Credit to Butler full stop. He has just about delivered the playoffs.
Last season the playoffs was a bit disappointing given our budget relative to the rest of NLN. He and his team rescued that situation by winning the playoffs of course.
Different gravy this season if we are to believe we only have a middling NL budget.
Of course we all have had a moan and groan when we have had a couple of dips in form and when we resort to hoofball but if we step back for a minute the team have massively overeachievd on any realistic expectations for this season.
We might feck up the playoffs of course because it is always a bit of a lottery but we are finishing the season with 14 or 15 players that are competitive at the top end of this league having started the season with barely 11.
So well done to Butler and his gang and of course the players themselves. Not forgetting Michelle and the board. They have done a couple of daft things (the pitch and the love affair with the Internet scammers) but they have driven the club from almost extinction to the doorstep of the EFL.
For me this is the best time to be an Iron fan since Swann first darkened or door.
