I could say we didn't deserve it tonight, but the effect of the first leg and the early year fixes make their impact upon a team's morale. The manager dared to grumble about refereeing decisions months ago which didn't help of course.
We were never going to be allowed to go up, because big money talks. The League seem to be untouchable. Everyone knows that they are a sick organisation but no one can get them to reform. I suspect that we will never be allowed to go up by them.
Mind you Forests withdrawal of Yates, and the recruitment of a dressing room wrecker were fundamental too!
Sick!!!!!
