Was talking to one of my Leeds mates about this season this morning! Looking at some of the teams in the division that season, would people say it was the hardest league one ever?

16 Oldham Athletic 46 13 13 20 39 57 ?18 52
17 Leyton Orient 46 13 12 21 53 63 ?10 51
18 Exeter City 46 11 18 17 48 60 ?12 51
19 Tranmere Rovers 46 14 9 23 45 72 ?27 51
20 Hartlepool United 46 14 11 21 59 67 ?8 50†
21 Gillingham (R) 46 12 14 20 48 64 ?16 50 Relegation to 2010–11 Football League Two
22 Wycombe Wanderers (R) 46 10 15 21 56 76 ?20 45
23 Southend United (R) 46 10 13 23 51 72 ?21 43
24 Stockport County (R) 46 5 10 31 35 95 ?60 25
Some good sides in the division at the time Norwich, Leeds, Millwall, Swindon, Charlton, Us, Southampton, Brentford, MK Dons, Brighton, Yeovil and a few others! I thought the football we played under Lee Clark was superb, especially with the likes of Pilkington and Roberts tearing up and down the wings! Still can't buve stockports plight looking at them at the bottom of the table either!
Some interesting figures too we got the biggest home wins that season beating Brighton 7-1 and Wycombe 6-0! We also had the highest scoring game along with Norwich 1 vs 7 Colchester! Was a cracking season shame we couldn't get over the line in the end! I think if we'd have got Leeds in the semis instead of millwall we'd have gone on to make the final against Swindon or Charlton!

Oh and at the risk of getting berated by slapps and many more lee clark haters,that kind of sums up how difficult it was to get out of the league under his tenure, notwithstanding the budget because the years that followed saw both sheffield clubs join the division as well as a newly rich brighton heading to a new home. Am not excusing his failure because the hard facts are that he failed, but there are mitigants! |

Am not excusing his failure because the hard facts are that he failed, but there are mitigants! Absolutely! and what is usually forgotten is that we went in to the final day of that season with a chance of automatic promotion albeit a small one but a chance nonetheless. The growing expectation of success within the club, coupled with the bullying defeat at Millwall is IMO what led to several bad moves by LC and the club in trying to get in too many experienced campaigners alongside the smattering of talented (yet niave) youngsters we had at the time. |
