Val was brought in after about 6 or 7 games, and he had a tough job on his hands just keeping us up, or so we thought.
I/we really liked the no nonsense approach and it became clear he would be getting rid of some of the so called dead wood in the squad pretty quickly.
And as the season wore on you could clearly see a togetherness within the squad, they were enjoying playing and winning, and basically sticking the middle finger up at the so called elite clubs who had us down as nobodies etc. That's what Val does bring to a squad.
