After 5 games...

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

...if someone told you you'd be promoted in our 5th-to-last game, what your response have been?

An incredible achievement and the sign of a great manager that can turn a team around and make the changes required.

Oh, and in response to my own question, I'd have rolled my eyes and walked off, wouldn't have believed there was any intelligent conversation to be had.

There aren't enough shit GIFs in the world to convey the necessary amount of disbelief.

From that to this. Mindblowing really.

It's a question I keep asking. After September we would have hoped to just reach the playoffs in 6th place.
What we've had is one of, if not the most enjoyable and successful seasons ever. Four games to go, promoted & 9 points clear of second. Only one word U N B E L I E V A B L E.
Never in a million years would I have even dreamt this back in September.

I keep thinking about the wonderful symmetry of not winning any of our first four league games and where we are now. We could lose the last four and it wouldn't matter, we'll probably still win the league, which didn't seem likely after the last minute defeat at Millwall.

That's another stat for Wilder to beat next season

I'dve asked them what the fuck they were smoking.

No question about it, we were absolute dogger until the Millwall game. Although a lot of it had to do with the team not gelling, a lot also had to do with Wilder not removing all of the shit. Which he duly addressed. Even though we lost at Millwall due to a last minute penalty, you could tell the changes were beginning to work.
