Some of the football played up to Xmas was the best we have seen since the premier league days. It all went wrong second half season but sublime for a few months.

Walsall were a cracking side that season. Dean Smith then moved on to Brentford and they subsequently sold Bradshaw, Sawyers and Henry.

Bradshaw was class, would have loved him here! Is he still at Barnsley?

Christ that 1 win in 10 after the 6-0 will at bury was a disaster

Well, it was P16, W2, D4, L10. 10 points from a possible 48 between 12th Jan and 9th April. That Bury game should have been the catalyst to sorting our shit out though and holding on to a play off spot. We were still 6th with the best goal difference in the league and a game in hand on our rivals at that point.
But the reality is things started going wrong in November already: P22, W3, D8, L11 20 points from a possible 66 from the Bradford 0-0 onwards, where Armstrong hit the post when he probably should have scored. That was relegation form for almost half the matches in the season - Donny and Blackpool relegated on a 'point per game' 46 points that year.

A game I remember that season was against Barnsley. We were cruising something like 4-1, with Joe Cole scoring a quality free kick. We then imploded a little and were lucky to hang onto a 4-3 win. I'm pretty sure at this point Barnsley were in the relegation zone, but still ended up getting promoted through the playoffs. I dread to think what point advantage we had on them at this time.
Another big turning point was playing home games against Walsall & Burton in the same week. We took the lead against Walsall and should have won, but conceded a late equaliser and were then lucky to hang on to a draw. Our momentum was lost and the Burton game followed suit, and we lost. 'If' we had held on against Walsall it might have lifted the team to beat Burton, who knows!

This is not a good thread to have after the great start we’ve made.

Er I think it’s you who said Waggott was responsible for signing players - oddly if that was the case the slump occurred when he no longer was responsible for signing players
