That team didn't go up because they weren't good enough. The football it played was all too often poor as well. I remember long conversations on here about us playing a boring long ball game when we were outnumbered in midfield.
No one is saying it was great every game but as a whole it was still far more entertaining than negative, safety first football. We won twice as many as we lost and regularly scored 2s, 3s, 4s. Plenty of goals from open play, not relying on set pieces.

Yes we could mix it up and go long to Bothroyd, but he was terrific at bringing others into a play. It certainly wasn’t aimless hoofball with no one around an isolated striker like we have seen with Warnock or Slade and Malky for large parts.

Let’s be honest Eric youve always had an axe to grind with Dave Jones for some reason.
