dllu Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Brighton in the Champions League! Was Hanger plagued by injuries a lot (doesn't look like it with the number of games he played)? Seems way too early, especially for a defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major injuries, the only thing I can think of is the fact that (YP29d) came in and immediately took his place in the team and so he decided to retire.

Yea we went through a run of no wins in eight as well as one win from seven which really hurt our total, I don't mind staying in League Two though, I don't want us to be too much of a yo-yo club as we clearly aren't ready to make the step up! 7 hours ago, dllu said: Solid season as newly relegated, which is always tricky.

Now we have to get our reputation up so we won't be predicted 24th in the league any more! 7 hours ago, deltablue said: Shame you couldn't bounce back up. Maybe the great Makoto is mortal after all.
