We massively defied the odds that season. We never looked like we were playing within ourselves, it always seemed like we were punching above our weight and the football was often dire. It would be a big ask two seasons later for the same players to go through that again.
Every game was like watching a Cup Final, they left everything they had out on the pitch, it was probably a factor why we had so many injuries and players not declared fit enough to start. You can get away with that one season (as we obviously did) but it's a BIG ask to expect them to repeat that.
