Rattea, can you remind me which season we did well in under Nigel Clough, please?

09/10 14th on 56 points
10/11 19th on 49 points
11/12 12th on 64 points (11 off the playoffs)
12/13 10th on 61 points (7 off the playoffs and lost more than we won)

I haven't posted the 08/09 stats as he was only at the club from January.

The last 2 full seasons were "OK" but not of the standard of performance or results we would like to think a club like ours should be having. Midtable in the Championship is not "doing well" for a club like ours. The play was that of a siege mentality and not very entertaining despite an average goals for and against total of just shy of 3 a game. That siege mentality was needed when he arrived and I have always thought he got stuck in that rut and couldn't get out of it.

The good thing about NC was that he put a good squad together but was unable to put the right pegs in the right holes and in the right shape with the right mindset to create a top team. It took Stevie Mac to do that.
