I get that you're a big fan of Pressley but the fact is that 8th is never better than 6th and, no matter how you spin it, there's no getting round that.

I didn't want him at first and believed it was a terrible appointment. However I've mellowed a bit over the season and, in reality, he's probably done better than I expected him to; outside of the derby performances. I was one of the 'down by Christmas' mob and I'm honest enough to admit I was wrong but, again in reality, I wasn't far wrong really and we're still not clear of relegation threat three games from the end of the season. I do however have a decent amount of confidence we'll avoid that and am hopeful of an 8th place finish but believe we'll be 9th or 10th.

Next season will be very telling for Pressley, he needs to improve performances on the park and, ideally, league placing even if that's just certain to be clear of relegation threat early enough for us all to have a relaxed run in to the season end. He has nowhere to hide next season, it'll be his squad from day one and there will be no shambolic start like there was this season. Mind you, with Nelms in charge there's no real guarantee of that.
I'm not a big fan....I'm a fan of DFC and I think Elvis has done a very decent job in dreadful circumstances.

First game back was when the banner came oot......I saw a lot of organisation and fight that day and hoped things would turn.....they did
