Keegan took 8 games to turn us around after Allardyce without a pre-season to work with the players or any new players to give the squad a lift. I'll give McClaren more time as he is trying to change the way we play, we've seen that already.
He's not getting a blank cheque and neither should he and he can still be judged now but shouldn't be written off. And for him having 99% of the same team that lost 8 games in a row. My maths tells me differently as he could easily be playing 3 out of 11 players who have joined us in the summer and that could go up to 4 out of 11 before we play Man U. If he choses not to pick the new lads then that's his problem and it can hardly be used as a justification for anything, it's his choice.
