Think you mean season before, 89/90, finished 7th, should have finished third but for last defeats in N Lomdon, greatest season ever, managed to get to every game that season, home and away. Above is the following season, went with lots of optimism but that run nearly killed us, though Bob Higgins (remember him?) called it right at the start and said we would struggle.
Nicholl was a sound guy but had to go in the end, lucky we got Branfoot after!
