BSAD: If we wanted success prior to Thursday’s announcement, then we want it so badly now. Not that failure to reach and win the playoffs would colour Graham Taylor’s twenty-five years of management in any way. Even disregarding past miracles, he has, as he’s said, achieved his stated aim of establishing us as a top thirty club. Merely that it wouldn’t feel quite right if it all ended with a whimper rather than a bang.
