Losing him was where it went wrong, wasn't it?

That and selling a lot of the squad off after Cook had left for Portsmouth. Deciding to hire Saunders after having a 10 minute conversation when he brought his Crawley side to the Proact which they lost. Giving Saunders a good budget and him wasting it on players who weren't good enough and giving players high wages when they didn't deserve them. Sacking him and blaming it on the fans when we lost 4-0 at home to Swindon.

I think a lot of the problems weren't addressed in 2010-11 when we got promoted to L1 under Sheridan. We lost Craig Davies to Barnsley on a free and he wasn't replaced, a lot of that team which got us promoted were loanees who didn't stay and new players we signed in L1 struggled, we also lost Jack Lester for a lot of that season when he broke his arm against Leyton Orient and also when Tommy Lee got injured and we had about 3 different keepers, Soderberg, Smith and Greg Fleming who was the No 2. We won the JPT that season but came straight back down to L2.
