You're all correct of course. Doncaster proved it. Started off slow and improved to mid-ta

ble at the end. All with a team of moderately talented triers who player together week-in, week-out. Tall triers most of them, which was also a big failing of ours this year.

Every home game at the line up bit at the start we looked smaller all over the pitch that almost everyone else.

I said it to the bloke next to me every week. In the end he started saying it first, I think just to shut me up.
