    We might have lost but we must be easily the best in the league at sideways passing.

    Ending the season like a fart trailing off affects what we can do in the close season. Our decent reputation has been torpedoed in the last six months.

    Starting at home with a back five against f*cking Millwall and then playing Dack up front.

    We deserved that result.

    Couldn't agree more. Sackless. Poor from Dodds today

    Roll on the summer where mistakes can be put right - they better be put right

    The football has been so boring this season and we need a new manager to come give us that spark

    Form over the last 30 games, would have us 18th - with only 28 scored in that time. Not good enough.

    Pleased that is over tbh. Genuinely awful watch.

    As others have said, our form has been nothing short of desperate. We have gone from being one of the most exciting teams in the league last season, who Sky couldnt get enough of, to a drab, dull and ponderous side who dont threaten much at all. It is really tough to watch. I know where I think the season was ruined but it has been done to death. What is clear now, to me anyway, is unless we find a serious head coach with significant know how, nous, and talent then this group of players will continue to drift. Rudderless. I think some of the lads brought in this last season have been miles off the level needed, and without a coach to steer them properly about in game stuff they are lost. They can be individually ok but no idea on being part of a team.

    Dodds has really not helped himself imo. That sort of formation in a game like this, not for me. Naieve I think as to what was required and the opportunities Milwall would offer. I am beginning to wonder if he has what it takes to be here next season.

    This, not even annoyed just pure empathy and almost expected it, losing 0-1 to the only shot on target from your ex player is Sunderland as ****

    Team selections all season have been way off kilter, we need a coach badly, still the nucleus of a decent team there imo.,but the short comings are so glaringly obvious and need addressing.

    Shows what I know FFS. At least this should be the end of 'does Dodds deserve the job' comments/rumours.

    The pair need to go, BUT, I have a feeling Dodd's will be staying if KS is still here.
    And to all you red and white tinted glasses wearers, we are a soft touch, we have no creation, no hunger to win, and even less bottle.
    BUT defend KS and his hangers on all you like, we are ****e, a couple of draws and a very rare win was papering over the cracks.
    He aint what you think he is.

    Poor performance obviously, can't say I'm too bothered. Everything will be different by the time next season gets going.

    Think we switched to 4 at the back and conceded shortly after?

    ****ing lifting that. Didn't lay a glove on them which was very disappointing. Doddy isn't a head coach. Nice fella and all that but not the main man.
