Difference is Southend acknowledged they needed to change things a bit and went out and used the loan market to bring in someone who had pace, skill and an eye for goal. Every team challenging went out and got someone in to give their squads a boost for the run-in. There was one exception - guess which club that was...

Our rivals' boards have shown ambition, ours just put their heads in the sand, pinned a tail on a donkey and as a result we now find ourselves plunging out of the play-offs in even more spectacular style than previous seasons.

Spot on. Once again OU show a distinct lack of ambition. As nice a guy as Lenagan is he cannot afford promotion, he does a reasonable job of keeping the club going but cannot afford to bankroll a club held to ransom by Firobber Kassam so basically we just have to tick over as a low level club. Any hope of promotion is now gone and next season probably won't be any more promising, indeed could be worse. Unless a person with enough money to either buy the soulless stadium we call home or build another one the future looks awfully bleak."
