Gary Chapman,

Kick started our season that became the first of a double promotion to the top flight. Did sod all else after we signed him permanently, but god bless the fella.

I'd say Ryan Yates was possibly the most influential. I think that we would have had a good chance of promotion if he had stayed for the full season, because our form dipped after he left. None more so than Jorge Grant, who became a shadow of the player he was with Yates there.

This (IMO) was a massive moment for the club. Pavis sent Kuhl back to Derby after a sending off (away at Barnsley if I recall) without discussing it with the then manager Mick Walker. This directly led to Walker leaving the club, Russell Slade being appointed and us getting relegated from what is now the Championship. We have rarely threatened to get back to that level.

For all the good that Pavis did the club his meddling in team affairs at times let him down and this was no exception.
