Last night was an opprtunity missed to get within touching distance of the play offs especially as only TWS got a win.
Burnley were good in the first half but we outplayed them by far in the second. I think Eddie Howe is a great manager and did better than most to keep our strikers and midfield quiet for much of the game, they came here to nick a goal or 2 and sit back and defend which they did.
2nd half we were by far the better team so what Pearson said to them at half time worked...sign of a good manager also. We were unlucky not to score at least 1 but thats football.
Play offs are a big ask now but then many on her would have been happy with safety considering what happened at the end of last season so to finish around where we are now is a bit of a bonus.
What we all have to remember (hard as it may be), this team is a work in progress and a mid to high table finish outside the top 6 is probably what was expected this season.
We can all now look forward to the demise of TWS back to mid table, at worst, losing in the play offs, hopefully at Wembley so we can read all about how unlucky they were and that they will win the league next year because they are the biggest team with the biggest support and they once were in Europe balh blah blah.
For me it has been a good season, 10 games to go so anything can happen but last night we were out thought by a talented young manager who will go far.
