They had a fair few shots from close range in the first 25 too, so whatever we were attempting it wasn't working. After Travis scored we finally seemed to get a slight foothold in the game but that was purely because we actually started closing down and giving them less time on the ball. The difference between the two teams in possession was really obvious. We were also at various points leaving huge gaps in sections of the pitch which I can't get my head around. Hopefully Norwich will come out a little less pumped up and we can sneak an equaliser. They concede easily so it is possible. Even with that first half performance we could and possibly should have scored twice.

It would be a good plan if we could defend. Unfortunately we can't, so, instead it just led to Norwich scoring twice as we backed off until they decided to shoot. The second goal in particular was ridiculous. You'd think the ball was on fire the way our players were running away from it.

Why are we leaving the left hand side of the pitch empty? They are marauding down that side without a Rovers shirt in sight.

First 25 minutes it was down to our own poor attitude, imo. Like rabbits in the headlights. Last ten minutes we've been asserting ourselves more, closing down, and there's been a noticeable shift to a more even game. Not sure why it took that long for us to get going. Norwich still looking very dangerous but at least now that is more down to their quality than our lack of effort.

We've made them look amazing to be fair. We aren't closing down at all. Most teams would look incredible if they were allowed as much time as they wanted on the ball. It's been a pretty shameful effort so far. The fans who have travelled deserve better than this. 13 shots for Norwich already in 27 minutes. They look like scoring every time they come forward, our defence is non-existent.

That's hilarious. Still going to lose 5-1 but a good strike from Travis there. Norwich are pretty poor when it comes to conceding goals, so we should just shoot on sight and hope for the best. Will require being in their half of the pitch more often than we are now though. As in, more than once every 23 minutes or so.

This is painful to watch. Right back to the Rovers of February/March. Interesting game plan to avoid closing down anybody. Not working so far.

I was trying to be optimistic

We are dreadful. The gulf in class is frightening. Why are we playing like the entire team spent last night out on the lash? There's no energy, no closing down, no anything. Did Mowbray send them out with instructions to not spoil the party? Because we're making it easier for Norwich than Ipswich did for Sheffield United earlier. At least Ipswich tried. Oh, and if Mowbray thought he was doing Leutwiler a favour by giving him game time to showcase him to other clubs - bad idea.

This could end up being 4 or 5. We haven't turned up at all.

Norwich certainly look a division better than us at the moment. We need to try and retain possession rather than continually gifting it back to them. As a basic rule it generally works.

Well done to Chris Wilder and Sheffield United. An amazing achievement. More importantly Leeds now have a much harder route to the Premier League

Not sure why Leutwiler is getting so much game time, but other than that it's about the best we could have hoped for. Smallwood still nowhere to be seen.

Sheff Utd 1-0 Ipswich in the least surprising update of the afternoon. As it stands Leeds are staring at the playoffs.

A decent start, a terrible November and Christmas period, a fantastic January, a truly dire February/March followed by a good end to the season. Pretty erratic but it will end in mid-table consolidation which has to be seen as acceptable all things considered. If Mowbray learns from this season then the extreme lows of this campaign will hopefully be worth it in the long run. If we start with the Evans/Smallwood axis next season with Mulgrew at centre back and diagonal balls being launched up to Graham with Bennett shoehorned into the team wherever possible then I'll despair. Even Mowbray surely has to understand now that his loyalty and mindset has been misplaced for large portions of this season and needs to be re-aligned for us to really progress. I just hope we can shift some of the deadwood, even though we gave some of that deadwood new contracts at the start of the season.

I prefer to remember Yeovil from an FM game I played years ago where they got into the Prem, got rich and bought a lot of my cast offs without ever threatening my position in the table. They were the Everton to my Manchester United. And they never beat me 4-0. Better memories than that game. I think that was when I knew for sure that Bowyer was never going to get us into the playoffs.

Yeovil relegated to the National League. They were only in the Championship a few seasons ago. Looking like Sunderland are going to be in the playoffs. Honestly thought they'd get automatic.

Rotherham relegated with a game to spare. In all honesty they did better this season than I thought they would, considering they could only finish 4th last season in League 1 and were light years behind us and Wigan in terms of points. That said the two teams below them are appalling, with one not even able to pay its players. They also have -30 GD which is quite embarrassing. If Sheff Utd beat Ipswich this evening then that's automatic promotion and all the relegation spots in the Championship essentially wrapped up before the last game of the season. If Frank Lampard's Derby™ beat Swansea on Wednesday then that would all but give them 6th place as well, leaving the final day of the Championship as a dead rubber for everybody barring some ridiculous scores.

The EFL will desperately drag Bolton's bloated corpse to the finish line no matter what, even if it contravenes their own rules. They'll do whatever it takes to get this season finished and then sit back and congratulate themselves on a job well done whilst Bolton themselves implode during the summer.

It was only a couple of seasons ago we were inexplicably relying on emergency loans for reasons which I believe were never specified? Whilst the Bolton car crash is interesting to look at in some respects, it's also terrifying because it's like a mirror showing a very likely potential future for our club.

What's scary to me is that there are a lot of clubs, ourselves included, who could be in the exact same situation as Bolton should the owners suddenly decide they are done funding the club. The rotten underbelly of the game is being brutally exposed by what is happening at Bolton, and what would it do to the stability of the league structure if over the next few years there are multiple situations like this occurring? Are we reaching the point where the bubble bursts? The PL is largely immune from these issues at present, but how attractive is the PL with no viable structure below it? The footballing authorities have been sweeping this creeping problem under the carpet for over a decade now, but it feels like it's bursting at the seams now and could completely fall apart if there isn't a pretty huge change in the game's regulations.

Not sure why it's fair or right for the PFA to be loaning Bolton money anyway. Surely if the players feel their contracts are breached through non-payment they should have to go to the courts like would happen with any other business? A supposedly neutral body giving one club aid whilst others continue with their legal obligations seems strange to me.

"It should be recognised that the resolution is not in our hands" - what a cowardly thing to add to that statement. "Nothing to do with us, guv". Pathetic. What if the academy players refuse to play as well? Unlikely but the EFL can't force them to play either.

Here we go again, Bolton players threatening to refuse to play on Saturday if they aren't paid by today https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48067603 Embarrassment of a club.

Dominic Matteo as our dynamic left winger. Good times.
