Well I stand corrected. I obviously remember it wrong but I didn’t think we were embedded in the playoffs at any time during that season, just the odd flirt and it was over barring a miracle before the final game.

If we'd scored a goal in the final game (a 0 - 0 against Doncaster at the Liberty) we'd have been in the playoffs.

I don’t remember that. I was sure I it would have taken a huge swing for that to happen. I think I remember Trundle coming in and willing him on to score as he hadn’t got many for a while but my memory has obviously let me down as I wasn’t harbouring much hope for the playoffs.

I think you're getting mixed up with the year before when we had a tiny chance for the playoffs under Martinez.
Under Sousa we were 4th, 11 points clear of 7th with 12 games to go.

Yeah, probably.
