Time to be positive? A forgettable season ends with some good signs

As the 2024/25 season drew to a close in the last minutes on Saturday afternoon maybe it was apt that a defensive error cost us the win that we so desired on th

We should be positive, because we ended the season top 6 in the form table, it looks like the nonsense of Williams and Martin has been consigned to the dustbin of history (for now at least) and we already know we start with at least two new attacking midfielders coming in next season. We also know that this division is, well, a bit crap really. Anyone outside the top three down as far as 21st is much of a muchness.

That said, we have to send O'Brien back, Joe has retired, we might have to replace Darling without getting a fee, and our options at #9 still look pitiful. There is a lot to do.

Get our summer business right, and we might have a squeak at the play offs. If it's a bit hit and miss, we'll probably remain a mid-table side. But make a pig's ear of it, and we could easily end up circling the drain again.

I feel really optimistic for next season. Mainly due to the way we have approached the upcoming transfer window. I can't remember the last time we agreed deals with players before transfer window open. With Zeidane Inoussa, and possibly Wales next week. And then the hunt I imagine already on for Darling replacement. I think we have a good shot of at least top 6. If we can get the striker problem and strengthen midfield even more and get defense sorted.
