Quote: bentleberry "That same team also struggled in the middle 8s and only secured SL status in the final 2 minutes of the MPG. If the squad has hardly changed, that can't be a good sign of progress for the coming season'"
Just imagine if you were a part of the squad who did well enough too get into the top eight and then through no fault of your own you are cast into the relegation scrap, how do you think you would feel ? it could even be said that had that squad who would have finished seventh with the points they amassed had the enthusiasm the victories gave them might have just sneaked a couple more due to motivation ?
I know for sure it de-motivated the fans too a point where the fanbase halved once there was no reason to continue .
