I still think us 6th, Rovers 9th at best, which was what I predicted before the season started. I still think that overall we've had a good season with all factors considered.

You see under Agar it wasn't the players to blame it was the Coach stupid ! , but now with plenty of new players in the side , it's not Gentle's fault. Are we saying that Turner/Manu/O'Meley are completely over running PG mgt ability ? I hope not, because every season you have players you fall out with

Where has anyone said it isn't a combination of players and coaches????

think we will finnish 6 th which is an improvement on last year, we are getting better despite sat terrible display, big change over in playing staff next year and i hope to see us push on further,never easy being an fc supporter,but hey whats new lol

Looking at it in perspective apart from some stumbling performances and some shocking ones, Gentle has still improved on previous seasons and we have qualified for the play offs with games to go (not just scraped in them), beaten Rovers x 2 should have been 3, beaten Leeds for first time in years. All this with a team that was signed by the previous regime and clearly not good enough. We have had players who have come in mid season and players leave mid season, a catalogue of injuries with little or no cover (due to inadequacies from years poor team management/recruitment previously). plus we have seen more academy players in the 17 this season than in the last 5/6 years.

It has been a momumental transistional period from pre season and during the current season but yet we are still in the play off places. It has become clear some players either are not too bothered as they are moving or just can't hack it.

So even with all the issues we have still improved on what we have done in the last few seasons. I am sure Gentle can take this club forward and will not stand for performances like Saturday night.

Great post agree with every word.

Spot on IMO. Yes, we've had some performances that were lower than we would have expected, but the opposite is also true. It's the nature of a disrupted and transitional side to be inconsistent, we just have to hope that improvements we have made are the things that stick long term and regularly.

Saturday was bad, really bad but I expect a massive performance against Bradford.
I thought I'd watch it again just to see if it really was as bad as I remembered but the only way I could stomach it was to run the Benny Hill sound track over it with a couple of BONG'S, CRASH, BANG, WHOLLOP'S and the odd cycle horn.

My final verdict:Best forgotten.

FC 6th
Wakey 8th (this year)

rlCould be worse, our chairman could have given up alreadyrl

I'm surprised that squad is costing the full cap.

I'm more surprised that with the players he's signed their going to save half a million next year.

that was my immediate thought also, my guess is Dobson and Green are both on massive wages as has been rumoured a lot, a few others must be on more than they're worth too
