A thread on us, separate to their match thread. Makes you realise how much we've improved

Absolutely. The table obviously reflects the order of points but not the order of everything, dirty play for example. There are not 11 better teams than us in this league. I think we should really be in the play offs or at worst have missed out by one or two places.

Unfortunately you get more points for being efficient. We’ve got to get more ruthless in the summer

Up to 3 if it's a complete tear which when you go off on a stretcher is certainly more likely than something minor.
Definitely something for the medical department to look into as to why he keeps breaking down. Hamstring injuries are certainly more common after hip complications (like he had in summer) ideally he would have a full pre-season like you say to build him up properly but let's hope for the best for the lad.

Needs to be managed very carefully. He's now looking at having 3 injuries that are 3 months plus in 11 months!
He's also 22 now and needs to prove himself

More points collected against the top 2 (7) than the bottom 2 (5). Tale of a season

Or we need to become an exceptional footballing side. Difficult with a bottom half budget.

It’s amazing really we only finished 9 points ahead of last season with how good we’ve looked at times

We look good outside of either box

Simply put we don't have enough players of the required quality to stay the course in a league as demanding as this. I do think just a few such additions in January would have made things very interesting indeed. We've missed out by 11 points which when you consider how many 'I can't believe we haven't won that' matches there's been does make you wonder.
It's a big if but if we keep the core of the squad intact and add extra quality where it's needed then I'd back us to make a challenge.

Good organisation from Stoke outside the ground yesterday; coaches outside the exits; buses laid on the station and plenty of police around on the walk back to the car. Thankfully no sign of any trouble.
Yeah it was very well organised. Those shuttle buses back to the station were great and the way they stopped all the traffic and gave a police escort was brilliant. We need to sort this sort of thing for next season.

Agreed. Though it did take quite awhile for it all to clear and there were still a fair few waiting for shuttle buses to the station when our coach left at just gone 3.
Also seen a young lad bleeding from a cut to his nose outside and there were a couple of police talking to him so not sure what happened there but luckily it didn't look too serious.
