| 2025 as a Town fan 23:11 - Dec 30 with 710 views | ashtonscoffeecup |
Have been reflecting on this year as a Town fan this evening. in short i have concluded that on the whole it’s been very average, in terms of getting relegated with little fight, a rather strange approach to transfers, then not exactly playing particularly well for large parts of this season.
probably seeing the home win vs norwich as the overall positive.
that was until last night happened. i have to say i tend to remain neither too high/low and just support regardless, that said after what i saw last night i am incredibly excited for 2026!
i thought we were outstanding, i might even go as far to say the best i have seen us play under McKenna. we didn’t just dictate and dominate, we did it with absolute purpose.
to see this team play that way was a joy. to see Burns back and scoring was emotional.
i had been questioning if this team could go on a run and over throw Boro, im now of the thinking that we actually catch Coventry. (with the correct recruitment early in Jan of course)
here’s to 2026 and what it may bring.

Fingers crossed. That was definitely our best performance of the season and potentially a real statement to the rest of the division. Now we just have to go on a run which we haven't managed yet this season, but I'm confident. |  | | |

2025 has definitely got better as it’s gone on as a Town fan. Relegation became a sad reality quite early in the year for me as Wolves started to pick up points and pull away from the bottom three. The new season started quite slowly despite being pre-season favourites to go up.
Even after a great performance like last night, I don’t allow myself to get too excited as past experience suggests that there will be a poor performance and/or result just around the corner so I would say I’m cautiously optimistic as we end the year.
Thrashing the Blades, finally beating the scum and the win last night are definitely high points but the losses to Charlton and Oxford were the lows. |  |

the lows far out weigh the highs for me. but something about last night felt different, and it’s ignited something within me, that could be a silly move and a loss to Oxford drags me back to reality! but i don’t see that happening now. | | | |

If we can put the teams that set up to frustrate us to the sword too then I'll start to believe too, bring on the mighty Oxford. |  |

facing a lampard team that are flying probably really helped us, because he’s never going to set up to frustrate, just isn’t in his nature.
i’m hoping to see Mckenna really push us on now, and as you say, we turn over teams that don’t really want to play football. | | | |

The game against Coventry was the first full game to show what this team is capable of. The fact that we played like that without Hirst and Davis is even more significant. Let's hope after a long and very frustrating year , that last game posts the way forward for the team and we can maintain that level until the end of the season. If we do , I am very confident of promotion. |  | | |

It’s been a strange year.
On the downside, watching us falling apart after last Christmas was not good. It wasn’t being outclassed, it was the manner of it. We looked bereft of any fight and every game seemed to take the same pattern. There was no point to it.
Secondly, the disconnect between some so called supporters and the players/management to the point of hatred in some instances. Mainly due to what was allegedly paid for them v expectation of performance. The odd thing was that support for the players held pretty well while we were in the Premier League. Oh well.
On the upside, beating Norwich for the first time in years was a real monkey off the back. I’ve seen some extraordinary goals this season too. The other night’s and the Philogene goal v SW were great examples and they’re not even the best. Burns’ goal was the highlight for me. He deserved and clearly enjoyed that moment.
I have also enjoyed watching the club grow. Activities off the pitch, acquisition of players and a feeling that even if the team isn’t as strong as I’d like, we are going forwards. Trends and perspectives are important to me and however deluded I am it’s how I see it. It never felt that way under Evans where I feared for the very existence of the club.
