Mid table mediocrity is our bedfellow for this season, and a raft of people can take the blame for that because despite what Reg may say later, we have enough about us as a club to be further up the table.
You should listen to the manager, he talks a lot of sense. This was before the game, he's been saying he isn't thinking of PO's, as given our position lose 2 in a row and we're out of it, therefore he's building for next season. More or less an admission we are where we are because of the poor state of the club. As I've pointed out, we're a broken club at a historic low ebb, that will only be put back together by small incremental steps, and it won't be easy.
Further he pointed out as I said in pre and early season, relying on loan kids in key positions isn't a recipe for success it's too much to ask of them. You need your own players in there of the requisite standard. Again the need for experience like under TT was flagged up for the window... we got more young players and loans. Rose an experienced player, has played one game in a year.
The discussion in the week with Ferret on the Tranny thread, highlighted the poor home form going back 2 and half years, and so there really was nothing we've seen under Wellens, to suggest we've got to grips with that, apart from the get an early goal strategy, which worked v Stevenage and Newport, but can't be relied on for all games. It remains the case.
However on the credit side... the home form over the season is bad enough to put us in the drop mix, but with the couple of wins and some decent away from we've managed to get a mid table perch from whcih we should be able to build from next season without worry.
The small aims like finishing higher than 83/84, at least equalling last year's finish, winning a home game by more than a goal and wining at Whaddo Road are still on.
