I think if you watch it back you won't think a foul is harsh. Red or yellow debatable but obviously deliberate.

Will only happen if we have a stronger squad. Robins is a very good manager but not a miracle worker.
Ipswich will have plenty of fun next week that's for sure. Hope they enjoy their promotion party Tuesday
Just feel we got distracted and didn't have the energy to carry us through, Unlike a Robins side!
The individual player stats generally always show Sheaf as one of the best players in his position in the division don't they.. I agree the stats don't tell all, but the eye test tells you he's very good too. A very classy player.
That said, if we can sell high, we probably have to do it.

I still reckon we'll beat them...somehow!
Didn't realise the season petered out so badly, like I said at the time, would rather have lost against Oxford and have another shot at the play offs. Which easily could have been done.
The arguments are 1) you can see how good he is, defensively, attack wise, breaking play up, passing range, even an eye for goal every now and again,
2) he is one of the best, if not (and at one stage this season THE best) midfielders in the league - the stats say so, not me,
3) there are 10 other players on the pitch, in both cases, and you can’t rely on your stat to show whether he’s good or bad because of that fact
Oh, you don’t need to check for yourself? To ensure you’re not wrong.
Yes, mate, of course, make the assumption that I said he’s shit. Grow up.
check what? I’m not saying the stat is made up, I’m saying that it’s a nonsense to say that Sheaf is bad based on what was quoted, whether true or not it doesn’t really make a difference
Worried about Norwich potentially having nothing to play for final day, also Plymouth being completely awful, as Blues going down is the only joy I can hope for this season now.

On Sheaf I think many do over rate him.
He’s the best we have, with a quality air about him but he isn’t yet a great forward passer, isn’t a great defender and isn’t that consistent. I’m not sure he’s a very vocal leader either on the pitch either, although he has respect.
I think he will get there and has plenty of potential. But he isn’t there yet.
No idea why we are discussing Sheaf who didn’t play and is the best midfielder we have.

Think the team was strong enough this year to be honest. Just lacked a bit of depth. Without the cup run I think we make it into the playoffs.
Good point in the end. Good to see Ponticelli get some minutes off the bench as well.
There isn’t really any excuse for the current squad being play off capable (other than a bit more depth)
Hamer 2 was needed last August.
Yes. First 11 is good enough. Squad wasn't. Robins made it clear in January but we didn't address that.
You could tell at the time he was pretty pissed out about it as well.
Proper AM as well. Someone who can run with the ball, pick a pass, score a few.
Lack of wingers has definitely cost us with Sakamoto being injured. Wright has needed a rest for a while too.
We will unless a referee decides to disallow a goal or give a red or give a penalty for a tackle 4 feet outside the box
With Huddersfield now relegated, might be worth a proper look at Rudoni
It will still be 26,000 but either way, Doug needs to be careful with prices next season. £37 is still a dreadful price for a Championship match.
Im as frustrated as anyone but some of the comments on here are way OTT
Just played 3.5 games in 6 days, players ran themselves into the ground trying and in my view beating, one of the biggest clubs in the world a few days ago, players dropping like flies and all some can do is give the team/players a kicking getting an away draw playing with 10 men for 30 mins against a team fighting for their lives ?!
When did we become such an entitled fanbase ? Leeds lost 4-0 against QPR, West Brom 3-0 v Sheff Weds, Southampton lost to Cardiff and Stoke recently, Leicester lost to both Plymouth and Milwall in the last week or two and there’s been loads of other examples of end of seasons shocks/poor results*. And that’s clubs who haven’t had to play 120+mins at Wembley against a Prem team and some much bigger more expensive squads. Anyone can beat anyone in this league if you’re not 100% fit and on it
*Man Utd who were apparently fine after the semi final drawing at home against the mighty Burnley ?!

Was it any more of a foul than the one on Wright we were all surprised wasn‘t given. Methinks not.
I’ll still take making an FA Cup semi final for the first time in my lifetime and nearly pulling off one of the greatest comebacks the game has ever seen over potentially scraping into the play-offs and probably not winning them tbh.
I think a new centre back for sure. Kitching in particular has gone downhill rapidly recently, way too casual.
