Ok, so hindsight and all that, but when Marti was sacked in January we weren't doing great, but I'd argue we weren't in too much danger of relegation.
Our last 6 games under him were W2 D1 L3. You'd bite someone's hand off if they offered you that right now. At that point we had 38 pts.
Since the we have amassed a further 9pts (minus 6 deduction) in 15 games. At the rate above, we would have acquired 17, been in 20th position, fate in our own hands and better form.
Start of the season everyone berated our inconsistency. Well, we're consistent now.
Anyway, like I say, hindsight and all that.
