We are happy to have avoided any sort of relegation scrap to begin with Gards, which the bookies had us and Burton down as favourites for. Some Derby fans were complimentary about us at the weekend but they still give us the 'punching above our weight' tag, which annoys me a bit.
BUT despite all that, I know what you mean and the fact that we really could have done much better this season had we not offloaded our top players cheaply, and we havent really replaced them either, its frustrating.
Some might say its sound financial common sense not to spend madly and put ourselves in trouble. But the majority of us have said its a total lack of ambition, and we might not come close to the Champship play offs again for a long time!!
