Yep. I think we all got a bit carried away with the post September lift in form, myself included. That coupled with the takeover meant a playoff finish looked eminently achievable.
I do wonder if maybe we would have been better served convincing Salford to hold off on selling Tom Walker another week until the takeover was completed (not that he's exactly helping Fylde's situation) and got Rodney back on loan till the end of the season but hindsight is twenty twenty. I do wonder if a few of our squad have seen the writing on the wall with their futures and just thought: "sod it we're effectively safe and won't be here next season so why over exert ourselves?"
