We all know the play offs is a lottery and Hurst got us there 4 seasons on the bounce.  Him and Scott were on an upward trajectory working in the league below at the time we appointed them. Admittedly one of them had anger management issues and soon left but as someone said earlier, imagine the uproar if we appointed someone cutting their teeth in the womens game managing Birmingham City Ladies?

On another note, I was at the Mansfield v Crawley game yesterday and their fans were extremely excited by Steve Evans appointment whereas there was a feeling of discontent on here when people linked him to the job.  Interestingly, Pat Hoban is a very effective target man and was their player of the month for October!

I saw something I never thought I'd see last night. Hoban scoring.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Things happened the way they did, and we'll never know if they could've happened differently (or quicker).

What I will say is that the disappointments of all those play-off failures made promotion (when it finally came) seem all the more sweeter, and given that we can't change anything, that's the way I'd prefer to look at it!

Don't get me wrong - I'd have loved us to bounce back straight away in 2011, or even in 2015 against Bristol Rovers - but the way it worked out meant we had an absolutely awesome day at Wembley in May that seemed extra special because of Operation Promotion.
