There was enough in the team to avoid relegation as proven by some good results s a fine run after Shez left. LOTS of missed chances and a few inexplicable actions sent us down.

Possibly. Not necessarily to the same extent as Moimbe conceding or not conceding the penalty will have affected the complexion of subsequent games though.......

You'd like to think the likes of Gerrard, or Clarke had he been here, would have been rallying around making sure nobody played the victim no matter how bad any interference or off pitch matters were...

HarryBosch Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 2 hours ago, unsworthlatic said: There’s a variety of reasons why we got relegated. Ultimately apart from a two month spell where we were good (very good) we didn’t do enough to stay in the division over 46 games. You could strip it right back to the summer when Shez waited and waited and waited for Ripley to return. Sure, I would have waited maybe until mid July but not until the last week of pre-season. You could look at having 3 subs on the bench at Blackpool, still don’t know why that happened? You could look at the Fane sending off at home to Charlton (never a red card), you could look at Edmundson’s stupid tackle at Fleetwood in the last minute to cost us 2 points (just like Moimbe did), you could look at the takeover disrupting clubs like it generally does, creating uncertainty around the club. Then there’s the French Lads that he brought over, Doyle missing a bagful of chances v Walsall. There’s a whole host of reasons, so to put the blame or a proportion of the blame at Moimbe’s door is slightly narrow-minded considering a season lasts for 46 games. Yet, despite all that, one more goal at Northampton could have kept us up... Sickening isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy b Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 You really are a challenge. post-shez leaving, please tell me where efforts were made to improve the defence, compared to other areas, by bringing in new personnel. Seriously neglected area compared to midfield and attack. thats my point. Surely you won't disagree with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 For those that are interested the Accounts for Brass Bank Ltd for the year to 31st March 2017 have finally been submitted (late)to Co House. They show a slight loss (of £47K) and continuing support by the Directors (Blitz and Gazal) to the tune of £7M. There has been additions of £4M to Investment Property financed by an increase in Bank Loans of £3.7M The information available regarding new bank finance doesnt to my eyes tell anything about the specifics of the Additions to Property. Before the usual suspects jump in and speculate that those Additions are the North Stand (or part thereof) please look at the Additions to Property within OAFC Ltd. As is usual the intention seems to be to put into the public domain only the information required by law. Not much to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
