Even with the likes of Bogle, Amond, Disley, Arnold and Nolan we couldn't threaten top spot and only made it to the final through a daft penalty given away by the mighty Braintree.


And we’d have been up a year earlier if not for a terrible referree

The Braintree Pen point is stupid , we got a penalty... every team gets them, its like saying if we didnt score 3 in the final we wouldnt have won

You can't have it both ways. Who brought in those 5 quality players?

I think this leads to one of the biggest points in all this thread, while we were a decent side with decent individuals we missed one big thing, something which I dont think has changed to this day ,  a manager who understands that not losing isnt as valuable as winning.  
The Parslow point is something that we all understand and can refer to as a stand out illustration, Waterfall this season being similar but through most campaigns under Hurst it always felt that first half games were generally tight , we would get a goal.. then sit off....and wait.
Going for the jugular wasnt something that I ever felt we did, the odd games against shite opposition but when bigger games came along we seemed to play for a point.

It is very difficult (of course) to finish top and get automatic promotion.   There is no room for ever.

At least next season there are 6 play-off places (as well).

The same person that signed that tosser Payne.

We didn't threaten winning the League in any of the seasons he was in charge.

Just pointing that simple fact out to those suggesting we need to win the League.

An excellent summary of Paul Hurst' mentality and is the reason we have thrown so many single goal leads away in the final minutes of games costing us a valuable two points every time.

Regardless of fan’s opinion on Hurst he’s here for next season .
What the club needs is the total unified support of all the fans . Simple as that .

We are cut adrift at the very bottom of the football league. We need new everything.
