IB has a big choice to make this week: abandon his own principles (for which he’s been hired) and tell the players to get back to basics, play 3-5-2 and get the ball in the opposition half at the earliest opportunity. Or, go with the tippy-tally nonsense the players are struggling to implement and end up drawing or losing if we get another performance like Saturday’s second half.

It was only when I looked at the table this morning, and seeing the teams we have to play, that I realised how much promotion is still in our own hands. I just hope the players and management recognise this too.

Looking further ahead, the owners have a big decision this summer too: what to do with the youth set-up. We’ve just enjoyed our best season in a while at that level, but what happens now the league won’t fund us anymore? Also, how many players of a championship-winning side do we retain and look to blood in the first team? Given IB’s coaching credentials, shouldn’t this be part of his remit?
