He might just be my favourite midfielder post premier league years despite it only being a 2 year loan. He’s in a good position to really grow now, will be playing in the premier league somehow within the next two seasons for sure.
Amazing to think a team with Cullen, Aribo, Beilik, Bauer, Phillips, Taylor and Grant (half a season) need play offs to go up from L1. So glad they did though. What a day!
Keeping Grant or replacing him with a goalscorer would likely have seen us go up automatically, we weren’t far off in the end.
The younger players on that list also improved as the season went on.
We only dropped 11 points after Grant left. What stopped us going up automatically was our form in September/October when we had our annual injury crisis.

There’s no doubt we’d have been even stronger had Grant stayed, 4 more of those 11 points would have been enough.
Watching him against Watford. Criminal he was never given a proper go in the Prem - fantastic player. Absolutely everywhere picking out passes and making tackles. Reads the game so well.

With Grant and Taylor up top that season
Burnley look fantastic. Get a striker in and they’ll take some stopping.
i mean im pleased for Josh and of course for Ian. Just felt if we stayed up we could of bought Cullen. Oh no wait we had no money did we.. oh well.
Oh to have that man back in our team
