It didn't take us long to forget Garcia did it!

OG was instantly forgettable. When he arrived, I was excited at his reputation for playing attacking football but soon realised that there was a big, big difference between his reputation and reality. I know he got us to the play-offs but the football was pretty dire to watch most of the time so I won't miss him.

Nothing really about him was memorable. "Boring" personality and we didn't play fantastic attacking football that we expected. Take nothing away, he got us into the play offs and I'm grateful for that but other than the Forest game there isn't much I will remember in years to come.

Dire football because he was hamstrung by the SHIT squad. Do you think he wanted to play the football he did? Of course not, but he knew the players we had weren't capable of fast, expansive counter attacking football. Therefore he set up defensively, ground out wins and got us into the top 6.

Selective memory will usually make you remember the games we should have won but didn't (e.g. Yeovil) but he was a quality manager who would have taken us up without a problem if we had the squad/financial resources of Leicester/Reading etc.

I think you're all being astoundingly mean. I can easily forget about Oscar, especially given his bizarre decision to return to MTA. It's even easier given his replacement. But he did a fine job, under difficult circumstances, got us into the play-offs and, probably most importantly, brought Ince through, and gave March his start, and plenty of exposure for JFC.
That said, can't help thinking that Hyypia is A VERY GOOD THING for Dunk.

Say what you like I liked him, he got the best from a very fragile squad and it should never be forgotten.

Seeing him shuffle around the technical area hands in pockets, inspecting his loafers, when it was kicking off against Newport County rang alarm bells for me. I like a bit of fight in people.

I liked Oscar and think he did a good job. But he used to come across a bit distant in his post and pre match interviews, so its probably why people have moved on so quickly, also he was not here very long. I wish him well. It was not ment to be, he has moved back and we have moved on.

Did ok but he was ok but he and his team was CRUSHINGLY dull most of the time. We move onto more exciting times.

Spot on. Solly March wouldn't have been making his England U20 debut recently but for Oscar. Was very good news for the youngsters.

Let's be honest ... I don't think he really liked it here but was too decent a chap to bail out until the season was over.

On balance the wrong appointment, but these things happen.

Must admit this season was the first in my life that there were games when I wished I'd brought a paper with me.
