    The outside of the stadium is clunky and industrial and the inside little better.

    Why, if their support is so big, did they have a big empty block to our left. And why do they have that stupid drum and one song <doh>

    apparently the big empty block is closed by safety group. chansiri just hasn't invested and they haven't needed to use it, so he's just left it to decay. disgusting really. Donald would have done the same.

    The big empty corner looks hideous as well.

    They shifted loads of us into one year when we brought more than they could cope with.

    Great view tbf.

    I would have to confess that the only time I have been to Hillsborough was in 1973!

    You pin that comment from Wycombe up on the door to the dressing room at Wembley for all to see.

    Belated write up given all the excitement, but here goes.

    I was so frustrated with their goal because in all honesty they'd hardly laid a glove on us over 160+mins of football up to that point. I mean its a quality ball from Bannan but we switched off a bit. Expecting extra time, expecting the worst...

    But I've said throughout, just because you're used to something happening that doesn't mean it will always be that way. I refound some optimism knowing just how many late goals we've scored under Alex Neil, certainly when they announced 10 mins of added time.

    A long ball (okay more like a clearance) and Jack Clarke does brilliantly. Hes effective when hes more direct rather than beating his man more than once! Great anticipation of where the ball would come from Roberts and its a tap in, how often do you see the player not gamble in that scenario though?!

    Performance wise we were very resolute. Evans superb again and both centre backs warriors.

    Onto Wycombe then. We know exactly what to expect with them, long balls and plenty of set piece quality from the left back. The key is not giving them the first goal so they can bring their '****e' into action to stop the flow of the game. Its a massive opportunity for us and especially under Alex Neil, I trust in his plan to win us the game.

    90 mins away from a potential promotion, hopefully its the last we see of this bloody league.

    That’s the word I detest “ hopefully “ if we fail this time to Wycombe, it doesn’t bare thinking of, but I bloody pray we don’t have the same formula for getting out of league one that we had this season. On a happier note I feel we will batter the filthy bastards and be in the Championship by 5 o clock.
