The disappointment I feel is not for me ,but for the players.
they become City legends in joining the other 5 squads that have won promotion for ECFC. But they were so close to joining the only one City team that has won a league title. They would have been spoken of by City fans as 'the title winning side of 2021-22' the way we become misty eyed about the 89-90 team.
And for all the players they've been through the mill - either academy graduates or signings who have been relegated, released , rejected. How great it would be to show the medal for winning League Two, rather than 'we were promoted but missed the title on goal difference'. Their standing in the game is now so much boosted by this achievement, but it would have been more enhanced by getting just that one extra point. So nice ,for example if Diabate's Mum is asked locally to her 'how is your lad getting on?' to say 'he's just won the League Two title'.
