Looked leggy from the first whistle. It’s ok, it happens. They’ve put plenty of credit in the bank with a 20 game unbeaten run to salvage what looked like a lost season in January

As said earlier, give me some disappointment now over a crushing final day disappointment that means the manager has to spend all week picking them up for a playoff game
 
I am slightly concerned, however, with how leggy and tired we are starting to look.

We do look mentally and physically drained, which is no surprise, but concerning going into the playoffs

Can’t say they didn’t make the effort. The archer experiment didn’t really work, we look so much better with an actual wide man. They all look tired. Larin tried hard, manning and bree must be exhausted- how fullbacks can sustain a run of games like that is beyond me.

Maybe welly and jelly should have started to give them a rest.

Still unbeaten! COYR let’s turn city over.
 
Did well to get a point out of that in the end. Looked leggy as **** and midfield was non existent for the majority of the match.

In a way it's a shame it happened tonight rather than in the last couple as we could have rested loads tonight. Bit of a worry whether we'll be up to speed on Saturday.
 
Interesting isn't it - shows how far we've come that we're all really disappointed at a (fairly predictable) draw tonight. Credit to the team and staff to taking us to that point after it hadn't looked like we could ever buy a win early season. As others have said, understandably knackered. Can easily see one big (fruitless) push against City on Saturday, then losing limply to Ipswich on Tuesday.

I'm still raging about Millwall Linesman though. Unbelievable.
 
Can't blame the lads for the not trying. Unfortunately we just had to run out of steam and it was inevitable this bogey team managed by wise old Roy would make it extra difficult for us. Also, that crappy lino killed the game when we looked like scoring a winner.
