DCFC1388 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 And I disagree that our defence cost us promotion - we had one of the best defences in the league since the arrival of Mac! Three things cost us promotion in my eyes: 1) Not having McClaren for the whole season 2) Not having Thorne for the whole season 3) That run of games vs Burnley, Millwall, Bolton and Reading where a mix of bad luck (Martin sending off) and not being able to score in a brothel meant we took 2 points from 12 and Burnley got away from us. Fair points and I don't disagree with any of them but our defence compared to someone like Burnleys wasn't as good as there were some games where it cost us points like Birmingham home and away. But with regards your points I think on point 3 is why we need another forward for 'backup' because Sammon isn't good enough. Just another thing on Keogh, he was better in his 1st season with us than last year...does anyone think him being captain may have hindered him from just playing his own game? Sometimes players get stifled by the responsibility rather than thrive on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
