My point being that "ONLY SAM" saved us. The league(imo) is so poor I think ANY competent manager would have.Weren’t you watching us at the time?? We were playing as poorly as anyone in the league. We’d conceded 25+ goals in 8 games or so. It was horrific. Allardyce has managed to get us results without playing particularly well, but that’s better than playing like turd and having nothing to show for it.
