Exactly, we had a bit about us. We wouldn't have got relegated under ab.
This time last year weren't the cobblers in a relegation fight?
Based on what? He got sacked because our form nosedived (generous term) and we were in serious danger of being sucked into a relegation dog fight, Thorn turned us around and got the job (with hindsight, a disastrous appointment, but he deserved this opportunity).
The 'ugly, horrible, steely' Coventry under AB were sussed out in December, and AB seemed impotent to change it around and rescue the season, hence he got sacked. I'll never forget QPR away, he brings on Platt to change the game, Warnock brings on Hall (CB taller than Platt) which nullified AB and it showed that we had been utterly sussed.
We had a good team under AB.
Under MR we played the best football (well, Nov-Dec) and we were feared more then, than at any point under AB. As for SP, say what you like, but factors out of his hands has severely hampered his plans, the most obvious being the Clarke injury.
I'd like to congratulate AB for the magnificent job he's at Northampton, and I'd like to see them to get promoted (but an away day at Valley Parade would be a good alternative).
