Hats off to Andy and the boys for a great 1st season in League 1, Wycombe & Gillingham both back down and Exeter in 18th place means we have been the clear winners of the four promoted teams.
Please hang your heads in shame those that were calling for Andy’s head in Oct/Nov time after a few poor results, it has been a very tough league with some good teams in it, Andy knew he made some mistakes early on, but all credit to him he tinkered around with some players to change our losing streak and it paid off, we were, in the end a very difficult team to beat, both home and away, this has been a year for learning and I am sure Andy now knows the type of players he needs for this next season to continue the search for Championship football, he said it would take 3 years, 1 think he has made a great start, all credit to him and his staff.
Players I have been impressed with this season are: Leon, Charlie, Myles, Dave, I have no need to even mention Mr Brentford (KO) who has served this club with 10 years of outstanding loyal service, here is a man to whom all young players should model themselves on, lets hope at the end of his playing career a suitable role can be found for him within BFC, as he has red/white stripes running thought his veins.
A special mention also to the outstanding Wojciech, what fans will forget some of his stunning saves, and antics, here is a man destined for much greater things, it would be nice to keep him for next season, but we have to be realistic, he needs Championship/Prem football now, so will probably be moved on by Mr Wenger, lets just realise how lucky we have been to have him, and wish him all the best in his quest to be Arsenals number 1 keeper.
I now look forward to see who is going and who comes in to replace them, I think now Andy has had one seasons experience in this league he knows exactly what is required, the Directors seem to have faith in him and appear to back his judgement all the way, that helps, so come on, put your hands together for a great round of applause for Andy and the boys.
