We are are having a poor season.
Paul Cox was sacked after 20 points from first 17 games that season (exactly what Dempster managed this season)
Adam Murray was sacked after 19 points from his first 16 games that season. (Dempster has got 20 points after 16 so marginally better)
Don't forget Steve Evans came in after Murray was sacked and he only managed 12th
I know this is a fact you like to push Gazza, and I'm no Evans fan, but he managed 44pts from 29 games. Across a whole season that would've been 70pts, enough to sneak us in to 7th possibly depending on goal difference.
It is, but only in relation to people claiming Flitcroft failed with Evans squad.
In this instance though it was to show that even experienced managers come in after such a start and despite the good form, as you have shown, still managed 12th on bare minimum play off form over a whole season. We need to pretty much get 2 points per game for the rest of the season to get anywhere near the play offs.
Season over if JD is here.
