Upon reflection what would you give this season? Who were the star pupils and who have to pull their socks up?

For me a solid B- which given our recent season's is welcome.

A season of relative stability and progress but one that offered a real opportunity that we missed.

Great work from Garner, Pickford, KDH, Grealish, Ndiaye and Gueye.

Honourable mention for Keane (supposed to offer cover but put in a shift all season) and, I suppose, O'Brien (contributing while out of position all season)

Dibling and Barry in particular need to focus on recovering and hitting the ground running next pre-season.

I think suspect you will get different answers from different sections of the fanbase. The match-going fans will probably be the most frustrated, I imagine the away-match going fans will probably be the most pleased.

What was the thinking for the NL adopting designated hitter after all these years? (And what was the reaction of the fans?)

Also how is DH looked on in general? Speaking personally as an inexperienced MLB fan I think having every team member required to bat for their team feels more natural than the contrivance of a guy who doesn't field being there just to bat....was it just that pitchers usually aren't much good or was it just it limits their potential pitching endurance?

New version out today? Why have they tinkered with it again? It's really weird and confusing now.

I have decided that i need to go electric. Is there are really good go-to website for reviews and comparison?

At the moment i am just trying to ascertain my needs and my options (It's a bit daunting).

Me back in August "All I want is a boring season I won't be able to remember"

It's mad how this season has unfolded but it's something we'd have taken at the start. I do think this a huge missed opportunity unfortunately. We are basically a Danny Welbeck or an Igor Thiago away from a truly historic season. When you look at the money we spent on players who are not oven ready you do wonder....

Still, can we really lament?
