You seemed to be doing so well at first that I thought you were going up.
What happened to derail you?

Manager left - players affected by the change. And the Palmer injury.

Form was dipping well before Williams left. More to do with Matt Palmers injury exposing our NL defenders and keeper.

We didnt strengthen our defence, but we signed an ageing player for old times sake and appointed 3 idiots masquerading as a management team....

All of the above, apart from the leaves on the track...

Going up was never realistic with the defensive squad we had. The "doing so well" was an illusion in as much as we had a fairly easy start in terms of fixtures and we carried some momentum as promoted sides often do before they are found out. The first game of the season defeat was a salutory indication that League Two was a big step up.
We might have made play-offs if Palmer hadn't been injured and then the unsettling period of Williams' departure. Never got our broadband speeds back up, not helped by recruitment errors in the close season, exacerbated by not knowing which league we would be in and over optimism of the squad based on our NL performance.
But for some the answer is simply that we signed a League 1 leading goal scorer who really wanted to play for the team he supported and played for as a youth and everything went wrong from there.
You win some you lose some.
How come you've escaped going down? Thought it was written in the stars. You're not making life easy for yourselves.
