Highest ever league finish of 8th, built a squad of top quality players that are now filling Football League and top of the table Conference sides.
How did this squad of "top quality players" only manage to finish 8th?
Because we spent hours passing the ball sideways instead of shooting. No joke. How Fleetwood bagged 40 odd I have no idea! Jim knew how to play the Football League way but didn't enjoy signing on the physical six footers that win you Conference matches - thats why we had such a fantastic record against Football League sides in the FA cup and pre season games. But if you see some of the names, where they are now and how quickly they have departed the New Lawn then its no wonder we're now using a mixture of college and former Football League youngsters each week:
Simon Clist - Oxford, Lee Fowler - Oxford, Alex Lawless - York, Stuart Fleetwood - Charlton (Exeter on loan), Mark Beesley - Cambridge Utd, Darren Jones - Hereford Utd, Michael Brough - Torquay (Mansfield on loan) etc. Apologies for using your forum for reminiscing of the good times!!
