we had a strong mentality in the last 2 seasons in that league

I think that was the little spoken about influence of signing John Terry. He'd have reversed the dressing room from Santa video clown show to professional and focused. One of many pivotal decisions.

Games I remember......

Rotherham (h)  3-0 Our first win in such a long time it felt like a cup win and Rudy Gestede looked like a striker. Blues fans on Moor St platform after bravely trying to show their colours whilst surrounded by Villa.

1-0 Wigan. The worst game in history settled by a wonder goal stunner from Grealish in the last minute.

4-2 Norwich,.Hourihane hat trick

The game at Blues where they threw claret and blue clappers at our players.

4-1  vs Wolves and 3 straight home wins vs Blues
The final vs Fulham, a great day until actual kick off.

Being outplayed by Albion at home but beating them in the playoffs.

Derby at Wembley. Couldn't get a ticket for that one so telly had to suffice.

I generally enjoyed it, even the first year it was nice to win lots of games again even though we lost a few few. The following year we still won 24 games despite blowing it at Wembley.
It was fun but I never ever imagined five years on we would be where we are now. Thank you, Fulham x 2 and thank you Mr Emery.

That last minute penalty at Reading to give us our first away win in forever.
