Look how far we have come in 5 seasons. Paul Cook running on the pitch looking shall I say like he had just had a big lunch was a low point amongst the empty seats and chants for Bonne.
Nice tribute to Paul Mariner mind.

I remember Cook's entrances very clearly on 11:55 - Aug 26 with 2493 views
Ahhh leave Cooky alone! I used to like his little run out and wave to the crowd.
It didn't work out here but it was a pretty tricky transition to oversee. He brought in many of the players that became instrumental in league success.
I also think the demolition man summer was needed.
We were just wildly inconsistent under Cook.
Think his father passing towards the end also very difficult.
But yes, the speed of travel has been incredible. But Mark Steed set the tone (albeit crassly) on twitter when the takeover was confirmed.
It's still a thrill to see PR full. For those of us there during the darkest of days it was so sad. Sometimes only 12000 or in for a midweek game. (Although I miss leaving the pub at 2.56...😉).

I think when Paul Cook was appointed I was pretty much then just going for the away day out and have a good drink, the game was not important. Now I am in the ground with my half and half scarf at 2-00 pm trying to get photos of the players, can't wait to see Haaland ha
I was not a fan, my dad liked him / found him amusing oddly enough. It was a bit of a laugh or cry scenario.

Cook flopped but at least his appointment gave us a level of belief after Lambert, and he made some good signings that summer. His inability to get a tune out of them wasn't great, but on the flip side it did mean we got McKenna.
2020 / 2021 season was the absolute floor though. 9th in L1. 4-1 at Doncaster. The 2-0 defeat at home to Charlton with 13 year old McGavin and Gibbs in CM. We made them look like PSG. 3-0 defeats at Wimbledon and Northampton, in the space of a week.
Cornell. Nsiala. Harrop. Oli Hawkins. What an absolute clusterfeck that was.

Also think Richardson staying at Wigan, not coming with him didn't help

And to think I did pretty much every away game in those dark times, must be mental.
Me too, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. True enough we sometimes wondered about staying in the pub, rather than going to the match, but some proper grounds, pubs and supporters in those lower league towns. Great away days. I wouldn't change anything that has happened since, but bigger is not always better.

All about the journey innit.
I'd say the last 8 seasons as a Town fan (on balance) have been as good as anyone. You've got to feel the lows to experience the high's. I'd take that journey over someone like Brighton or Everton, ironically clubs we probably aspire to match right now. Let alone a Reading or Stoke.

It didnt help that virtually none of his backroom staff followed him here... poor bloke was on a hiding to nothing tbh. He did well under those circumstances I thought...
