I like many many others feel like the checkatrade run was a huge reason why we never went up

Played two games with something close to a full strength first eleven and there was only something like one game postponed.

It was a bollocks reason then and a bollocks reason now. for much of it we were playing fringe players keeping them fit and kids, with also the odd player coming back from injuries. all in all it was a good cup run, not season defining.

Aiden McGeady getting injured after relying on him so much in the second half of the season was the defining moment and our form fell away with his injury even though he kept trying to play. without him our form and goalscoring prowess was largely dogshit.

Obviously there was other reasons why we ended up relying on him so much, but if you're looking for season defining things, that was pretty much as close as you will get.

Makes no sense to me as Dickman actually says further down that centre mid is probably his position, he then goes on to say that being versatile isn't a bad thing but there's a worry that won't master one role. I think he should just keep the lad in his natural position and make him better there instead of moving him about. He'll probably get sick and leave if it continues.

How many class players has our academy produced over the last few years?

Think Grigg is a bit embarrassed that he's scored as it's been so long.

Pleased for him though.

Looked like a man that’s just felt a massive sense of relief. Hopefully that’s the boost he needed. Us getting behind him will help like haway Griggs on fire
