We started the season with an awful midfield, Vaughan and Hussin woeful, Hewitt not good enough to hold it together by himself.
No width or pace, Thomas was useless, Enzio inconsistent, neither helped the full backs.
Didn't replace Shola , went all season without a No 9, Dennis started injured, had no support and was hung out to dry playing as a lone striker.
Too many managers, too many players, most not good enough and a chairman who had a personal but public meltdown and bankruptcy.
All in all not much went right. Hemmings has maintained his form but injuries have hampered him and Milsom having been released has come back and arguably been player of the season as he was two seasons ago. Makes you wonder why he was frozen out second half of 17/18 season when he had plenty still to give and that in itself tells a story.
Utter mess and terrifyingly there's nothing to suggest we've yet hit rock bottom.
