I do blame him/Mel however for ruining that position we had put ourselves in, by trying to put all of the new signings in at once for season 91-92, and it all fell apart for him after that. I think he even said something similar to that actually.
Well considering that our best players were sold in 1991- Aggy, Baker and Tiler, it was difficult to replace their quality with cheaper acquisitions. However, Machin did sign Steve Davis and Redders that season who were leaders and the nucleus of the promotion squad. He also brought in Wayne Biggins and brought back David Currie that season who both could entertain on their day. I loved Biggins, one of my all time favourite Barnsley players. His debut was sensational against Luton. I agree with Roma, Machin did a very decent job all things considered.
