Just had a quick look back at our matches against the confirmed play offs teams, few things I’ve noticed that may or may not be factors in those results:

• 4 out the 6 we started with a back 3.
• 5 out the 6 we started without Peretz. (4 Baz / 1 McCarthy)
• 5 out of 6 we started with either Armstrong, Archer or Downs as our CF.

Think we’d probably all agree that these are all huge factors that our fortunes have improved & gotta trust in Tonda! He sounded so fired up in his post match interview.. gotta keep the faith!!!
 
The draw with Bristol City was a missed opportunity but I don't feel the same about the Ipswich game which just felt like a fair result.


I said it ales on the Ipswich thread, but I’m really glad we won’t have to face them in the playoffs, they’re the one team I’d be afraid of. Reminded me of peak Klopp era Liverpool; give the ball away to them in midfield and they’re very quickly all over you.

I know I've already moaned about this a few times but it annoys me so much I just have to mention it again.

How any Saints can sing the words "**** the FA Cup" in a song is truly beyond me. Can't understand it at all.
 
Just got back to the hotel.

Very reminiscent of the game against Sheffield Wednesday in that we were far better but the game wasn't that exciting. Really impressed that even though the game didn't mean anything we travelled still in huge numbers. I like Deepdale as a ground, it's got tonnes of character and I love it when we get an entire stand to ourselves. I've had a great day out but there's still a part of me which is a little bit gutted that it wasn't the game to get us promoted.

Blackpool was an experience that I don't think Mini Lincoln will forget in a hurry. Even though it was only half 6 in the evening, it was like the ****ing last days of Rome. I didn't know it was even possible for genuine night clubs to be open from 5 o'clock and for people to be too pissed to be allowed in. The sheer amount of scantily clad ladies has no doubt contributed to the lad rating this as "best away day ever"

Are you blaming the Romans for the state of Blackpool? I think that is a bit of a stretch. I think the blame lies closer to home, hen and stag does come to mind.

Is anyone else struggling to get into the site lately?

I’ve had this issue on my iPhone since the site went down last week. Is starting to get irritating. Takes a good few clicks to get it to load and sometimes it doesn’t load.

We’ve got match threads to get up <yikes>

Yes, I have this issue. If I'm using my mobile I can access the site via WiFi but not when I'm on 4G, if I try I get that page show up.
