Hendrie
Kachloul
Angel

We started that season really well with Hadji looking sharp in midfield, Mellberg looking class and Angel and Vassell a dangerous partnership.

Thank you.

My first away game, many, many thousands of pounds ago!

[Chris Harte]

Were we not already down then?

No. Before kick off we had four games left and had to win them all to have any hope of staying up without having to go through the play-offs (which at the time pitched fourth bottom in Division One against 3rd, 4th and 5th from Division Two).

[OldUser]

Ta Chris, were we down after though?

[Chris Harte]

Ta Chris, were we down after though?

Not straight away. I think we lost at Arsenal the following week, meaning that we needed the play-offs to have any chance of staying up. We followed this on the Monday bank holiday by losing 2-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday, the result that sealed our fate.

Thanks, memory's been playing tricks on me.

PEDANTIC INTERRUPTION:

We could still mathematically have stayed up even then. The result that really sent us down was Oxford beating Leicester that night.
