....at Peterborough to cement mid table safety with "aint no fuss" opening, and Phil Gray bagging a double.

Buxton had taken over from Butcher with Safc in a perilous position even back in November 93 and his decision to play Bally as a midfielder proved to be an inspired decision (one of the few unfortunately).
Results started to come and by March safety was all but assured barring a disastrous run in.

The following season, with Safc in relegation trouble, Buxton was sacked in April 95 and in came........Peter Reid.

Sure it was the 4th win a row after 3 homes wins
 
One of mine and a couple of the lads favourite away games :lol:. I remember getting back on the bus after and working out we had gone up to the heady heights of 12th. The faint glimmer of hope of the play-offs led to us scraping the money together to go to Barnsley a few days later...we got beat 4-0 :lol:
 
There was a tubby teenager to the left of us who took his coat off soon after kick-off to reveal a mag shirt. We promptly took the lead and stewards then came over and led him away to strains of "Get your tits out for the lads."

There was a canny bit of discretion used by the ref too. Phil Gray had already been yellow carded when he ran over to celebrate in our end when he made it 3-1. The ref clearly went to reach for his book and yellow card, running towards him. It was obvious that the ref then realised it would've then meant Gray being sent off for something as harmless as celebrating and quickly put his card and notepad back into his pocket.

Micky f***ing Buxton. Imagine captain fantastic Brian Robson and boro romping to the championship title, soon to sign Brazilian superstar Juninho. Up the road super Kevin Keegan was capturing the nations hearts with his entataynaz as Beardsley and Cole ran amok. Meanwhile in Sunderland flat cap Micky and his whippet were leading safc to the dizzy heights of twelfth in the endsleigh league. A truly horrific time to follow the lads

It wasn’t that bad. We were shit yes, but had been shit for a while and kind of accepted it. And if we hadn’t had the bad times under butcher and Buxton, the Peter Reid revival wouldn’t have been half as much fun, if it had happened at all!

Even the transfer windows were boring.
Didn't we just turn dariuz's move into a permanent one. And that was all the happened in the summer.
