Well there's one thing I know, Since we won promotion they've not let up on the players at all, not let them let their hair down slack off with training. Sheff united have done the opposite, since winning promotion they've been in party mode, not training as often going on team nights out,They've won every game since, we've won 0. Maybe we should've let them celebrate promotion more
Not sure I follow the criticism of Ferguson for allowing the players to celebrate promotion when it was confirmed. Do we think that's a unique thing?! Or do we think they poured so much Grey Goose down their necks they're still suffering the hangover now?! Last time we won the promotion early (03/04) the players were out in town celebrating that night and Dave Penney was with them. That year we went on to win the title, on this occasion we messed it up. But every team that gets promoted celebrates getting promoted because it's an achievement worth celebrating.Many of our fans ran onto the pitch in a spontaneous display of uncontrollable joy to celebrate getting promoted. It's only now that we seem to think it's shit.
mmm, I didn't see many fans run on at Hartlepool to celebrate finishing third.

It's really disappointing that we didn't push on to win the title. Team selections, tactics and poor performances were all factors. But it's done now, and it shouldn't detract from celebrating the fact that we've bounced back at the first attempt, which isn't easy. Amusingly I've seen references to the fact that our generous budget should have made promotion a given and anyone could've achieved it with our resources. Same people wanted rid of the Board for not providing enough funds before that. Now they have provided too many which has made our achievement underwhelming. There's just no pleasing some!
