The month of doom

[daveemiller]

A number of reasons why we got relegated - missed chances, missed penalties, lack of quality, terrible home form, perhaps even lack of nerve in the run in.

The fixture pileup far outranks them all and though it's been well documented, it's not been given anywhere near enough credit by our fanbase. I think we were something like 13th top scorers in the division prior to the second covid bout and could scarcely score afterwards. Quite simply we looked a different team during that fixture pileup. Even Smudge looked knackered in some games - particularly the Birmingham one - after 20 minutes!

We should have stopped up regardless, but without the fixture madness, i'm absolutely certain we would have stopped up comfortably. Ah well.
