DS was very lucky after the 'experiment' season in that a certain Corporal Jones had his last hurrah and pulled our club kicking and screaming to the title.To be fair we didn't stand a chance with Dracula Woods in goal and Barndoor Billy up top! LOLPure luck DS! TBF I did actually believe he was garbage and got lucky - but many thanks to him anyhoo for setting us on the way again by whatever method he did!
Bully Paynter was responsible for what will probably end up being the last in my long line of "Let's go f***ing mental" goal celebrations. The winner at Crewe elicited a response from me that I'd prefer the TV cameras hadn't picked up.
Don't understand the negativity towards Paynter, no world beater but always did a job for us.

What fun you must be to class taking Doncaster Rovers to the top of League 1 as 'achieving nothing'.

Four or five good months isn't enough to overlook the rest of his managerial career, particularly in the Football League, where he has stunk the place out wherever he has turned up.

Crippy.Context. It's not as though he took over three healthy clubs and drove them into the ground.His three relegations were of clubs whose collapse long-preceded his arrival.Yeah, he didn't save any of them, but it's a bit unfair to blame all the relegations on him.
He may well regret jumping ship with us, because he was having success and he would have been given time when things weren't going well.
