: Hello everyone to the Dragon's Lair! I'm Grwn Glyndwr and I'm here with everyone's favorite local hooligan, the Dragontamer!

:(Cheesy sound effect of what might be a dragon roaring if you really wanted to believe it was)

: What a marvelous end to the season! That Yank really is the greatest, and our local lads are going to be playing in the Championship next year. Let's take a look back at all the amazing numbers they put up this season, and see what made our Dragons so great!

: RAWR! I agree, Grwn, and where better to start than this teams offense!



: They had a run of over twenty games in a row where they scored in league play, and set fire to League One in their first year back!





: And so many of those from set pieces, lil' Justin Bailey couldn't stop himself from leading the league in assists the number of corners that found their way into the back of the net!



: And they did it all without much by way of help from the refs, unlike those [bleep]s at Sunderland, who were given a whopping eight penalties.

: Well, the Black Cats were paying those refs in pussy, if you know what I mean.

: Uh, no. I don't. Was that an attempt at a pun?

: Yeah. Erm. Moving on.



: It's not like their defense wasn't a peach either, fifth best in the league.

: And that despite all of Coach Brown's cavilling across the course of the season!





: They still didn't do that great on defending set pieces though.

: Yep, that sure was one of the gaps in their scales. Still, they had a whopping +33 goal differential, makes you wonder just how well they can do next year in the Championship, am I right?




: Just look at how little they spent on the team, though, they were 21st in the league in wages!

: And it was a sad day to see young Michael Upson traded downriver to those Swansea bastards, even if it brought back a princely sum.

: Indeed, two million quid isn't anything to sneeze at.

: Besides, who's going to miss him when we've got Billy the Kid-

(A goat noise sound effect interrupts the webcast, making it impossible to hear Grwn's words)

: -for us!



: It wasn't just the Billy Goat show this year, that Australian lad the Coach keeps calling Meteor really came through.



: I know! Fifteen goals and fourteen assists, what a year! But that brings us to last year's player of the year-

: Awww yeah,

: Justin Baaaaaaileeeey.

(poor quality bow-chicka-wow-wow music plays in the background)

: He's amazing.

: Just a tidy little lad.

: He's even shorter than your sis!

: Hey, leave her out of this!

(Slapping can be heard in the background, along with muffled grunts)



: Anyways, I think it's pretty clear that Mujkic and Bailey are the two finalists for League One player of the year this year.

: Oh yeah, no way that anyone else could win. I'd say William Harrison would be right with them-

: Nah, too inconsistent.

: Right, he was boom and bust all season. But no way some Irish ffwl like Paul Crossan tops Bailey or Mujkic.

(Shouting can be heard over the mic pickups of both Grwn and the Dragontamer.)

: Lads, I made Frey Bentos for you, would you like some?

: (Not speaking into the mic) Mum! We're in the middle of a live webcast! Gawrsh!

(scrabbling at the mic button can be heard, then dead air)




We had a pretty great little season, but it wasn't without some problems. We desperately need a better backup goalkeeper. We also need better fullbacks, I'm not sure Smissen, Tench, and Peters are up for the higher level of play we'll be facing. Add in the need for a real striker option behind Harrison, a new centerback if Todd is sold, and Coulson's extremely poor play towards the end of the season, and I think it's unlikely that we don't see some significant changes in the team for next season.

Board voting is over. On question one, a £100k/wk wage budget will be set based upon the majority vote. On question two, we will seek to sell Todd for a price of £5.5m or above. On question three, there will be no individual limit on what we can offer Mujkic. On question four, we're going to start scouting Europe. Onto the offseason!
