Passing it out from the back means you keep possession but requires patience (form the crowd as well). Hitting it long gives you just a 50/50 chance of winning the ball (less if you've got someone who's 4ft tall in midfield) and immediately puts you back under pressure. We don't know if we've got anyone in the club who can take a decent corner or free kick because only Bannan is allowed to take them and so we don't score from set pieces. Xisco was a disaster and the crap recruitment policy continued, the difference is we've now recruited a load of foreign cast offs with the exception of one cast off from Preston. No one player is to blame for this (Cameron Dawson) and no one player is the solution (Marvin Johnson) and some of the players who thought they were too good for League 1 clearly can't step up to the Championship (Windass). The recruitment policy for several seasons, and more so after we went down to league 1, has been to buy Championship cast offs and keep them on good wages with the promise of more if we get promoted, so we were always going to have one of the best teams in League 1 that wasn't good enough for the Championship.Ĭonsidering points 1 to 5, Darren Moore and the side that got promoted was always going to struggle with a lack of goals and no real idea of how to play or change it round for different opposition or from one half to the next. Even before DM left if you looked at the Championship table you had to wonder where the points might come from because almost every team in there is better than us.

We were second best to Barnsley at the play off final (but what a result and another great day in our history). The miracle of Hillsborough was an amazing result but the football was again not great to watch (but still one of the best days in our history). Ipswich and Portsmouth played far better football than us and we deserved to finish 3rd.

Whilst we finished on 96 points last season the football most of the time was crap, even when we won games 4-0 (Forest Green) and even when we went on our record unbeaten run, winning a lot of those games just 1-0.
