Another way of looking at it is that we were essentially a start up club in the 2013-2014 season with no players and significant debt and only the fans with very little money as owners. We were debt free within 18 months, won the league 2 championship and were seriously challenging for promotion back to the championship in the 2017-2018 season, quite an achievement. But have stalled since albeit whilst remaining in the top half in the playoffs, or nearly in the playoffs, since.
It's not a brilliant 8 year record but it is not awful either.
Yes, its worrying that we have become more average in the past two seasons but I'd be far more worried if the infrastructure was not being sorted out and I repeat, you should be able to enjoy watching your team play win, lose or draw.
Makes a change for you to be pedantic
