END OF SEASON 16 - 22/23 We hit poor form going out to Lincoln Utd in the FA Trophy, then losing 2-5
to Fisher in the leaguewith 9 men.
We then crashed out in the Setanta Shield to Cambridge. A poor three match run.
That took us into the new year where we kicked off with a 1-0 win over Grays... but then lost the next two.
Bedford turned it around with 10 matches unbeaten (7 wins) which put us way back in the title hunt and briefly at the top. Mostly the top 5 would be seperated by two points and with one blip, you could go from 1st down to 5th. It was stupidly close.
A blip is what happened as we lost two games on the trot (including to promotion rivals Cambridge).
We regained form with three wins... then a loss against other promotion rival Yeovil. Talk about fixture congestion though... cue screenshot.
That practically gifted the title to Yeovil and we were now fighting for 2nd with Kidderminster.
We pick up 4 points from last three which gets us third in the league. An unexpected result but gutting. Can we win second playoff in two years?
Doncaster 2-3 Bedford
Bedford 2-3 Doncaster
It goes to extra time.... step up Lovegrove... HITS FOUR IN EXTRA TIME!!! Sends us flying to the Britannia Stadium to face the best defence in the league... Kidderminster.
0-2 FT
Gutting to come so close to league football... the board love me though. And I've finally got them out of the red and well into the green. I also sell Atu for 200k somehow to Nuneaton. He didn't play many games for us due to the amazing Roberts being amazing in left midfield lol. Not bad for a freebie.
I've gone a bit crazy in preseason and we've signed more players than we need but we have such a good deep squad now, it's great. I think about nine players are L2 quality (three are strikers), with some more being future L2 quality or L1 in some cases.
