Got to agree with you now will be VERY lucky if we do hit top six and i think it will take a lot of other teams results to go our way.
What about next season?
We started off playing 4-4-2, we changed to the diamond 2-0 down! And did pick up a bit at least. Maybe he should have changed it again in the second half when they took control, but really I think this was such an awful performance in every aspect that any such change would have made little difference.I don't think it was the defeat Easy, but more the manner of it.
I for one think Wilkins should take as much blame as the players, due to his not changing his formation. He changed the players but kept the diamond, when we were crying out for some width in my opinion.
I said "lackadaisical" because they SHOULD have started this match with pedal to the metal - it was a full house, they were watched by two sets of Albion Legends (), and they are going for playoffs. EVERY incentive contained in the pre-match, but sadly lacking on the pitch.
Next season?
Well, we 'might' look at this season as a reasonable success in hindsight;- little to no money spent, surviving a couple of player/agent revolts mid-season, unfettered for the most part by key injuries, yet still managing to vie for a playoff place! All in all, those facts are against many odds and beyond many expectations.
I think we will spend a little more of next season in the playoffs, than we did this one.
That is providing a few new lads are brought in, and can add to the assets we do have already.
I shouldn,t worry. If Thomsons intelligence, matches his skill and courage on the football pitch, he wont even have the ability to switch a computer on,...never mind working his way onto to NSC.
The players only came alive or showed any kind of sense of urgency in the last five minutes. Just won't do.
