Realistically, this season has seen us get our highest ever points total in L1 & get to the playoff semis. On 1st August last year we would all have ripped your arm off for that.
We played brilliantly under Blooms, after the losses in our first 2 games, at least until around mid October & then hit a patch of poor form.
Sadly then we had the Bloomsgate debacle & a slightly odd mid-season transfer window which seemed to hold the whole club back.
For those of you calling for Dodds head, dream on, he is going nowhere for now & will most definitely get the pre-season to instill his style in the team and oversee the inclusion of our summer signings.
Of course I am disappointed at how things have ended & with what happened this year, but console myself with the knowledge this is probably our second most successful season in L1 - ever.
Truth is we arenât good enough for The Champ right now & we have been saved from another Wembley âno showâ
Maybe try this lad up front next season?
Enjoy the summer everyone, as ever itâs been a pleasure both here and the old 2.0.
I wonder in hindsight if we might feel the 7 million offering for Kone was a massive missed opportunity although if Lommy has billions and isnât scared to spend some it doesnât really matter to us atm
Good luck Charlton for the final. Over the two legs they did enough to win it and itâs probably in our best interest that theyâre not in L1 next season. I hope they realise how lucky they are having such exciting forwardsâŚ
But if you didnât cherry pick and actually outlined what had changed in the second half of the season, Iâm really not sure many people would have ripped your arm off.
Blooms was average at best as a player, nobody was coming in for him so donât really see what better options than us he had. He left us first to manage our old rivals Colchester. Came back as manager, was lucky he wasnât sacked, then had a good 6 months and moved for the first better offer he got. Mr Wycombe
But on 1 January weâd have thought it something of a disappointment. Especially as the demise was self-inflicted by Evertonâs ex youth scout and a nepo baby-in-law.
Been an inevitable and disappointing slow motion car crash since the Preston away cup game which was Dodds first in charge. We were 4pts clear of Wrexham at that point with a game in hand scoring for fun. Hopefully one of the Wanderers TV crew will ask him why his defensive system has blown the club off course so much though not expecting much.
Didnât even acknowledge us (from my view when he came to my side of the stand) But I donât take it personally. Heâs young and I think he was pissed off with himself more than anything.
