It might not feel it now, but only because we lost a Cup final and a Trophy semi. Whilst there is much that could be improved, there is also much to be positive about:
We got more points than last season (admittedly only because of the now defunct Macc Town);
We stayed up by 8 points;
We got the (joint) most points we've ever had in a 46 game season;
We reached a Trophy semi for the first time in 32 years, only missing out on a Wembley return with FC Halifax's last kick of the game;
We reached a first CSC cup final for 12 years;
We ended the season with a 4 game unbeaten run (in normal time);
We coped reasonably well with the switch to FT football.
If you'd offered me 17th after the Aldershot Town home game, I'd have snapped your hand off. I'd have settled for 60 points all day before the start of the season, and we were only four points short (probably partly because of the Welsh FA). With the money from the Trophy run, Seedrs and transfers (plus I suppose a little from the CSC), we should be well placed to improve again next season. If it is 71 points for the play offs again, we shouldn't be too far away.
