End of season summary

[Rugrat]

Thought it would be interesting to see a few thoughts on this past season so I'll start the ball rolling and will try to keep brief (there are/will be loads more)

Highlights

• The Amex and just about everything to do with it and the sense of anticipation before a ball was kicked - enough said
• Finishing 10th in the League
• Vicente - probably the best player I have seen playing for us
• Home games aganst Stains, Ipswich and Derby - if we could have replicated we would have won the league
• Goals - Calderon v Bristol (stunning) CMS v Ipswich (there are other ways) Buckley v Donny (for the occassion)
• Beating Newcastle and Sunderland and giving Liverpool a good go (at home!)

Lowlights

• The piss poor manner in which they load one P&R bus at a time
• The sense of disappointment at not being able to get 20 points from last 13 games
• Away games at Watford, Millwall and West Ham - bang on relegation form
• Not being able to create and put away more chances
• A crap disciplinary record
• Losing at home to you know who

Hope and expectations for next year

• Less bothered by league position but want to feel that we competed in every match and become more consistent
• Key signings - GK, FB, Bossing Midfielder, Buddy for CMS
• Gus really is learning, demonstrates it by improving (on and off pitch)
• Ruthless decisions need to be made - Painter and Dicker will be the demonstration for me, but others too
• Less loan players, disruptive and they don't settle (Mattock excepted)
• Vicente stays - please!

Pretty much agree with all you say (I don't use the P+R though so can't comment on that)...

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Very good summary that and well balanced as well.

I don't use the P+R though so can't comment on that

Wouldn't recommend it to you either

 

[Beach Hut]

Just nice to go to an event as opposed to Withdean

 

[Diego Napier]

That's a good summary, I think I'd just add for next year - even more immense atmosphere with the extra seats!

Bouncing this for the late(r) crew and it seems on topic with some others

 

[Quagmire]

Seems about right, it was a good season. Could have been better, could have been worse. Sets us up nicely for next year.
