Beating Man United at Old Trafford, and proving all the critics
wrong who tipped us for a 'relegation dogfight', and said
Glenn Roeder would never make it as our manager.

I think the highlight must be the 1-0 win against Man United at Old
Trafford, although the signings of Repka, James and Seb have been
fantastic. All in all a good season Glenn. A couple more
Schemmel's in the squad and we'll do fine.

Biggest highlight for me has got to be the fact that all my mates
were wrong (once again) about us going down and the appointment of
Glenn. He has had a great first season and hopefully we can
finish above Spurs were we belong. Shame Spurs fans won't admit
it and still think they are one good player away from the
title!

It's got to have been the brilliant 1-0 win over Man United at
Old Trafford. Considering our erratic away form this season, to go
there and get a result and see players like Keane trying to kick
lumps out of Joey Cole out of frustration was great! The other
major highlight for me has been to hear the massive noise we now
make at home games. The extra capacity has meant that
'Bubbles' drowns out the opposition every time!
David Sanders, Stourdbridge
The performances of Sebastian Schemmel. I remember at the time that
Harry left I posted a message on a West Ham forum singing Sebs
praises. I was quickly shouted down. I think this season has proved
me right!

I think that Glenn's greatest achievement over the past
campaign was just the fact that he proved all of his critics wrong
and silenced them for the majority of the season. He had no backing
from football pundits all over England who branded him an OBE (out
before Easter!). Thinking back over the past year, I think
Glenn's greatest achievement on the pitch is the memorable
1-0 win over Manchester United in their own backyard! Glenn has had
an excellent year and I hope he remains at the helm for a very long
time!

Highlight of the Year? That for me is easy - Glenn signing a well
deserved long-term contract. Next is Jermain's emergence as a
top Premiership striker!
Dan Nye, York
The emergence of Jermain Defoe and the performances of Schemmel. We
now have a potential 20 goals a season player and an excellent
attacking full-back who's also got plenty of heart.

The highlight of the season for me was the game at Stamford Bridge
in the FA Cup. Following the embarrassing defeat the previous
Sunday, I was delighted with the performance from the players, the
manager and the supporters. The team showed the commitment that had
been severely lacking in the previous match and with the Chelsea
fans expecting another easy game, it was the Irons fans who once
again showed what true support is all about and we were justly
rewarded for another massive turn-out with an equaliser from
Freddie Kanoute in the last five minutes of the match. Great day
out all round! I'm confident that we are going to win something
under Glenn Roeder, and soon! Good luck to him.

The highlight for me has been the air of professionalism that Glenn
has brought to the club. We seem to have realised that tactics win
games and that is something I have really been impressed with. The
signing of David James was superb and he has been a terrific
performer for the Irons as has Seb Schemmel. I'm very excited
about next year - as always - but this time I think we
may actually have reason for optimisim.

The biggest highlight of the season for me is how professional
Glenn and the team were after those two big defeats away from home
at Everton and Blackburn. They couldn't have responded in any
better fashion. Glenn never lost his head and in my opinion has
done a great job this season. Hopefully now Glenn has the fans'
full backing, because he and the team deserve it.
