I guess that depends on what was likely to have happened had we got the decisions v Coventry in the play off SF and gone up. If you believe we would have been able to consolidate in the 3rd tier, then you could say he was unlucky and that one result might have changed everything, but if you think we would have got relegated straight back down again, then we probably would have faced a similar outcome, albeit delayed by a year.
