Season we went up, Dave Regis scored 16 (League and play offs), top flight season he scored a grand total of nil in all comps and made only 9 league apps (4 as sub). Also Draper only chipped in with 1 goal (at Oldham) after contributing 9 the promotion season.

Up to that point almost every signing we made under Warnock improved the team - Palmer, Cherry, Turner, Short, Thomas, Bartlett, Harding, Regis, Chris Short, Paris. The one exception was Stant.

After we got promoted we signed some real dross and crocks, Dryden, Agana, Andy Williams, Kevin Wilson, McClleland and Farina on loan, Catlin, Dave Robinson and Robbie Turner. Only Murphy and Dave Smith turned out to be decent but not before Warnock was sacked.
Incredible really how we lost the Midas touch in the transfer market almost overnight.
