I will guess it took us to 7th place late in the season.
For perspective, that season 's League One included Southend, Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Bury, Chesterfield, and Oldham.
Only one of those likely to rejoin the Football League next season, so by comparison we've done OK since that day.
The worst pitch I have ever seen, caused Chris Stokes to miss nearly a season of football
We on about the same player? Stokes was decent
Must have preferred Haynes who could attack a bit more but was a complete liability defensively
Stokes played half fit out of position in the Checkatrade Final and was one of the best players on the pitch - will always have time for him for that alone
Shame. I was on the phone to him the other day, and he had nothing but nice things to say about you.
Maddison, Fortune, Stephens, Murphy, Armstrong, Stokes, RCC, Ricketts (C) for certain.
Fleck and Vincelot? No idea on the other CB
The point of this photo is it represents a good reminder of how far we have come having been kicked into the doldrums for a while, and recognising players who in a few short years have gone on to obscurity or of course stardom as in the case of Maddison and Armstrong. How life and circumstances change so very quickly. Even their socks rolled over the knee....thought that was a recent thing!
I think I've got mixed up with the player who had his embarrassing picture on the front of match programme where he clearly had eaten far too many pies.
He may have left to go to Wimbledon. This is bloody annoying me now.
Chris Hussey !!!!!!!!!!!!. That's the fella ! Not only did I get the wrong player but he was absolutely years before.
I know it’s weird but I enjoyed that season as much as any other we’ve had before or since, strangely as much as the actual promotion seasons.
I think it was the first season in my lifetime we were consistently challenging at the top of a division. Now it’s two a penny - boring!

I thought he was decent too. Years of signing players that didn’t give a toss. Then signed this lad from non-league where he wasn’t getting a game, had no outstanding attributes yet ran his arse off every time be played. Proper fighter and scored a couple important goals if I remember.
