Great article but flawed. Evans has one style of management - avoid defeat and, if you can't avoid defeat, avoid humiliation. This is Rotherham style management and it means we survive in this division even though the team has packed its bags and gone home.
The simple fact is that Evans does not know how to attack. He is not encouraging our front line to make runs or to strike the ball on target. He does not seem to find weakness in the opponents defence and he cannot even find a goal when we are a player up. Worst of all, he doesn't free his front players to create space and opportunity. We know exactly where they will be for the whole game. We lack pace up front, but we also lack the capacity to surprise the opposition. Evans will keep us up this season and, for that, he deserves to manage us for at least the start of next season. But even with some investment, will we see more goals?
