I’m just as gutted as any other fan after last nights result. It’s going to take a few days to shake off the huge disappointment. However we have to dust ourselves off and go again (as an ex Oxford manager would say). Let’s be honest we’ve had a very good season which has far exceeded the vast majority of fans expectations.
Lower league fans are a resilient lot, it can’t be success, success, success. The hard painful times will make the good times even sweeter, and the good times will return.
This has been a unique season, as will next season. It’s possible that some historical lower league clubs will not survive. The most important thing now is that this great club survives the economic impact of Covid.
That probably means players will be sold, (eg Dickie and Brannigan), disappointing yes, but that is the reality and the club must make sure it recruits and invests wisely whilst not putting the club at risk.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we’re competitive next season, pushing for a playoff spot. A lot of other clubs will be letting players go, readjusting, and desperately trying to remain solvent.
