I'll rate this season a C, assuming GCSE style that a "C" is a pass, then yep we've scraped it simply by staying up.

Continuing on the exam style analogy, I'd say we got an A on paper 1, a C on paper 2 and then imploded on Paper 3 by achieving a "U" (that's right we basically didn't turn up)

I will agree with NTA and call this season a C. Overall about what would have been expected - 43 points - bar the fact that since January the decline has been spectacular. 

Owner - Can’t score as invisible, doesn’t take money out at least but wants to/needs to sell. Has to happen ASAP.

Manager - first held of season 8, second half 2 = ave of 6

Goalies - Forster 6, flaws but some character to return. McCarthy 3 - some points for first half of season but displays in 2021 simply unacceptable. 

Full backs - KWP 7.5, exactly what a modern full back should be in the PL. Berty 6 - not right for this set up but great player for SFC. Vokins - not played enough for a score, whoever gave him a 4 year deal needs to be put in same stocks in August as whoever gave Long his new contract and pelted with rotten apples marinaded in out of date Strongbow by the fans. Valery - professional footballer - really? Bowyer soon sussed him out at Birmingham. Took him 24 hours unlike the dopey yokels in SFC.

CBs - Vesty 5.5 - excellent first half, back to his rotten standards latterly. Beds 4 - sympathy with being played at RB, one of RH’s crack pipe moments, but dire since then. Salisu 6 - build the defence around him. Pace, power, reads the game well. Long adjustment period but may be worth it. Jack 6 - versatile, good on the ball but always a big lapse in focus. At least communicates on the pitch.

CM - Romeu 7 - missed him badly after Leeds. JWP 7 - phenomenal fitness, great fks but needs a lot of work as skipper. Has to issue some bollockings when standards drop. Stu 7.5 - POTS, either him or KWP. Great engine, runs with the ball and does communicate as well. Smallbone - nasty injury, too small a sample of games. Diallo 5 - not sure what he is. Good engine, average passing and composure, bit lightweight. Could be a decent box to box MC if he bulks up over the summer. But would need to be 3-5-2 system to fit with the others.

Wingers - Theo 5.5, contributed well early on but limited since injury. Redmond 1 - gets a point for the Bournemouth game. We all know the shortcomings from match threads but his worst season by a distance. Bowyer might get him going on loan at St Andrew’s next year. Djenjepo - 5, some good defensive winger roles at Burnley etc, but invisible as season went on. Another to sell. Tella 6.5 - bright spot. Needs to work on end product but something to work with.

Strikers - Danny 7, missed a lot of games but very, very good finisher still. Che 6.5, 9 goals not a bad return, but needs better conversion on some of the easier chances (not all). Ings is not the same player if Che isn’t there though. Long 0 - added nothing. A rotten apple in the stocks for whoever approved that extension.

Whole squad needs more power, pace and character/experience. Shame Delaney rumour not true as that’s the type of player needed, loan some of the others out.

GCSE's are not graded by letter anymore. They are graded on a numerical scale of 1 (worst) to 9 (best).

Even the education system is mocking the 9-0's 🙄
