Relegation didn't look too much like a possibility as we held on fairly firmly to that 9th place. There were a few blips and a few losses crept in but overall we didn't take the fatal nose dive that the media were expecting (and predicting with every loss).
The squad performance picked up quite a bit as players settled, thought I'm not sure how well it shows in the stats*. As an aside I've been thinking of running something of analysis on some of the starts I have from each seasons match stats. I'm not quite sure what sort yet because of the sheer amount of variables but maybe with a few more seasons data I can think about looking at performance as related to some of the stats I've been focusing on like pass completion.
I've been noticed again and offered a job.
What I also did was turn a little traitor...
It was just too tempting. Birmingham, in League 1, with a squad good enough for the championship. A team from the second city and ripe for some real success. Unfortunately they turned me down. I think those are the kind of jobs I want to go for. I'm happy building with 'Tuna but a sleeping or fallen giant would be great.
Next Season
What to do? Where to recruit?
I'm not looking really for any players. Sounds a little daft but I think the team is good enough to survive. I don't want to rush into getting any players. Maybe a stunning left back would be great but I've got a lot of young players who deserve a chance.
If I can get a few cheap or promising players I'll add them for depth but otherwise we're going to try and keep the squad stable.
*Weeks of marking has pretty much fried my brain and I'm not going to go in depth with this end of season review.
