    o/t Burton Albion

    Everyone's favourite for finishing bottom and yet they have stayed up with room to spare. Given their facilities, fan base and finances, it begs the question - how? I hope they continue to defy the odds and show that a well run smaller outfit can mix it and make a place for themselves in the Championship

    Finishing 29 points behind Burton Albion must be the most damning statistic in a season of damning statistics.

    Cayton....Well you said it all !

    I thought you were being sarcastic in a reply to one of my posts - but reading back I've changed my mind - can you remember writing :

    How good was stubbs...... we all agree izzy was the best player in a millers shirt this season and he was brought in by stubbs. If he would have stayed / not get sacked - which in turn would have meant izzy would have stayed which would have given danny ward 25 goals and made him worth £5 million.

    Can't fault Caytons logic and he knows what he's on about.........and can I have a job with the SUN now please.......lol

    Cayton - you do remember saying all this don't you....it's been a while....lol...😉

    Must be favourites for relegation next season, unless they get some good players in then they will struggle along with Sheff U

    Don't think Sheff-U will struggle - the referees favour "Big Clubs" and they're bound to get more free kicks and penalties than we did ( yes it's now last season )

    And don't say we need to get in the penalty area first.....we were and ALL our nailed on penalties were waived away !

    Just ONE and what happens !
