    It was pretty well documented we were in for Marcus Edwards before he went to Burnley. Of course we can’t know for certain but Fabrizio Romano , Sky and others all said so. And Burnley themselves said so as well.

    Good day for the Doom-mongers and the negative club. Just another prep game for the play offs. Same Monday. Big games coming up. If we get Bristol City which I hope we do let’s see what they like when the dynamics with our team selection is different. So excited for play offs!!!!

    Im not seeing anybody doom mongering (although I’ve blocked a few). Most seem pleased with the effort after 85 with 10 men

    People see a situation and make stuff up - usually to cast the club in a poor light for some reason.

    Can you not appeal against red cards anymore?

    Yes you can. Not sure we will judging by Reggie's comments about it being "not that much of a foul"

    by respected journalists.

    stop being argumentative and difficult. It’s as annoying as the people overly negative

    I've just walked in and taken a look.

    Same old cut & paste moans about players we should've signed, players we shouldn't have signed and loads of 'I told you so and took absolute pelters'.

    Have fun everyone, nothing new to see here <doh>

    I'll argue what the **** I like son. You have your opinions, I have mine. If you are using social media as "proof" that we tried and failed to sign a winger then I think you need to log off for the day and go do something else.

    Was the lad at Leicester too macateer I think and the cheeky Adingra as part of the Watson deal question too

    Literally all that’s been said is not signing a winger in January has meant we’ve ended up having to play Watson. There’s nothing else happening and anybody pretending there is are the ones trying to create arguments, not the other way round

    Glad I’m not on twitter anyone coz going by Facebook so many want RLB gone.


    Not much anyone could have done with red card after 7 mins

    Throw KLD a few quid and that could easily be the case. Look at the red carpet rolled out when the Saudis were due in town

    Bob actually said the opposite - that we’d agreed NOT to play him :D

    people will say anything to suit their narrative at the time

    Wasn’t that long ago we went down to ten against boro and our arses fell out, was zero signs of that today if we don’t manage to go up it won’t be for lack of effort, banging the drum and probably boring the life out of some of you but we just need to pull together, **** whoever we get in the play offs no reason to fear anyone at this level

    My overall thoughts of today:

    • delighted with the effort in all.
    • Think the red card was obviously extremely harsh but in a way was a blessing as these games really don’t matter and it gave us experience playing with 10
    • Thought Dan Neil was excellent considering he was totally out of possession
    • Mepham and Mayenda our men of the match
    • Patto looks much better now
    • Watson was a disgrace and I really wish Mundle was more certain for the playoffs
    • Delighted it looks like Bristol City in the playoffs as I really don’t fancy Coventry or Boro

    Why on earth would we want rlb gone? We are 4th and guaranteed play offs
