Only £3.50 a month. Judge me after ten games, Roy Hodgson said earlier in the season. Well, it’s a damn sight better than it was after eight games, so he had a point. That said, it’s still only three wins in those ten games. That these wins were at home to West Brom and Blackburn, and away at Bolton, each by a single goal, in itself tells a story. Only one above-average performance in those ten games is another damning fact.
Even more of an issue is that Roy thinks we’ve only played badly in “two or three games”. However, victory at the Reebok did at least end Roy’s personal 442-day record without an away win, and in fairness, he also inherited a team that had a poor away record last season. It gets some breathing space in the league table – although next week’s opponents have more than twice as many points on the board. Of course, matching Chelsea was never realistic. I’ve never said Roy Hodgson is a bad manager. So, Roy’s mark out of 10?
