    Doesn't it add to the frustration though, that we come up with a performance (and a win) like that, now that the season is well and truly over.
    And with Bolton, Hudds, Reading, and L.Orient all struggling to get over the line in this last part of the season.
    It shows that this really is a big missed opportunity, that we've not taken.
    I've never agreed when fans dismiss a season, and say we're not good enough or not ready to go up yet. And let's hope we can do it next season instead, etc.
    Surely that's nonsense, because when it comes to promotions, you've got to take them if/when you can get them!. 😕

    I agree with all you are saying but the simple truth is that we have been poor at home all season and I lay that at playing wing backs at home has been a disaster, teams have just waited for our wing backs to bomb on and countered by playing the ball over the top and catching us out time after time , so predictable , so much space for opposition forwards to run into and exploit, at least Conner has recognised this and is trying to address the problem , it is very clear that we need defenders especially full backs who can actually defend , Bland yesterday did a very good job at right back whilst Earl did ok at left back , Roberts was his usual solid self at centre back and McCarthy had one of his better games but the first thing we need in the summer is the recruitment of another proven centre back and a left full back , maybe Gent might be the answer with some coaching but we have not missed out at all this season , we have been no where good enough at the back and as a unit we have been light years off being a promotion contender .
