Now that may not be what happened but it confirms what even the so-called better teams do when they play us!
Agree about Hunt too. In fact, to be fair to Artell, he has a better record in transfer dealings than his predecessor, both in terms of recruitment and retention. Ainley, Kirk and Jones all retained; Hunt, Bowery, Nicholls, Green, Nolan, Porter, even Raynes at times, have all looked worth the signing-on fees and certainly those that were loaned last season did the job. Now then Kenny, keep coaching them as we want!
