Conceded 7 goals in 11 games (three of them in the final, of course) won 7, drew two, lost two.

Honestly think it had more to do with their fantastic run than anything we did.
Yeah,they gained something like 37 points from 39 which was ridiculous particularly after coming out of the Anfield derby something like eight points clear and laughing at them, however such were the small margins and Nev was so,so special I truly do think he would have been the difference that year for us.

I think Nex would have been a key factor in the final, as I say. Can't see how he'd have made any difference in the 10 league games he missed tbh. If anyone had an impact, in my view it was Lineker at Oxford. Not his finest hour (and a half!)

Thing is, they were a trophy winning machine throughout the 80's. We did well to keep pace and surpass them for a while. There's no shame.
 
Heard it was Linkers left behind boots ....v Oxford away ?.......that stopped us winning the league?
Did Bobby Mimms do that much harm?
They are our Jinx \devil side TBF ...
Aye, Lineker that evening missed half dozen or so chances that given he scored 40 goals that season should have put a couple away. I've never got over it, I was numb for weeks.
