And how. Miles ahead in league in February, lost big Nev to injury in March and a couple of others struggling too. Began to drop just enough points for Rs to remain in contention. Threw final away from winning position although unlucky about one of goals I think was offside. Can't bear to watch again to check!! Front row seats for them to win the double from us. Terrible two/three weeks.Basically it was just cos it was "them" in both cases
I never forget coming out of that rathole in the February and hearing some of them rattling on it was their worse side since they were in the second division,within three months they'd spawned the double,only them,only bloody them
Truth was it was!!!! And they knew it. They just laughed at how the hell they did it.I never forget coming out of that rathole in the February and hearing some of them rattling on it was their worse side since they were in the second division,within three months they'd spawned the double,only them,only bloody them
I think they picked up something like 36 points from 38 so on reflection we didn't blow it,our form was just not quite as good as them in that period,how they won it with McDonald,Wark Beglin etc god only knows
Yep their run was excellent, credit them for that. But we just could not close the deal so it still feels like we gave it away. Leading away at Luton lost late on. Drew away at forest, lost to Oxford away with late goal. Tricky fixtures those three but just one really good win in those defeats and we would have done it.I think they picked up something like 36 points from 38 so on reflection we didn't blow it,our form was just not quite as good as them in that period,how they won it with McDonald,Wark Beglin etc god only knows
