    I don't mind players who are leaving starting for us if their attitude is right. Watson on a few occasions today just didn't bother trying when we lost the ball.

    That's just not on.

    Shocking that today. Our season yet again has been ruined by sicknotes and a lack of balls from certain players from wanting promotion enough.

    Sums up a lot of modern football that, slow, dull, safe, cheating and ****e refs. No tempo whatsoever, where’s the press gone. We’re absolutely abysmal with the ball, best sort it out in the next few weeks. Thought Roberts looked sharp mind

    Le Fee twice a 20m transfer, Samed Ligue 1 team of the season last year.

    I'd say fully fit that on paper they are arguably the two best centre mids at the club and thats not a dig at the others its just levels.

    So we got beat from a free kick that should never been given and then denied a possible penalty. Not bothered by the result to be honest as it’s now all about the play offs. More minutes in the tank for Le Fee. Using Mayenda sparingly to keep him fresh. Useful little cameo from Samed who apart from one misplaced pass that I recall thought had a decent game and a chance of a breather for Dan. I personally think it’s coming together nicely

    Proved **** all yet. We’ve had one hell of a deal. Don’t let him play.

    I don't want to single him out but hear me out

    Le Fee came on for me and visibly looked a cut above, impacted the game with some really silky moves.

    Whereas Neil, who won't sign a deal because he's destined for a prem move, allegedly, just doesn't stand out enough for me to warrant the hype.

    I get le Fee is flashier therefore catches the eye and whilst I think Dans a good player I think hes massively over rated, he should be visibly standing out.

    Did you gp today? No positives at all to mention if you did, and as it stands there's no way we're going up.

    Jones looked like a bairn.
    Watson looked like bairn.
    Neither full back were effective in the positions they were played
    Neil’s passing was off kilter.
    Isidor is off form and confidence.
    Le Fee is a superhero.
    Mayenda looked most likely to score.
    I get the thinking around managing fitness levels entirely but we need to get some confidence into some players as much as energy.

    Sheffield United will be in the playoffs and won't win them, just got a sense about their run in and vibe.

    Just want to say. There are some people at the match who are absolutely clueless. A bloke kept shouting play the B team, play 17 year olds at least they’ll run. When challenged he said ‘just bring all the first team on for the last half hour’. That’s why you get mental comments on message boards.

    Seeing where Coventry are and with a game in hand, would it be a good idea to play all our young’uns and reserves against Bristol City.
    Otherwise, it looks like Coventry are favourite for 5th place.
    Mind, if we play as we are doing recently we will lose at Bristol anyway.

    4 useless/friendlies games to play although losing to B City a must next Friday to hopefully stop Coventry getting 5th place, we need that fight that Swansea showed today and we have never done that since the 4th game of the season so what has happened ? rubbish at corners and free kicks too slow getting the ball forward, and with 10 mins to go they start getting forward, 4 on the trot now we have lost to Swansea at home, they never give us an inch and not one mistake we need to play like them in the play offs i said getting Saens or Sargent in during that January window a must, but they will learn the hard way, one up front is no good either.

    No I wasn’t there but watched the game but these final games are literally preparation for the playoffs basically like an end of season pre season. Fair enough you choose to be disappointed but I’m choosing to look at the bigger picture
