question - at what stage of the season did it sink in that we wouldn't be going for promotion?

worthington "after a poor start to the campaign we didnt do ourselves any favours, but we were hit very hard with injuries. However we didnt give up and with alot of hard work we put ourselves back into contention foir a play off spot in the second half of the season. we were so close to the top six at one stage but we knew it was going to be difficult after the burnley game which we lost 2-0 on tv, having had the chance to be four up in the first 20 minutes."

question - a lot of fans have called for your head this season. do you believe you are the right man to take us up?

worthington "this has been our first really indifferent season in my 5 and a half years here. although you have to look at the injury problems we have had. Some people don't take that into consideration, but they are entitled to their opinions"

question - do you think we have got a good enough squad to go up next season?

worthington "there will be some new faces coming in during the summer, whiles some of the players that are out of contract will be leaving. But I can't see us making to many changes as I feel the basis of the squad is good enough for us to mount a real challenge next season.
