    They are not. That's why I downgraded and said playoffs and not automatics

    I’m genuinely struggling to recall a player we've had with less end product in a role where shooting actually matters. He makes himself enough chances to get 5 to 10 every season. Really frustrating.

    I do think he gets credit for doing it comfortably mind. If it’s just “exceeds”, “meets” or “fails to meet” then I agree it’s “meets”. But if it was a 10-score scale it would be closer to exceeds than meets, if that makes sense. For me anyway

    We missed out on automatics because of our shortcomings. Nout to do with the others. Dropped points against shyte teams. Dropped points with massively rotated teams. Dropped points for failing to see out the last 15 is what’s really killed us. That’s the frustrating thing, that’s all Burnley and Sheff Utd have done that we haven’t, seen games through. Slow the game down, make subs, waste time. ****house.

    Just a **** performance and it's continued for a bit.

    Borning. We need to sort it otherwise play offs a waste of time. Norwich could have been 3 up in 20 mins and Swansea had plenty of chances.

    And fwiw he’s exceeded my personal expectations. I genuinely thought we’d be closer to the bottom than the top, especially after appointing him as he seemed an odd choice

    Clear from the off today was a training exercise, ref was shocking but our lack of creativity is a concern, strongest 11 available in the remaining games please Regis my mate

    When it becomes a hair-splitting saga, of grammatical nuances ...

    ... I know it's time to bale out tbh.

    Results gone massively in newcastles favour today. Think they might get 3rd

    Poor result and poor performance.

    I think it's a very human thing to lose intensity when there's no jeopardy, but it's time to get our heads straight now.

    The Bristol City game is most likely the first of 3 so it's a big deal to put a marker down.

    Le Feé has to be starting in central midfield now to play himself into form and fitness. Mayenda should be starting too - I don't care if it's up front or off the right, just get him on the pitch. Get Hume back to right back to make the back 4 as settled as possible. Hjelde can fill in on the left until Cirkin/Alese is available.

    Surely the start of the run in, to the playoffs, is the perfect time for trying things/players ...

    ... the games will become more serious and Enzo will become a fixture imo.

    People wanting us to play our strongest team and go flat out from the start may have a point ... I just don't agree.

    We still had enough chances to win that, poor decisions by the officials didn't help either

    It was minutes in the tank for some returning players, and a start for Jones for his pathway in to the side. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Win last 3 that's enough form to go in to play offs.

    Villa and City both won. Only Forest lost who are in that race.
