles from day one and Wayne was the main protagonist but since his departure JS has done absolutely nothing in my eyes to suggest he should be given a chance. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and I'll eat my humble pie if I am, but there are plenty of others out there that should at least be considered first before we give JS full control.
So he's a decent shout to do it again rather than someone untested at getting a team promoted from the nitty gritty of the conference.
We went for the proven manager who had Luton promoted less than 3 season ago rather than an unknown quantity. And a manager who knows the club in still as well.
I personally think his appointment was the best option at the time and anyone coming in had a very small chance of keeping the team in the league thanks to the fundamentally fatal losses of Doe, Bingham, Howell and Abs all at once and failing to replace them properly.
