I don't think the team was that bad really. The real problem has been lack of quality up front. The only "goal scorer" we've had was Angol who missed most of the first half of the season. If he'd not got injured early on, I think we'd have won more games and survived in L2. Likewise if Gwion hadn't been injured so much.
We've been pretty solid in defence, but sadly lots of goal keeping errors have cost us games, especially since Moore's injury as he was pretty solid beforehand. So many 1-0 losses where we actually played pretty well but "gifted" a win to the opposition with goalie errors.
Not to mention players making stupid decisions like the unnecessary sending offs and buggering up easy shots on goal (Dallas!!).
I'd say we were only one decent striker away from survival. Had the club not lost £95k on the VAT fiasco, Derek could have spent that on a decent loan striker in January rather than having to scramble for whoever was left over who'd come for a pittance!
