Bidwell does not look at it in his last two starts. I'd be tempted to stick with Dasilva for the season now. We can't keep teams out, might as well stop trying! Not sold on Allen as the answer every game, either. Hopefully Sheaf decides he fancies a playoff run and he can work with Grimes. Meh, onwards.

Pleased Rudoni got a goal
Gutted dovin looks out for season
Collins was excellent
Think we will get some results can see ya beating Burnley at home

Gutted for Dovin. Need to go up via autos next season. Get some solid signings and loans in. Think playoff crapshoot is not worth it.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Are you taking the piss after what you said on the simms thread?

The thread where I was defending Simms?

 

[Shannerz]

Let’s be honest, it’s not about what we did tonight or next Saturday against Burnley. It’s all about what we do in the final 6 games of the season which will decide if we make the playoffs.

I think as tonight showed, reach the play offs or not, we're nowhere near good enough to go up.

 

[SBT]

Saw a lot of comments of people getting on Collins back, he's got another chance now and we have to back him, he's been decent enough in this game and he's likely our keeper all the way through the playoffs if we get there.

Weird that some of the same people who spit feathers about people clapping Hamer once are apparently fine with openly slagging our own players off before they’ve even come on.

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

We have Burnley at home.

Don't mean shit, they don't concede goals and we can't break teams down who are organised.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Maybe because Wright was injured

So we won 9 out of 10 because Wright was injured?

 

[clint van damme]

Fingers crossed for some good news about Dovin on Monday.

Really need to get something out of Burnley now, don't want a blip to turn into a bad run.

Not expecting good news on the Rudoni front.
Doesn't need to be very serious to be season ending this late in the campaign either.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep
Got to be
Mve
Thomas
Kitching
Da silva
Grimes
Sheaf
Rudonu
Wright
Simms
Saka

Home emc for wright and wright for simms

 

[AJB1983]

Yep can't understand why anyone fails to see regardless of if it was the awkward fall that did it, it was Campbell clattering him that caused the fall. Yellow card all day long.

So suspected broken ankle.

im proper angry about it - he done Dovin dirty there. Whether he should have cleared it or turned like he did is a moot point - if he’s charging down the kick or blocking it you don’t go in like that full pelt on his standing leg. Dirty bastard.

only thing is that none of the players really were arguing about it so thought it must have been ok, one of those innocuous things. But I think it was reckless.

 

[Great_Expectations]

They play some shite generic “football” songs after the game too.

The old faux I won’t celebrate mask slipping of Hamer there a few times too.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Disappointing as it is, it’s just one game. Kitching a big miss, Rudoni really should have started and we have to hope for the best with Dovin’s injury.

We haven’t come from behind to win all season, the first goal really shouldn’t be that essential to the result. As for Sheff Utd, they’ll come bottom of the Prem next season.

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

Also fuck Hamer man, how the fuck is he still in the championship, he's been involved in every goal they've scored against us this season.

 

[Martw]

You mean Dovin?

Ankle? He was holding his knee

 

[fatso]

3 points out of 9. Not the end of the world but we need to get back on track ASAP, and Burnley at home is now a vital match.

 

[Major Tom]

We won’t have a harder game for the rest of the season - still confident of a top 6 finish.

Shows how unlikely it is for us to go up in the playoffs though. Top 3 are another level

Parachute payments.. it shows why we need to go up even we get battered, the cash is massive and buys you a top six places the next season

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

apparently if you open hamer up hes entirely made of sausages

No kebab meat

 

[ms639]

O’hare nothing but respectful again, hopefully put this stupid faux anger behind us

Think tonight is a good illustration of how much we underestimate the step up if we get promoted. People talking about how players like Sakamoto, Dovin and EMC could conceivably start for us in the Premier League - we just got battered by one of the worst teams in PL history.

 

[quinn1971]

I think as tonight showed, reach the play offs or not, we're nowhere near good enough to go up.

Bet you weren’t saying that after the Sunderland game, could get Sunderland in the play offs then a one off game at Wembley, anything could happen,

 

[David O'Day]

They play some shite generic “football” songs after the game too.

The old faux I won’t celebrate mask slipping of Hamer there a few times too.

He's thinking of the 5 kebabs he'll have tonight

We’re never going up via autos

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

As a positive, Bristol got Burnley and West Brom at are Norwich. Likely never side get more than a point

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Wonderful outside of the foot pass to Bidwell

To be fair, that pass was quality.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Well, tonight isn't season ending. We always knew we were gonna struggle to take any points from Sunderland, Sheff and Burnley. We got 3 points already so a loss away at a clearly much better team isn't the end of the world. Rudoni is back, Patterson has done enough for me to stake a claim of a starting shirt v Burnley. Not all bad. They're 24 points ahead of us for a reason. We always knew the Blades, Burnley and WBA games were gonna be hard. We just need to make sure we pick up points in the other games and we know full well Brizzle and WBA have got tough games to come too where they'll drop points. Brizzle will hopefully lose to Burnley tomorrow. It's not the end of the season and not the end of the world.

You have said what all sane people are thinking thank you

 

[rob9872]

Giving the fucking reacharound to the c**t that scored is fucking embarrassing

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We’re never going up via autos

We need to do an Ipswich.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

If they don't go up auto and we somehow got them in final if we got there ..big if I know ...would be in serious trouble

 

[shepardo01]

The only positive is Collins has done well.

Don't get carried away.
He just hasn't been horrendous.
The one he put over the bar could have been a simple catch. His reactions were slow.
Luckily, a lot of their attempts were blocked before they reached him.

 

[jto123]

I think as tonight showed, reach the play offs or not, we're nowhere near good enough to go up.

It just reminds me that although the initial high of going up would be great, a season in the premier league would be utter misery. I think parachute payments have really broken football if you’re actually dreading promotion as a fan.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Broken ankle for Dovin ?
Looked like he had hyper extended his knee

 

[Tommo1993]

Would people still fancy them in a final we won’t get to?

 

[David O'Day]

You have said what all sane people are thinking thank you

A draw on Saturday will be great. It's mostly about the 6 after that

If we aren't going to get there I'd fancy anybody mate!
