I was right behind Jason up until the last few games when it became apparent he was not going to make the grade any time soon. Ross did him no favours blaming the YS crowd then being part of a team who put in the worst 2 performances of the season (much worse than anything we've seen at home) away from YS (Skelmersdale and Gloucester).
Jason must have agreed with this as he also said he was looking forward to getting away from YS, so playing that badly sealed his fate really. That and him seemingly losing the plot at Gloucester with his selection:
playing Jones on the wing were he didn't have the pace to beat a man, when he did get a cross in his height was needed in the middle as Newsh nor SWD could get near any cross. Bringing on Ward for Jones? Why not Sanders who is actually a forward? Smacked of desperation and not having the tactical know-how to win a game. Also again we saw a tactical change from their manager at half time, brought on a sub, pushed high up the pitch and defended from the front. Time and again we lost possession in our own half to players who just wanted it more and in the end a pretty poor Gloucester ran out comfy winners.
It's not just the 1 game, the last 6 coupled with the 4 defeats early doors have done for Jason, I liked him and wanted him to succeed but I think DN has got it spot on, gave him enough time, sacking any earlier would have not have given Jason a fair crack of the whip IMO.
The stas says it all, near on lost as many as we have won which as LPRA has stated is not enough at this level in almost a 2 year stint.
