DF took us from 5th (2 points behind Wycombe in 3rd, 1 point off County in 4th with a game in hand and 7 points clear of Lincoln in 8th) to 8th outside the play offs (12 points behind Wycombe in 3rd, 5 points behind County and 3 points behind Lincoln). DF won 2 out of our last 12 games and had a win rate of 16.67% and an average of 1 point per game in 2017-2018. We may have been relegated if he had been in charge with that form all season. Barnet were relegated on 46 points as they had a worse goal difference than Morecambe.
Surely you cannot be giving DF any credit for finishing 8th in 2017-2018. Any credit for finishing in 8th that season needs to be given to Steve Evans and he would point out we were 5th when he left with a great chance of promotion.
Mods: This needs moving to the DF v Evans thread
