It better be before January! On the Andy Dawson subject. Love him to death and all that, but no way should Acun be considering appointing him permanently. There's too much at stake and he simply doesn't have the experience yet, let alone any kind of track record. Putting Scunthorpe to one side he needs now to learn from a very experienced coach/manager who has the experience and track record in order to build his own skill set. Does he have all his badges?
At some point every manager has to be given a chance. Not sure in our precarious position it's the right time. Doesn't need to be championship experience, but probably more experience than a couple of caretaker stints IMO. This could quickly turn into a relegation scrap.
Based off the fact that performances/xG eventually catch up to you (Boro+WBA), I would suggest we are already into a relegation scrap.
Brian Laws Peter Taylor Phil Brown Nigel Pearson Steve Bruce Mark Robins Stuart McCall Grant McCann Shota Arveladze .... and not forgetting ...... Iain Dowie (not a complete list)
That is true to some extent but generally being in the top 4 of the xG column after 46 games you wouldn’t be in the bottom 3 like West Brom and Boro are. Game to game it’s useless really but it generally balances out over a season.
Could be an indicator the keeper had a good game. We are top of the list for xGs against if that is any consolation.
