Didn't Mel say that he would get us into the First Division in three years . Which funnily enough due to the League restructure which resulted in the Second Tier being renamed the First Division he did .
Far from it but we started to go backwards at a fair rate of knots. The season we nearly got into the play offs with Saville, Rammell, O Connell etc was brilliant, went pear shaped the season after and the football was turgid, but not quite as turgid as we’ve seen in recent times, apart from the odd honeymoon period.
