Darren Moore is a great guy and certainly did well to get the club and fans pulling in the right direction. But there were plenty of fans calling for his head during last season as well. We called his style of play Darrenball, its not exciting, its functional and allows you to win games 1-0 but it has no plan B if plan A isn't working and on too many occasions we saw teams suss us out a bit and we struggled. We got away with this in League 1 as we have better players than most teams but now we are seeing the fruits of that style in this seasons team (along with a manager who likes round pegs and square holes) and we are really struggling.
Reality is we picked up 96 points and got promoted but its was to a degree despite DM. Really like the guy though and wish him well but I do think our squad this season would have been at best marginally better with him in charge and that would only have been because of continuity, which went out the window when him and our crazy owner couldn't agree terms on a new contract.
