This division definitely separates men from boys .
I think we approached the season with the right intentions, to keep playing our way and carry on with the identity...but ultimately we found out rather quickly that the division, along with our players was proving to be a bit better than we invisaged .
Robins and viveash had a long period where they struggled to adapt to find out what's the best way to get results , tinkering with various formations and we did in many games try and nick wins , often succumbing to individual errors which I think was a huge problem this season .
We didn't take our chances either , which at this level is vitally important as we found out , we made it harder than it had to be, injuries played a huge role in our inconsistencies at times and we struggled to get to grips with the demand of game after game .
We rarely looked really poor , a handful of games where we were truly outclassed but we gave a good account of ourselves so many times and sometimes came away with nothing.
I think ultimately though Robins and viveash found a way when it mattered , we never truly were in relegation battle only really the one week which proved to be a vital week .
Mistakes were made , manager and players alike but Overall though lessons learned I think .
To be 12 points clear of safety in our return season can only go down as a job well done .
Can't wait till next year.
I hope we can push on and be comfortable mid table at the very least
Thoughts on the season ?
I still cant get over the fact 44 would have been safe. Surely a record low?
But there is no asset to buy-only a name in a higher league. Not sure anyone would buy a football club due to a favourable rental deal based on 7 years.All things considered you would have to say what a remarkable job Robin's has done. Now we must build our presence in this league with an eye to the premier league. Quite how that can happen under SISU's watch is very unlikely. I think SISU will have another season consolidating and back at the Ricoh with a much better deal than ever before, and they will look to sell.
Both Derby and Rotherham can still get 46 points, can't they?I still cant get over the fact 44 would have been safe. Surely a record low?
I will be disappointed if we are not top half next season
Dangerous to set expectations, but it looks like an extra 10 points would be needed to get into the top half, so we'd need to do what we did this season but turn 5 draws into wins. Not unreasonable.Considering our injury list for the first half of the season especially the fact we have only been in the bottom three once for about a week is amazing. All clubs will have their bad luck and if only stories but we all know we have gifted about a dozen points away and counting yesterday have hit the woodwork 26 times. I am certain this squad will be tweaked and improve and I will be disappointed if we are not top half next season.
I'm hoping now being established Lol (1yr) possibly we get a different mindset from ref's when it comes to pen decisions .Dangerous to set expectations, but it looks like an extra 10 points would be needed to get into the top half, so we'd need to do what we did this season but turn 5 draws into wins. Not unreasonable.
Top half is being very optimistic. As Boddy said in the week it “baby steps” and if we finish 1 or 2 places higher next season then that will be progress. Anything else is a real bonus.
Dah I left it alone to start with but maybe a butcher's coat or bib &brace Lol.I think we've managed very well without overalls and we don't need any moving forward.
Brill from start to finish
Competed in 99% of games. First half of season played easy on eye footy. Players gave their all and did us proud.
At different moments different players shined be it hamer o hare walker or mcallum.
And even fringe players made contributions to our pts tally in Wilson and Biamou
Just so much to be proud of as a fan. Imagine posting negativity all season long looool
