    After today, I'd be 100% confident of getting to Wembley if Bristol finish 5th.

    With all due respect. You came to the stadium of light and are arguably the worst team I’ve seen here. Nicked a lucky goal and defended for 90 minutes

    then you’ve got a dubious red card at home and took a screamer and deflection to beat 10 men.

    use your head a little

    An injured Mundle, a seriously out of form Roberts, a striker and a midfielder.

    I'm hardly suggesting we play him based on recent performances.

    Any news on Ballard?
    Watson has annoyed me there mind, already got his big money sorted and being a Sunderland fan, should be running through a brick wall and proving us wrong. Needs to sort that attitude out or he’ll go nowhere in the game.

    Someone put on Twitter Brighton may have added a clause that Watson has to play!!! Hoping that cannot be the case!

    Watson is pretty naive mind. Brighton will have been watching today

    My 2 cents time.


    Did well considering the early red card,

    2 longish range shots did us

    Bristol had 12 men.

    Watson clearly doesn’t want to be here.

    Home before the chippy closes is our target

    Mundle will be fit. I disagree about Roberts. Mayenda, Le Fee and Rogg have all done well playing out wide.
    Do you think you know better than the people who run the club like?

    Anyone remember when @Bob the Mackem said we’d agreed with Brighton that Watson wouldn’t play the final 4 games of the season?

    now we can wish that wasn’t bullshit

    Sorry but I can’t think of another reason to play him today! If he starts on Monday I’d think it’s true!! He didn’t say Brighton had that, he wondered about it as that would make sense for him getting so much game time despite being clearly the worst player we have for 2 straight games

    the club were clearly trying to sign a winger in the window and weren’t able to.
    So he’s not suggesting he knows better than them. Just that it’s costing us that we didn’t.

    I do think every left winger in our team struggles when you take out Cirkin and have Hjelde or Anderson there, not to make excuses for tommy.

    ....how about the fact we can play him and rest others because he's not in our plans and it doesn't matter if he gets injured?. Also, today's result didn't matter
