It was an open game right until Khan finished off whatever they had left. We don't want too many repeats of that if were to continue this winning run. Give over, we were on top most the match and should have been out of sight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted time to clear what he could out and brought much better players in over the summer. As a result, our performances, in the main, are light and day in improvement.

Forest (a) in 06/07 won 2-0 away midweek which kick started our season and Chris Porter’s brilliant run of form. sent Philip Morais off in a 1-1 draw at home to Walsall at the end of the season. 2-1 home win vs Oxford on a Tuesday night during the first Shezzurection. Lee Erwin brace. Three times during the season we went down from L1, all good results strangely. 2-1 (h) v Bury, the 2-2 away at Blackburn and the final victory of the season, 2-1 home to Blackpool.

Watch his post match interviews around the time they put the season tickets on sale, he's as responsible as anyone for the poor crowds. I know for a fact of people who didn't renew based purely on that, it was a PR disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever his quality as a ref (!) that’s remarkable, there can’t be many who’ve refereed at EFL/non league level for 20 years. Must have started young!

Certainly most of them, we did quite well in too!

It's more a case of the right players having been brought in to make them gel as a team. Monthe and Ogle spring to mind. It was never going to be a complete overhaul when you already had players here with the skill set required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to admit It was an overly negative and ill timed response which I’m sure made the minds up of a few ‘sat on the fencers’. I renewed myself but it really annoyed me at the time, especially after such a shocking end to the season. The picture he painted for the coming season certainly wouldn’t have encouraged any 1st time buyers!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to put a positive spin on it as I like to do , some extra fans may come along with them and POTD. Generally though not everyone who gets a free ticket turns up but any boost to the attendance is better than doing nothing and I hope OAFC do more of these.

When it came to decision time I was probably always going to renew but I agree it did make me think about it. The clincher was that I enjoyed going to the match with friends and family and the whole ritual involved with that regardless of how the team did, but everyone has different reasons for renewing or not and I can definitely see why it put people off.

Whoa there !!! That might be a tad over the top, I would pick any post-match Unsworth interview (when he did them) over that but as sweeping statements go yours is one of, if not the, most sweeping one ever Anyway let's not dwell because if you haven't noticed this year we are doing quite well and MM is now happy (I think).
