The squad is better equipped for a promotion push now than when he came in. The team, under his management, is not.
Teams are still getting through the defence like a knife through butter, despite the cautious and mind-numbingly dull approach.
My biggest worry with Dougie though is player morale. Ngog's been criticised for his finishing (justifiably) and his confidence has suffered. He scored his first goal of the season at Bournemouth and hasn't started a game since. There aren't many managers that would make some of the calls he makes, for the reason that it doesn't create the mentality you want in a dressing room.
