Apart from the playoffs, in which we were ridiculously unlucky, things seemed to go for us pretty much all season. Even the last game against Luton was bizarre. They battered us and it somehow finished 0-0.
This season has been the complete opposite. Nothing seems to fall for us. We could play brilliantly and still not win. In fact, in what I think were our 3 best performances this season - Bury at home, MKD away, and Stags at home - we've only managed to pick up 4 points and score 3 goals.
You do make your own luck, of course. And we absolutely deserve to be bottom of the football league.
