             P    W    D    L   PPG   44games 
Ricketts    22  55%  32%  14%  1.95   86pts  2nd
Barrow       9  44%  11%  44%  1.44   64pts  10th
Hughes      13  62%   8%  31%  1.92   85pts  3rd
We all knew it, but it's only that four-game losing streak under Barrow that's cost us a crack at the title, and is likely to give us an away tie in the play-offs.
Irrelevant! Every team will have had a bad spell that they could pin their failure to gain promotion on, that’s football!

We’ve blown promotion by simply not being good enough. The reasons why are well documented.

I will acknowledge that the barrow appointment and the circus around it has contributed.
