Our season petered out didn’t it. The FA Cup semi final had a negative impact on our league but we’d have struggled anyway. Conceding too many goals, small squad etc
Its been one of the top 5 best seasons the club has ever had. There is no need to be dejected, this season has been beyond our wildest dreams and really sets us up for the next few years. We now are genuinely a big club that can expect to get into the PL. That was by no means certain after the Luton match at Wembley.So at the start of the season I predicted we'd miss out on the playoffs due to the size of the rebuild and to be honest a run in the cup hadn't even crossed my mind for a minute. After a week where we nearly got to a cup final and had multiple bites at the playoff cherry I'm feeling pretty dejected about the whole thing. Even though we are exactly where I expected to be in the table and the bonus of a cup run. So there it is, hope is bad for you!
Cast your mind back over the last 10 years. This is heaven.So at the start of the season I predicted we'd miss out on the playoffs due to the size of the rebuild and to be honest a run in the cup hadn't even crossed my mind for a minute. After a week where we nearly got to a cup final and had multiple bites at the playoff cherry I'm feeling pretty dejected about the whole thing.

But apart from that..........Been a great season. We’ve unearthed two 20 goal a season strikers, rebuilt the defence, got next seasons recruitment underway. We’re paying fees for people - a pipe dream for many recent years. Then add in the squad stability going into next year and that’s without talking about the cup or the play off tilt.
Never thought about it like that, but not a bad viewpoint. The last few seasons have been a joy in terms of positive experiences/memories - don't think any short-term, medium-term or long standing supporters would disagree.The question I always ask is, did I get my moneys worth.
The answer has been a resounding yes for quite some time now, and I don't see next season being any different
Can I just remind you of the title of this thread.As others have said
Last season I was dejected after Wembley because we knew Vik was going, Gus probably too, plus all the loanees and we had been fortunate to even make the playoffs at all. There was no guarantee we would even get close to that this year (and for a decent time it looked pretty dire - we were 20th in November!).
I'm excited for next season already.
Exactly - it's like some kind of protracted comedown.I feel most down about last Sunday, much more so than even the play off final. I think it's just that elation from celebrating the Torp goal to it being disallowed, it's literally experiencing what might have been momentarily but to have it taken away.
It's been brilliant being a Cov fan for quite a while now and unless you're seeking instant gratification what's to complain about?
Every season the squad improves. The attendances are going up. The atmosphere created at lots of games has been second to none.
Enjoy.
