I think the opposite, and it's not the fault of MW, though he has some.
The GA debacle has made it tough for him, players, system change etc and he's done well to start and then maintain a promotion push. But my God, this League is utterly tripe. League One isn't the promised land but it's an infinitely better division than this Hellhole. I reckon we could've had a Stockport season, and it'd have been shit. The standard is atrocious.
I've been saying for a while that the standard of League One has gone up massively in recent years. The top half of that league is often almost entirely teams that have been in the Championship in recent years. I think because we've got used to the likes of Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday coming to town, it makes the drop off to this level seem enormous.
I agree this season has been a bit of a slog, but I think that's what the majority of us were expecting when we were relegated to this league. All that matters is that we somehow go up and don't have to endure another season down here.
