The whole second half of the season was. From January onwards we won every game at home, bar the amazing 4-4 with Orient and we'd travel away with hope of getting a precious away victory to help close the gap further still.

We lost nearly everywhere though - Torquay, Lincoln, Carlisle, Darlington, Hull, Chester and Scunthorpe. I remember the latter well - a miserable 1-0 defeat and as we skulked away from the ground at the end of the game, we thought we were going to run out of matches and we were done for. The next game was Wigan who had already achieved promotion, possibly as champions. Looking back, maybe they were "on the beach" and that helped us, as we beat them 1-0.

Scunthorpe was the most dejected I'd ever been as a supporter.

Incredibly I'd forgotten about Exeter also being terrible that year.

In some ways they were in the same position as Burnley are this year as the other two 'contenders' had to face each other on the final day.

No we had 46 dear boy. And by some quirke of fate it was goals scored that year in preference to goal difference
