The equaliser just drags it out another week until we finish 9th

Yep. Death by a thousand cuts (as BigBar posted above). As it always has been under this lot.

Pleased I was proved wrong with the equaliser, but realistically it’s not enough.

No luck of the devil again?

Yeh part of me was thinking when we were losing, at least it's over now. But the torture continues. I suppose it's better for the pride to keep in it til the last day, but it's much worse for the ticker!

The biggest problem is not having a striker scoring goals! Thats the main thing.....thats why we're struggling.... think we were the best side and If we had make it to the playoffs I would hope it would be against Luton.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I agree, end of season. Not going to happen. I went to the Norwich game, in which we were terrible, our run in has been woeful. No wonder attendances are bad. Good play to those who were there. I'm sure JDT won't be with us next year, as no investment will be injected.

I thought Luton were the better side

As expected - bottled it but not quite enough to just get it over with. Not a chance this lot take points at Millwall next week. 

Every single game that they talk up as a massive game we fail to win, because this team has no leaders, and not winners. 

[neophox]

Think Thomas should start at Millwall. Would give us a chance with crosses or corners.

[CambridgeRover]

Diaz is fucking wank. If any club in a top league have given him a contract they should be looking if they can cancel it. 

He really is dire

They’ve sold out also. No way these players cope with millwall…

Seasons over. We probably have a 10 percent chance of playoffs now 

I think that's about an accurate percentage. Maybe even a little generous. I'd put as about 20% likely, at best, to beat Millwall, and then we're relying on, is it two other games?

[Sweaty Gussets]

PNE beat or draw with S'land

Swansea beat or draw with WBA

We beat Millwall. 

It's fucking happening!

[neophox]

To be fair against both Burnley and Luton we had our chances but cant put them away... I think we should ditch Travis and Brereton next game.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Based on JDTs body language at full time  he is leaving.

Well that's it for another season. 

Feel all a bit blah about it really. 

The team proper investment which won't happen, but a proper number 9 would of got us across the line for a play off spot.

 

[Heinz]

Yep

Yep both Sunderland and West Brom cant win their games away at Preston and Swansea

That’s quite a stretch but I fully expect he’ll receive offers…done a lot with not much.

[superniko]

Borderline gross misconduct from JDT that Ben Brereton is still starting matches.

I'll drive him wherever he wants to go

Has just lost his drive. Could still turn into a decent signing on a free for someone. But the other thing is he's a confidence player, and he may have lost a lot of that again after being wank for us for a while now. Offering nothing at the moment, should be dropped to the bench.

PNE will let Sunderland score in the 95th minute after the ref adds three minutes to maximise the pain.

[neophox]

Someone said 10 matches ago it will go down to the last game....and it will....Im sure Preston will give Sunderland a game and Swansea will do their best to beat WBA.

I’ve loved your optimism for a while, but just so you don’t get your hopes up too high - it really ain’t happening!!
