I was thinking the same after watching us the last few matches.
Don’t create enough chances and giving away far too many penalties. In my opinion, that’s just poor defending. Just stand up and jockey the player not dive in every time.

Last season we finished 14th under harriman, if we finish below that is it seen as going backwards? I'm not so sure as it's been a really competitive season and everybody seems to be able to beat everybody. Also, the football has been better to watch. I'd imagine the plan for next season is to achieve play offs, going to be difficult with some of the other teams budgets, but standards have to be set high. No point in trying to compete otherwise

Last seasons team would be rooted with 10 points right now in this seasons league. We’d be very similar to Rugby town right now, but from the start. Rugby look so poor

I am inclined to agree. Whilst I'm clearly not impartial here, I do think we would have been soundly relegated this year with last year's squad.

The events of the last 2 weeks have obviously cast a shadow on everything that's gone before but I'm quite content with my supporter's cap on that this has been a much more enjoyable and much more entertaining season than any of the 3 before it. History will remember the points return which probably won't be quite where we would have liked, or expected, given the state of play just a couple of weeks ago. However results on paper don't really tell the story of the season.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....
