I don’t think saying relegation wasn’t a foregone conclusion is pretending we weren’t in a bad position. Dean has come out and said he could do nothing, yet Torquay may save themselves from what was a worse position.
Accepting certain failure from such a position is unacceptable. We may not have survived with Nelson or without the new player influx, but Dean’s defeatist attitude of we never had a chance is as false as what you’re describing.
