Home to Wigan midweek – got beat 7-2. Remember it well.
FA Cup 3rd round at home to Hereford when the floodlights failed when we were all over them – and beating Halifax away 2-1 when MOTD were there.
The squad list actually had some good names on it but it doesn’t tell the whole story.
A lot of those guys – Green, Partridge, Grimes etc we’re right at the end of their careers and weren’t regulars.
O’Berg was out injured for a large chunk of that season as well from memory and Cammack only came back from Lincoln for the last few weeks of the season.
So, in the round, they were a pretty poor side.
But, they were comfortably better than this lot and a number of those players were in the 82/83 promotion squad.
Their record of 7-9-7 at home is comfortably better than this lot will do and they only finished 2nd bottom on GD.
You need to go back to the mid 70’s to find incompetence on the current scale – and the facts support that.
