Yes, most people did when this place was down for a few days.

We've fucked all our big games since Dodds came in so I wouldn't worry about it. Our home game v Wrexham was a classic six pointer and we froze, obviously we got done 4-0 at home v Charlton, and we blew it away to Orient. Well I didn't want to be facing Lu'un next season either (although...

I'm pretty much binning off our chances. Charlton have done the double over us already this season, one game of which was an absolute smacking (4-0), and whilst I don't expect things to be that bad again, Mike Dodds has seemingly sapped all the attacking flair out of us. Whereas Charlton have...

I think Posh had a long run of their best players being injured when they couldn’t buy a win, and were actually flirting with dropping into the relegation zone at one point.

Can’t come as too much of a surprise, but Calderon has been shitcanned by Brovers: https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/footballing-operation-review-concluded

It’s obviously waaaaaaay too early to be doing predictions, but I think there’s plenty of strong contenders for the top half of the table. Bolton - need a big clearout, but have strong resources and now a decent manager Barnsley - jury is out big time on the appointment of Hourihane as head...

Ha! You may have us to blame for the reluctance towards 3 at the back - he tried it with us, having signed players who couldn’t make it work (Richard Keogh being the most obvious offender) and everyone hated it and pointed how shit it was - and after a bad run (and a revitalising January window)...

…and whilst I’m throwing tantrums that we drew Charlton, I don’t mean to imply that Orient would have been an easy option at all, we’re well out of form whoever we might have landed, and I have no faith we could beat any top team over two legs. Right now we are lacking identity and spirit, and...

Not sure what you mean with the egg on face thing. It’s all very “ifs buts and maybes” being touted on our forum, but if you mean that he made the wrong choice leaving us, the rumour mill has it that he was pushed rather than jumped. None of the supposed ITKs will truly front up and tell...

Well, shite end to the season but I can’t say I’m surprised. We weren’t going to win the playoffs anyway, so I suppose at least the fact we drew the short straw with Charlton gets our elimination out of the way.

1-0 up at HT. Stockport looking like the home side and being far more attacking than we are. Our goal was pretty much against the run of play. Anyway, they're still very much in this, it's really hard to play as defensively as we have been for the full 90, one slip can lead to a goal - so no...

Looks like we’re treating this as a dead rubber and resting players. I kind of get it, but the manager also said our aim is to get back some confidence and momentum after losing the last two…in which case you’d hope to play your best side, no? Oh well. Probably a moot point, we’re fucked...

I have to be predictable and say that Brum were probably the best side - even if Charlton smashed us the hardest. Funnily enough I find it really hard to say who was worst, there just wasn't anyone who stood out as truly pathetic cannon fodder, the way that say, Carlisle or FGR did in previous...

Well, late posting this having been overcome by apathy. The only games that anything major rests on are: Hudds v Orient Reading v Barnsleh Since the last playoff spot is still up for grabs. My only hope for tomorrow is that we can somehow work it out so we are not playing Charlton in the...

No surprise to anyone but Crawley and the Gas officially gone now. I’m sure Brovers will be back in the heady heights of the third tier before long, Crawley is a bit more of a question mark.

Ha. We were Argyle’s bogey team for ages until Schumacher went there, hopefully that continues. If Hull come down, perhaps not one to get super excited about, but we haven’t played them since the mid-90s in the basement, so woo, I guess? We have fuck all form or momentum going into the...

Congratulations Wxm, we weren’t strong enough to continue our good form of the first half of the season, the team that keeps up the points week in week out reaps the rewards, so it is what it is. Everyone secretly dreams of being the L1 Walsall anyway, right? Right? :ffs:

I was wondering why you looked so cagey and counter-attacking early doors when you had to win today for your season not to be over, but fair enough Wellens obviously got the tactics right. We are just way too negative and can’t score any more, so once the opposition is 1-0 up then that’s it...

That’s a pretty big if, though?
