    Roberts has more assists than anyone else in our side apparently! (I couldn’t believe it either!!!!)

    His first touch and skill is as good as Le Fee, without a doubt. Everything else he does is as good as me!! And I’m nearly 50

    There’s only so much you can ignore. Mint 2024 this season, average 2025 this season. Performances slowly getting worse every month till now.

    When a manager says it’s time for playoff mode and that he will start a strong team to ensure it and then go and put a performance in like that against a side battling for relegation. Add that on top of everything I said above about the performances getting worse.

    it gives me nothing but worry. I get pelters for backing the club nigh on all the time. But to me I can’t find any excuses for it now

    Well, that was riveting!!

    Can’t wait for RLBs post match predictable interview. I’m increasingly thinking the bloke has been found out, and is utterly out of his depth.

    There is absolutely no way we will be in the PL next season. We’re making awful teams look like Brasil!!

    This place turns into RTG far too quickly for me. Time to bow out for a while

    The positives are that we came out of the game unscathed and got match fitness minutes into some of the lads. It looks to me that we are just going through the motions in the last few games, keeping players fit and avoiding injuries.

    I'll be taking a rare trip to the land of the Prince Bishops next week and will be with my brother for the last league game of the season and hoping that us fans give the team a good send off for the playoff games.

    First of all, what you're saying is perfectly reasonable and logical.

    But, regarding flicking switches, I'll just say this.

    Millwall flicked their 'on switch' and are suddenly joint sixth.

    Sheff Utd flicked their 'off switch' and went from top to playoffs.

    Coventry flicked their switch on then off and may have blown their chances.

    Boro flicked their switch on and off that many times their mam said she'd give them a clout if they didn't stop clarting about.

    It might all just click mate, we have the players so who the hell knows.

    Why do people seem to give people grief for not being happy about a result or performance. I understand for some who are never not negative but one unhappy comment which is justified and people start giving people **** for it

    Too many keep saying that mate, just keep posting ...

    ... we have a playoff semi-final in the next two games.

    Any of us would've jumped at that in August.

    Just the way it is on here. It's great, but there were some who literally will never say we played ****, ever and then say everyone is negative. Well aye because we indeed played ****.

    Anyway. Games done. Hope the fans have a safe and swift journey home after watching that disgrace of a 90..

    Agree Smug, but the players haven’t been playing for weeks, any the manager is NOT displaying and signs that he knows what he’s doing.

    I think the problem most have is that a lot fail to post when we win or play well. Only come on here to bitch and moan. When there’s a positive, it’s like their internet breaks! I don’t mind people having negativity. But when it’s constantly negative, it grinds on me
