He then started the next 17 games and our record was P17 W6 D4 L7 F16 A22 Pts 22 ---this equates to 1.29 points per game.
He was then left out of the last three games of the season, coming on as a late sub in each and our record was P3 W0 D1 L2 F2 A4 Pts 1 ----just 0.33 points per game.
Had we won one of those last 3 matches or, kept up the average of 1.29 points per game, we would have stayed up at the expense of Leeds because we had a much better goal difference.

Ah well, poor Wout will have to live with the fact that he was to blame because we had been doing so well when he wasn't playing for us.
I have never liked it when our own "fans" single out one particular player for criticism. I have mentioned previously my mate took great exception to a "fan" who was also a season ticket holder and was seated directly behind us. He constantly gave Paul Weller dog's abuse, Stevie my mate asked him to stop because at the time we had 2 wives & 5 kids all going to the matches with us, but he carried on.

I think it was Boxing Day and off he ranted, Steve turned round and smashed him right in the mush with a left hook Henry Cooper would have been proud of. We never saw the eejit again.
