interesting comparisons.
both took over at similar time of year. both cleaned out old deadwood straight away.
in clarksons first year the hawks finished with 5 wins and a percentage of 82
in dimmas first year we finshed with 6 wins and a percentage of 73
in clarksons second year the hawks won four of their first five.
they then suffered 6 losses, including margins of 7, 12,11, and 15 goals.
they broke their loosing streak against...guess who
before embarking on another 6 game losing streak including a 12 and a 9 goal loss, before winning the last four games.
two years later they were drinking champagne from a premiership cup
in hardwicks second year we won our first game in round 5 leaving us one win and one draw, starting a run of 4 wins in five games. we lost a couple of close ones before beating a fellow struggler.
since then we have embarked on a 4 game loosing streak, including losses of 7 and 17 goals.
Naturally none of this means we will follow exactly the same path, but don't slash your wrists yet people.
