All together now, "Andy Morrell, Andy Morrell, Andy Morell, Andy Morrell" (repeat with big smile)
The lad is great, clever striker who grafts and grafts and then grafts some more.
Oddly, the win yesterday could be a mixed blessing as I fancied Yeovil in the play offs not Oldham who we have got now - still, regardless of whether we go up, we've been magnificant - easily the best team in the division by a country mile if you take away the first 2 months of the season - We've hammered Scunny and Bristol C, beat them both pretty easily at their grounds and 83 points is a huge total for the third place team. To finish above Forest is another massive achievement by Simon Grayson. Had we not needed time to gel we would have got about 95 points.
http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=148915&highlight=Simon+Grayson - this shows where we were, not 18 months ago and how far we've come in that time. The bloke deserves a medal for what he's done. OK, we've had a bit of investment but players like Jacko, Evatt, Hoolahan, Williams, Morrell, Gorkss and many others have been clever, canny signings - He never buys who the fans pick out, always seems to find some gem in the reserves of other teams that noone has heard of, people have written off or has been forgotten, pick em up for nothing and reignite their careers. His knowledge of the game for such a young manager is immense. This is
his team as well - Only Keith Southern, Keigan Parker and Coidy (who never plays anyway) are left from when he took over 18 months ago.
Quite how Evatt, Morrell, Barker and Foxy havn't got in the PFA team of the year is a mystery - We are the best team in our division (certainly according to an awful lot of away fans who come to chez Bloomfield) and we had only one player
I said at the beginning of the season that tenth or above would be progress so to achieve a points total like we have and finish third is special.
All Hail!
The future's bright, the future's
