Half a season is a bit of an exaggeration. As soon as Burgess replaced Downing he started to play well, and won many over with his 'raggettino' performanes. The Burgess / Raggett partnership was in place before the end of September, the only people slagging him off after that were those who make their minds up early and never change them despite the evidence of their own eyes.
