I thought the atmosphere was pretty poor tbh. Not moaning though as can't blame people for not being up for it.

First half thought we looked well off it but much better second.

Ipswich one of the best away supports of the season.

Disagree, the northam/Kingsland corner put in a shift and it was the least the team deserved after Saturday and the effort tonight.

Wow, incredible game. Really should have held out after going ahead. Can't complain at the effort. Ipswich were decent. It's the early season form that killed us.

Clarke coming on made all the difference, he's top quality.

 

[Brinkworth Saint]

So we'll need another trip to Wembley

Oh I suppose I could make another effort. Another long day, stuck in traffic, admiring the architectural splendour of the environs of Wembley. All for watching a white ball go in the net more times for us than the opposition.

Worth all that hassle???

YOU BET IT IS!!!!!!!!!!! I’m up for it!!!!

Still think we should be trying to get 4th place. Only needs us to win and Boro to draw with Wrexham.

Home in second leg is a huge advantage and the home leg being a Saturday lunchtime KO would be ****e.

Fair enough, I'd rather restore the energies of some of our first team. Home support is important but resting some of the squad takes priority for me; we've been looking ropey at times. Whatever happens, in Tonda we trust.

 

[Saint Elsewhere]

Don't feel to deflated after that; always likely to be a tough game.

Working out the how's and why's of autos has been some fun chat but was always really a step too far after our poor start to the season. And I'm pretty sure Tonda already has detailed files when the subject of play offs comes up.

Fair enough, I can't hear the northam when there's a decent away support.

It certainly didn't have that big game feel about it though where large parts of the crowd were up for it.

Team for Preston:
Peretz
Jelert Wood Quarshie Welington
Bragg Charles
Archer Matsuki Edozie
Stewart

We cannot afford to lose Leo, Jander and Bree for the play offs so leave them at home.

 

[Archers Road]

Good game, neither side deserved to lose.

Bit annoying that for the second time in theee days we couldn’t hold a lead with ten minutes to go, but no complaints really.

 

[tomw24]

We're the only team in the top 7 apart from Coventry with very little to play for on Saturday. Being able to rest players before the play offs when our opponents won't be able to is huge IMO. We must rest our key players.

Beach on Saturday

No ****ing way as well still be playing for 3rd or 4th which is important

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Fantastic game. Fair result.

Jander clear MotM. Larin brilliant too. Yet another goal and assist for Manning.

Not really though. More important that we rest key players.

 

[jonny 'hasen' shuttle]

So Middlesborough in the play offs then?! Their not as good as us yes?

 

[Libby]

Disagree. Even aside from being at home in the second leg it's much better to have the home leg as an evening game than a Saturday lunchtime.

Also better for those wanting to go to the away game for it not to be midweek.

Table suggests very similar level. Might not be them yet either.

Obviously very likely it will be but Millwall have form for ****ting the bed on the final day.

 

[garysfc]

Just got back & reading through. Very surprised at some of the negativity here especially after the effort Saturday & how important this game was. Great effort by the lads & shame we let it slip (again) with 10ish mins to go. Thought the ref was pants. Lot of persistent fouling by Ipswich that warranted at least a first half booking or words but nothing. Brilliant play by Larin to snatch the lead. Haven’t really seen their goals as to mistakes or good play. Still a lot to play for Saturday which is just an amazing considering where we were a few months back. UTS.

Yeah lot of moaners.

 

[tomw24]

Sounds like Peretz pulled off another worldie. Being down the other end I knew he'd made the save but wasn't aware of how good a save it was.

Don’t think we should be prioritising what the fans want. Imagine if we lose Harwood-Bellis or Bree, or anyone else, just for the sake of playing away first. Makes no sense to me.

From where I was sat could hear all sides but Ipswich were pretty vocal. Thought it was one of the loudest crowds for a while
