I'd give him a B for the league season. Had we finished third it would have been a very good season. To have finished below a Hibs side with a rookie manager in place, and a newly promoted Dundee United, that's disappointing. But I do give Thelin leeway because it's his first season and no-one on here was saying he'd sort us out in one season. The proof will be who makes the most improvement out of those three teams next season (and Hearts).
Pros:
* You can see the game plan as opposed to wondering what Robson's long ball football was trying to achieve.
* Has improved a few players. Clarkson mainly, Morris too. I would add Mackenzie to that although he did drop off. Moving Nisbet to 10 got him going when others would have given up on him.
* Perhaps to his detriment, wants to attack, even against the Old Firm. The game at Parkhead (5-1) was one of those games where we took the game to them, created chances, but our marshmallow defence melted.
Cons
* None. Just a bit unlucky.
* Okay, if you want to attack, sort your defence out. Even when we're ahead we always look vulnerable.
* Indecision over a few positions. Keskinen looks better on the left but often been played on the right to accommodate other players. Same situation with Jensen.
* There are clearly quite a few deficiencies with the team, but let's see how much he can fix in summer and see how we look next season.
I don't buy the "if we start next season poorly he's under pressure" stuff. I think the club are backing him, even if we finish fifth next season again. Only a terrible season would make Cormack wobble.
