Safe, now let's look forward.
We got 100% effort and commitment from everyone today. How often could we say that this season? It wasn't pretty. It was tough. But we played sensibly and eventually got the breaks.
I had a sneaking feeling our luck was changing when McAteer got his ban rescinded and Matt Murray got recalled. Macca and Wilson were outstanding. Then it got better when Goodison was injured in the warm-up and Tremarco played.
For the first time this season we can relax next Saturday. I hope little gives a couple of the youngsters a run out.
What a waste of a season we have had. League One has been so tight this year with no runaway teams. If we'd played as well this season as last seaon, we'd be loking forward to Championship football in August.
As for next season, I just hope we can hold onto our best players. Robbo will go. His skill and vision will be missed, but we have our best youngster in Carl Tremarco to take his place. I hope we get better players joining us than we got last summer (Greenacre apart). I'd like quality not quantity and rely on the loan system, which has done us well.
I think we'll know where we stand by the end of September. If we are in the top six, let's get behind Brian. If not, he'll have to go.
