Season rating: 7/10. An almost impossible season to gauge. We secured our record number of points and equalled our record number of wins, yet finished in the bottom half and missed out on possibly our best chance to win the FA Cup.
Happy with your manager? Yes. Marco Silva is not infallible and has his flaws, but he is our best manager since Roy Hodgson and he has indicated he wants to remain at Craven Cottage.
If he does, he will expect to be backed – and rightly so. We’re close to real success, but we need bodies in the squad.
Unsung hero: Raul Jimenez. He enjoyed his best season in five years, scoring 14 in all competitions. Yet news of the club extending his contract drew groans from some areas of the fanbase.
A goal return of 21 in 72 games is a fine one for a player who cost just £5.5m, and he still has a significant role to play in a squad that I have already mentioned needs to get deeper.
Player you would most like to sign: We still haven’t replaced Aleksandar Mitrovic, so a striker has to be on the agenda. Everton are the latest club to be linked with Liam Delap of Ipswich, so why wouldn’t we have that conversation with him too? We’re an attractive proposition on and off the field for any young player looking to step up.
Right now, my overriding emotion from the season is: Jealousy. Watching Crystal Palace lift the FA Cup was, perhaps strangely, one of the worst moments I have had as a football fan.
I was convinced it was our year. All the ingredients were there. It was a season for surprise cup winners and the Premier League table was so congested that a really high finish was so realistic for most of the campaign. Instead, we’ve ended up with nothing to show for it. We go again in August.
