GrahamC Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 When this season ends on Saturday it will see us “accomplish” something that we haven’t done in any of the following seasons since the 2003/4 one. I’ll leave it a few hours before revealing the answer, but would be interested to see if any others have noticed it. Pretty sure this fact will subsequently be quoted by the local media… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hmm…the 2003/4 season was the one where we had Wilson in charge and lost to Brighton isn’t it? My guess here is it relates to the number of home grown/under 23 players played? If I’m right on my seasons we had Burnell, Hill, Amankwaah, Riberio, Brown etc that year? Certainly we conceded far more and finished higher so I’m going down a non “success” route! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we signed Tony Rougier at the back end of the season but it was contract cancelled as opposed to loan. However, I’m unsure if Anthony Rougier came in on the same basis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good guess but unfortunately we used no loan players in just one season in that range (2018/19) as far as I can see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, this season is unique in that regard back until at least 1996 (I haven’t checked prior to that). 36 minutes ago, FForbes said: A very good guess but unfortunately we used no loan players in just one season in that range (2018/19) as far as I can see.

GrahamC Posted May 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 9 hours ago, SBB said: First season without using any loans since at least 1996 Sorry, my previous answer was a bit rushed & possibly misleading. This is the first season since 2003/4 when we haven’t fielded a loan player in at least 1 game. The 1996 reference was that prior to 03/04, we did so in every season back to then, I haven’t checked when the next season that we didn’t do so was, prior to that. The guesses about going a whole season without a penalty at home raise a very good point, but I have absolutely no idea of the last time that happened. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
