So lets judge Chris on the opposition he's been given in top flight management
Played - 11
Won - 1
Drawn - 3
Lost - 7
Goals for - 11
Goals against - 24
Clean Sheets - 1
That is a possible 6 points out of 33, 6 of those games we were playing 'beatable' opposition, and thats not including Everton at home which at the time I thought was a shoe in.
I wouldn't blame anyone for having doubts after looking at those stats.
I don't recall losing 1-0 at home to Bolton last year.
