Well done Mr Richie
i would have - but i bet many on here would have wanted us to have won the title already with winning every game!
Were a point better off than I expected before the last three games I expected us to lose at Oldham because we always do, draw with Southend having faith in our home record and win at Blackpool as we a have a good record there in recent times.
Wherever we finish now... ...in the playoffs or not - this season has been a SUCCESS without a shadow of a doubt. I can't for the life of me understand these people who always want more. It must be soul destroying for the players and management to know that, even if they'd matched Reading's season, there'd be some miserable tw*t out there wanting to know why they hadn't won every game. By 3 clear goals.
RE: Wherever we finish now... Richie has got the makings of a solid squad, with a decent centre forward and ball winning midfielder we'd have won the league. Even if we fail this season we should be in a good position to go up next with the right couple of signings. (Even though McPhail will probably leave in the summer if we don't go up)
