I want Worthington out as much as the next man ...

... but I think it's a bit unfair to devalue Worthington's considerable achievements, as people have done on here - the promotion in 2004 was down to more than just getting Huckerby, he'd built up a good side over three seasons and Hucks was the final piece in the jigsaw.

We haven't always played terrible football under Worthington, although we have this season, and the attitude to the Premiership was overly defeatist - not just from Worthington but throughout the whole club.
