That's Copps getting 10 goals in the season isn't it? That's 5 players who've got 10 or more this season. When was the last time that ever happened?!

Personally I couldn't care less about the title. When we won at Brentford I wasn't thinking about finishing top, it was all about getting promoted.

Our struggles against the better teams though gives some early cause for concern for next season.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Exeter
Post by: bobjimwilly on April 29, 2017, 04:53:53 pm
When will Fergie realised Williams and May ARE NOT game changers? Why take Coppinger off as well? Scored the goal and was having a good game.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Exeter
Post by: BobG on April 29, 2017, 04:54:08 pm
Agreed Syme. We've bullied moderate and poor teams this season but other than Portsmouth we've not really done much against the better sides. Even Exeter at their place was against a team in the bottom few at the time.

I'm very happy with Fergie.  Anyway, looking on the bright side, at least these games against the better teams will have given him more idea on which players will be good enough for next season.

And we're promoted, which was always the main job.

He took us to relegation from the edge of the play off places last year. He has now managed to be able to throw the title away. When things go wrong he doesn't seem to know how to stop the rot.

This poor run, and today in particular, does raise the question does Fergie REALLY know what he's doing ? A chance to win the title,at home with a full squad to choose from & we play 1 up front. Bizarre !
Im delighted we're promoted but a little deflated, is the best way to sum it up for me.
Roll on next season.
