Tony Twain's "juvenile footballers" made their way into the semifinals of the EFL Cup, but they missed out on progressing to the finals and were unable to top their previous performance in the competition.
Despite their loss, Twain expressed satisfaction at the results his team had attained. He had treated the EFL Cup as nothing more than a training ground to hone the skills of his troop from the start. Being able to progress into the semifinals was already a feat. His players had performed above his expectations.
The FA Cup kicked off after the start of the new year. The team successfully made its way past the first two rounds of the competition. His players performed consistently in the league and were generally ranked between fifth to seventh place.
