Like MNH, not been able to make that many games this season, but even so I've enjoyed some real highs and lows. The away win at Stockport was magnificent and it really doesn't seem that long ago, which makes the season now being over seem so strange.
Lows? Yeah, heading to the bar at Barrow with Boston 4-2 down will live with me for the rest of my days, but that defeat at Hednesford was truly grim. And although I couldn't go, losing at Workington must surely underline why we didn't make the play-offs - we had a team that was, on its day, capable of going toe-to-toe with the best in the league, but just not consistent enough to really push for promotion, particularly away from home.
If we can keep the core of the team together and add a bit more quality, we can go again next season. Sadly, I don't think we have the resources to build a side that will blow the league away, but there's nothing stopping us having another play-off push and Dennis (and scout) has shown he can build exciting teams on a budget. Isn't that what we've been crying out for? To my mind, it's exactly what we need. No, at this moment in time it's unrealistic to expect us to compete with the stupid cash sloshing around, but in many ways wrecking the dreams of the big money pub sides is quite satisfying in its own right.
Also - our away support this season... superb. Decent group, too - no infantile wannabe top boy knobheads giving it large to five OAPs at the snackbar, just a genuine bunch singing win, lose or draw. See ya next season.
