Apart from a couple of flurries,we never did. Should be a really interesting Summer with MH in charge. Bring back the BBQ,bring back the Cricket match at Wicko and bring back the green tea and fire up the plane for a preseason trip to La Manga rather than running round some Uni campus in Scotland!
We were in 12th once under Hamshaw. His 14 points in 8 games if extrapolated over the season would be 80.5 points an that would have put 6th and in the play-offs.
Regarding the game it was a decent game and we deserved the win over the 90 minutes, it is good to finish with a win and for some of the loan players to put a good shift in for the last game was good to see. Just the fact that we play so much more football, it is clear what a fit Kelly brings to the team, I hope we can get 30+ league games from him next season. Powell is a wonderful player, yes not all the set pieces are great but another assist for him today and his work rate is outstanding, they have to offer him a new contract this summer, we can't let a talent like that disappear on a free in 2026. I think it will be difficult next season so many Yorkshire clubs in league 1 and Cardiff, Luton and Reading (under new ownership) will be big spenders. It is insane that Luton will still get Premier league money when in l1.
Sibley was excellent today and there is a real talent in Gore as well. To say he isn't match fit he gave a good performance for 60 minutes. A midfield of Powell, gore, Kelly and McWilliams isn't bad for L1.
A good game and a good result
