Bang on mate.

 

Eddie had a team that hadn't won for 14 matches and finished 11th with them. Not once did he mention any of this "don't have the players for my system" BS, it's a cop out.

 

He just got on with it, and implemented a game plan that worked with what he had. 

 

Being able to thankfully sign 3-4 players for modest sums in the first January window he had, which certainly helped, this is 100% on the money. He got to work on the training pitch, assessed what we had and knew immediately what it would take and we went from bottom to 11th in short order. Sensational. Thankfully those in charge at other "bigger" clubs still haven't learned the lesson.
