What a relief?

[BLUEAWAY]

At the beginning of the season whilst hoping for better there were many who thought that just escaping relegation might be our destiny.
The changes during the summer were hardly confidence building.
Even so, it’s been a horrible season, albeit I can remember many that were even worse.
Had we gone down I believe we would have struggled as our current squad just isn’t good enough - it’s not as we have been unlucky.
So, we have struck lucky and can hopefully improve from here.
Looking forward to next season.

I’ve always thought the squad was good enough, I think the Hudson appointment just totally derailed us for far to long. Although a slight concern we might go down I never really believed it, especially after Lamouchi was appointed.

We have been inconsistent all season

We are lucky to have escaped relegation but next time might not be

The worry for me is that we'll be looking at the scraps on the transfer floor again. We've staved off relegation with a certain degree of comfort for the last 2 seasons, but I fear when we go down, things will be so bad that we've kicked the can down the road and been worse off for it.

If we are to stabilise the club needs to give the manager something to work with

If they don't it's a one way trip to league one

I have hated this season

Yes been a horrible season, yet with that opening win against Norwich it started off so well. The only home game we played well in was against the Wurzels, thank god for our away form and Reading's points deductions.

2 more wins and we would be a mid table side

Amazing really

There are 5 teams below us, not 3.

Season isn't over yet though and Reading would be a point above us without the deduction.

Indeed

And we would have been a place closer to relegation

And even worse if Rotherham had won and not us

For people to suddenly get wise says everything

It's a massive relief that we have stayed up and we have got out of jail

Re: What a relief?

My confidence slipped a few rimes, but, deep down, I honestly thought we were too good to go down throughout the season. The reason for this is the 1-0 “thrashings” we handed out to a few teams early in the campaign (e.g. Birmingham, Blackburn, Sunderland and Rotherham) in which we were dominant - I suppose there was a warning in the fact we couldn’t score the goals our dominance merited mind.

However, I still stick to my opinion that if Tan and co continue to run the club like they have been during the last two seasons especially, we’ll go down soon.
