Should we just enjoy it before some of these players disappear?
I think it's been a bit of both, good and bad. I have been very encouraged a some of our performances over the season, but horrified at others.
Yes, we aren't in a great position and we have had problems recently (apart from the last few weeks with AT), but for me, it's mostly been a 'what if' type of year. We are currently 12 points off the play-offs, and that has included us going 11 games without a win, and winning 1 in 18. I can't help but think that had we not had long-term injuries to key players like Ben Turner, James McPake and Lee Carsley, we would not have had that terrible slump. Even if we had an average run over those 18 games, say picking up another 9 points, we would be in touching distance of the top 6. Hind-sight is a wonderful thing though isn't it?!
If we keep AT and continue to play the way we have been, taking that form into next season, providing we can keep as many of our top players as possible, I can really see us having a good season next time out.
PUSB!!
Overall disappointing but for those who say we had the wrong manager and are lauding over King, remember that it is unlikely we would have seen him had AB not been in charge.
The key and critical times among that winless run with injuries and suspensions were unfortunate, but papering over the cracks and despite believing AB was unlucky to lose his position, if we'd jumped sooner like other clubs have then who knows what we might have achieved.
Every year I keep thinking "next season could be ours", but I have genuine belief if we can somehow find some investment and keep AT/MK.
exciting would have been the last word I would have used!
Here is hoping for much better next season
Does this season not mirror most of the last few years, look good to start, the fall to oblivion, only rise to save ourselves in the last few games
