Dynamo boss now looking forward...

LOUGHBOROUGH Dynamo manager Lee Attenborough said the decision to cancel the season was inevitable and it was now a case of focusing on moving forward.

“I am convinced that had the season resumed then we would have been there or thereabouts in and around the top 5. I don’t think it would have been fair to settle anything on a PPG basis - it is too early for that It is a shame, but all we can do is focus on moving forwards.

“Thank you to the club, board, volunteers and fans for their support in what has been difficult and testing times for every club.

“The players have been a credit to me, the club and themselves. Many of the lads have come on leaps and bounds this year on both a personal level but also collectively. I am seeing huge improvements in players games and am excited for what comes next.

“We have found ourselves in second place, only on goal difference to a strong Leek side having faced probably the worst injury crisis I’ve known since becoming a manager. Running on a small squad, at one point we had nine players out injured, but we just kept winning games of football and that’s when togetherness of a good group shines through.

“I want to keep the group of players together who I feel have unfinished business in this division.

“We need to show that what happened in the first 12 games of this season wasn’t simply a ‘good run’ but actually one of a side that can consistently keep up that level of performance. That is the gauntlet i’ll be laying down to the players in the off season.”
