I cannot see us rising any higher in the league table and, for me, it is all about retaining a double digit points gap between us and those teams occupying the relegation places. Has it been a disappointing season? Given the squad we started the season with, I think we are about where we should be, though I did predict at the start of the season we might finish 13th. I may have been unduly optimistic!
Thank you for your effort to actually get this back on theme. However, it immediately went back off track again. FGS people just start another post if you want to talk about another topic! It doesn't take a B.Sc in anything to do that.
Anyway, - on topic- I hope CBR can make an early comeback. The management are suggesting the end of next month (but are making it clear that is optimistic!). That would bring him back in the middle of the tough run. I look forward to that as we have sorely missed him. Ainley should be in full contention as well this week. I'm looking forward to an improvement that would prove that circumstances rather than innate incompetence have affected the club this season.
Not expecting a play-off push but don't believe relegation is a real danger.
