My recollection is patchy

We lost to Birmingham 1-0 at home and I think at the time, that felt like the end of a play off push.
I think we were just about in contention until the final two games, when we took loads to Barnsley which set us up for the final day. I guess Burnley must not have won their game that day, and we snuck in with the late Malky header against Stockport to get in on GD?

I think at the time we'd been so s**t for so long that the POs were incredibly exciting. We had a solid season but don't remember our form after Dec being anything other that patchy.

Other promotions and PO season in 14/15 we had far better teams.

- Although arguably we are currently playing the best of any of the top 6 sides (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 16, 11:19:12
