Is Zola good enough to keep us up?


I reckon Zola lost the battle of the managers last night & Grant stole a point from him/us but Zola & his inexperienced smile and soft words, allowed 2 vital ones to slip by.

There are now very few winnable games left for us to play in order that we get the points on the board which we will so desperately need to survive. Fortunately I think that 36 will be good enough this term due to lack the of quality in the premiership. If we do stay up this year it will be because of the crap below us not because of our ability.
Sixteen games left with a minimum of sixteen points needed to retain our top-flight status can we do it, can Zola do it?
One thing I think is for certain Zola won't be sacked but only because there is no time or sufficient games left for Gollivan to bring someone else in that would do an effective job (keep us up) for us. If there were 21/22 games left he'd be gone, his record is appalling. He was the best we could get under the circumstances but he is a budget manager with no experience and his approach and attitude are far too soft.

Do I think he is good enough? No I dont. If we stay up it will be by luck rather than Zola's judgement
