Trouble is it was often at both ends of the pitch!
True
However,
If Flynn was backed and had an extra 4-5 proper pros in the squad which he could rotate. And was actually allowed to buy Kemp and Young when they were quite obviously available. I am sure we'd of got playoffs.
I know that's a lot of if's and buts, but I don't blame him at all for that season. The budget and squad size was absolutely pathetic. He got a new deal early on because Clem couldn't believe the miracles he was working in the first 10 games.
