Highlights for me:
Cox's goals - all of them thus keeping us up
Getting Greer on loan
Leicester and Posh away
Rovers at home
New Sponsor
Appointment of Danny Wilson
Morrison into the first team
Disappointments:
Like most - the time it took to get rid of Malpas
No cup runs whatsoever
Lack of defensive ability
The amount of late goals conceeded

It seems like a lifetime ago that we last had a decent cup run, it was under McMahon wasnt it?

Paatelainen got the equaliser and that cunt McGinlay got the winner with 4 minutes to go if i remember rightly.

5th Round of the FA Cup in 95-96 wasn't bad for a League One outfit.
More a jog than a run I grant you.

I might keep it slightly obscure and pretend I'm Mark Robinson, I'll tell him that I'm still angry about him getting me sent off for smacking him one....I'll mention that I'm visiting Cincinnati this summer and I've got scored to settle and he's got to name the car park to meet. Sorry, make that 'parking lot' to meet. |

Staying up is the highlight. We absolutely got away with taking 6 weeks to appoint a manager.
Oh and Cox's goal v Walsall was good as well. Really enjoyed that one.

I think Southend home was one of the highlights of the season, the first half anyway. It showed what we're capable of and how good the football can be under Wilson. Barnsley fans didnt sing 'its just like watching Brazil' for nothing under his reign.
I think Brighton and Hartlepool at home were the lows, closely followed by either of the Cheltenham games.
With a decent pre-season and some good acquistions I think we'd be on for a good season next year. I think Wilson already has targets and will move quickly.

A lot of what I'm reading seems to be quite similar to what I read at the end of last season - here's hoping Wilson gets it right.

A point I was making on Friday night in then pub...at the end of last season there were a number of positives going into the new season....quite probably more than this time given the likely departure of Cox. |

My optimism last season was not high at all, I didnt have any confidence in the manager, I think I mentioned it at the time that I didnt think Malpas had any managerial nous and didnt have the contacts to bring in any quality players.
This mainly came from chatting to my Dumfries based Motherwell supporting mate, it took him months to stop gut laughing at Malpas' Swindon appointment.
With the likes of Casal, Nalis being bought in alarm bells were ringing. I got the distinct impression that Malpas watched some of the pre-season games rather differently to me, cos I never saw anything in Casal or Nalis that made me think they were going to do a decent job - which turned the alarm bells into a full blooded air raid siren.
I feel Wilson will do a lot better, hence my renewed optimism!
