Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 8 Site Supporter Share Posted May 8 Given our results against the top sides, we didn't deserve playoffs. Finished strongly, without always being scintillating, and maybe some strengthening still required. It won't be easy next year; don't think anyone is convinced it will be, however some optimism is definitely justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 With the impressive firepower of Dion, Bakayoko,Bodvarsson and Dapo - it's hard to be anything but optimistic. Tighten it up at the back and we'll be there or thereabouts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt predict doom and gloom this season. We did as I expected. I am just trying to say it wont be as easy as everyone expects next year. Folk are expecting promotion.

Can see what you're saying - that the expectations will be higher next season and therefore it may be less enjoyable if those expectations aren't reached. However, those expectations aren't without logic/reason. We have the best form in the league since mid January and without the atrocious winter spell, that was a combination of covid, injuries and sarcevic drama we probably would've made playoffs this season. Not unrealistic to expect that we have a positive and exciting season, as long as we are more fortunate with injuries and keep playing the same way that we have done since January. Obviously it won't be easy, there's a lot of teams that have the same goals as us but I think we have more than a decent chance of having a better season than this one, which wasn't all sunshine and rainbows anyway despite a strong finish.
