"The thing is they did.Wayne Walters and Danny Leach would and did go through the pain barrier for us with vital headed goals or clearences.Harry Manoe or John Hurlock would never shirk a tackle.George Lidster would give a kick to someone if they went past him.
Those players had the bottle and character and would no way have accepted recent so called efforts."

You mention four great players from our past (John Hurlock would not have got near a good Boro team). out of hundreds . Manoe & Lidster would be very different players in the modern game, or Red Carded every other week. Walters & Leach are better examples
(& are our two most ever Red Carded players!) but they played for more than 10 years & only finished in the top half twice. McLeod & Preddie are probably on par with Walters & Leach, but it takes a balance of players & this squad has that.
We have lost by more than 2 goals on only 3 occasions this season. One was at Taunton, so no lack of fight there. so we have been competitive for the full 90 minutes in 39 out of the 41 games played. That in itself is decent, as is 60+ points.
A good season by a good squad of players.

by the way, don't get me started on the managerial (lack of) qualities of Ed Stein.
