Because they need their appearance bonuses to pay for their child’s next baby shower?

Trav has a knock but why Forshaw who has been poor in every game? Buckley would have been the logical choice.

Woodrow for Hedges too when Mak is on the bench.

[Gav]

Everything good we’ve done for months comes through Dolan, he’s a very good player at this level and we’re allowing him to walk out this summer. 
 

VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

When was the last time we hit four goals at home?

We haven't had a home win in two months.

[Exiled_Rover]

Can I ask why a player with perhaps the worst first touch I've ever seen consistently plays #10 for us when he comes on? Woodrow is a 6'+ carthorse - why is he playing behind Ohashi?!

Christ.
 

Amen..truly sickening.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Oh they decide to click, and play now we're out of the running. FFS.

[superniko]

Pencil us in for needing a 3 Point and 8 GD swing on the last day of the season, but ending 8th as the other teams win, and we rue another year. 

[booth]

Ribiero with a cracking long range shot, blocked.

I'd like to keep him as a bench option - there's so many games to play during the season that he's a useful squad player - but he's not a quality starter.

Too little too late

Don’t worry, as it stands we can no longer reach the playoffs

We technically can if teams above fail to get 68 points and we win all our remaining games but with Coventry and Bristol both winning that now looks astronomical 

[Adam C]

Dolan has been brilliant today. Millwall can’t cope with him. It maddens me that he’s going to be let go on a free when we’ll struggle to replace him.

Feels a bit insulting tbh after the past two months. With that said, if you're a Millwall fan this must be massively demoralising. Oh well. 

Twice we've derailed their playoff hopes.

 

They hate us

Agreed & therein lies the problem. The current strength in depth is poor when you factor in injuries.

We need to be signing more Ohashis and Riberios - less of the Forshaws and Woodroows. If they’re not really competing for the first team then what’s the point? You might as well have Academy graduates in there, at least they’d care about the club.

My bad I was in 2points for a win mode 

[sharpysharps86]

Nope. We can only get 65 points

We can get 68 with 3 games left after this...but its all irrelevant because it won't happen.

[Tom]

It does highlight how frustrating the run was but I’ll take a 4-1 home win anytime!

Seems like they're actually quite similar to us in that they derail their own playoff hopes. Time to look in the mirror and realise that, just like us, they're a part of this swarm of average, inconsistent teams in the middle of the division who don't have the fortitude to go the distance. 

We, however, have shit owners who consistently sabotage our efforts. Not sure it's the same for them. 

[Tom]

Great save Toth, sub appearances have shown that Forshaw and Woodrow can’t be kept on they offer nothing. Gueye been poor again as well sadly he needs to turn it around again but isn’t looking like doing so

Yep.

You just have to look at the lack of athleticism in the midfield between Forshaw (who clearly still reads the game well, he just can't move any more) and Buckley and the Travis / Tronstad duo. It's night and day. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Another good save by Toth - which begs the question, why has he been sat on the bench all season?

[TimmyJimmy]

Got to say I've enjoyed the match. Good stuff. Shame we've pissed our play off chances away but nevertheless a good game. New contract for Trondstad please asap.

 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Too little too late...so frustrating.

All is well though.

Must keep his place. Two games, no obvious clangers dropped. No reason to put Calamity Pears back in.

Lol, Preston lose late on by the looks of it.
