The Year Of The Fox Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 Who was our left back(s) during our relegation season? Me and a mate were having this conversation. I thought it was mattock, he thinks he was only a bit part player. Also more specifically, who was.the left back at stoke away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 Still cannot believe Gareth McAuley is playing in the Premier League. Scored yesterday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc_star Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 As shit as it seems it was still better than at least 3 teams in that division at the time & probably better than about 6 to 10 if managed well. Still, relegation was a good thing IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleckneymike Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 We were never short of a right back though Kaebi, Stearman, Maybury, Kenton, Kishishev and James Chambers (i'm also fairly sure N'Gotty turned out at RB a few times too). Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesFan100 Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 I swear it was Nils Eric Johannson, or did he leave the previous season? Always thought he was decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basingstoke Fox Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 As shit as it seems it was still better than at least 3 teams in that division at the time & probably better than about 6 to 10 if managed well. Still, relegation was a good thing IMO I agreed until we let Pearson go the first time round and brought in Sousa. Quite literally undid all our good work over those two years having made the playoffs and held us back because of it. Big shame IMO, hopefully we can still make a real go of it this season.

Petchy Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 How did relegation hold us back a year? We would have still just continued buying crap upon crap whereas after relegation we really took a complete evaluation of everything. In came a 'lesser known' manager who actually had a plan, unlike those before him. That season definitely made us more organised than we had been in around 5 years prior.

At least people knew who 'Mad Dog' and Ollie were before him. We definitely wouldn't. Relegation helped us, a lot. If you can't see that there's nothing I can say to convince you.

Maybe we would have apointed Pearson and he'd have done what he ended up doing anyway. Who's to say we wouldn't have done better the next season because we'd have appointed a better manager (I seem to remember strong rumours we would have let Ollie go anyway). ? This idea that 1) we're in a much better position now and 2) that we are in that position because we got relegated has little evidence to support it, it's just one theory based on little.

I always liken it to going on a journey and you have two route options, you pick one and end up in a traffic jam and wished you'd gone the other way assuming it would be jam free, without duplicating the journey with two identical cars travelling at broadly similar appropriate speeds you'll never know. Like you say we have no idea how things might have evolved, for all we know Mandaric may have sold out earlier and as for second guessing how different managers in different different leagues in different seasons would go, totally impossible. The only tangible thing we achieved was being hailed Tier 3 Champions not that great a bragging right and the price we paid was to lose our 1 of 9 status. I know which one I'd prefer to have.
