Is JR. a success or not?

It seems anytime you start a thread, people jump to conclusions & think your slaughtering the club. Its great that were all so passionate & folk defending our club i also admire. But this is a forum where we all share our thoughts & opinions. With that in mind, these are my thoughts on the thread:
A manager will be judged on results, whether we see improvement or not in the playing style, some fans will vote with their feet. Attend if winning, stay away if losing. Results wise, JR has been a success. 3rd in the league, 2 semis & a final is fantastic. The downside, is that the 3 cup defeats were very painful. We shouldve been looking to win all 3 games, to lose every one of them was bitterly disappointing.
We started this season well, but a combination of injuries & individual & collective errors have seen us go on a terrible run of form. The bright side is we have a cup final to look forward to. We cant under estimate the achievements in going so deep in these cups so often. 3rd place & cup finals, hopefully winning them, is realistically the best we can achieve.
Every manager will have their own style of play. You wont please everyone. JR sets the team up to be hard to beat. This can come across as quite negative or as some would suggest, boring. I prefer watching a creative style of football. I dont see why we cant be solid & creative. JR always plays cautiously, as is his right. I hope we can pick up results once players like Doidge & Magennis are back 100% fit. Id also like to see Scott Allan given the opportunity to play more often. Hes a joy to watch & a match winner. I always think somethings going to happen when hes on the park. Unfortunately, it looks like JR doesnt fancy him. Again, his prerogative. Hopefully we can pick up and have a good transfer window & push the club on. Summing up, JR a success, but would like to see him be a bit more creative & adventurous.
