Sorry, but he has been royally screwed. Whoever manages us has a mammoth task on their hands to keep us up.
The squad isn't totally S**t, but it is lacking so many core fundamental attributes that it is vulnerable as hell.
What core fundamental attributes?
Strength, pace, leadership, balance etc.
We ain't got a target man, or anyone who can hold the ball up or bully opposition defenders. Only Worrall is a real captain in the side. None of the attacking players would be favourite for a ball over the top. Most our players have a good attribute or two (e.g. Carvalho can pass, Grabban can score) but there's no real all-rounders who balance the side out etc.
It's just basic Championship dynamics which managers like Davies, Warnock and Wilder build teams around.
I think Hughton's loans last year showed he was attempting to do that (e.g. Murray bought a genuine cross-to option in the box, Krovi was a way better all round AM than Carvalho etc.)
