[StrettoBoy]

We have had a dreadful start to the season, a fantastic run in the middle and an awful end.

Sound familiar?

At the end of the day, we have just lost two games in succession, to both the two teams at the bottom of the table.

Yet here we are, STILL in 6th place.

We would have all taken that all day long before those games wouldn't we? The reality that with 1 game to go, we would still be in the playoff positions.

Still a lot to be optimistic about. But we do need some key players back (MVE and Thomas especially)

Yeah and the late goal for Luton didn't actually change that much in the end

Had they gone down to 9 and we won we would have clinched pretty much but going from a draw to a loss hasn't really cost us due to Boro failing to win

Anyone else see that guy spitting at our fans at the end? He was standing up on a pillar.

Guy behind was shouting at the copper [pc 949] to do his job, he just ignored it.

They really are scummy fans.

Yep. Such weird behaviour from them. Gutted we've kept them up.

 

[shmmeee]

@shmmeee lampard said he has no complaints about the red because they are the rules .. what are your thoughts mate

He’s wrong.

 

[torchomatic]

Not necessarily...

 

[Cally Fedora]

Still in our own hands going into the last game. I’d have taken that when we were 17th. But please Frank - put Wilson in.

 

[Evo1883]

He’s wrong.

Fair play mate

 

[pusbccfc]

Not necessarily...

Cannot see them going down. They'll beat West Brom.

Some people posted that Latibeudiere was a stupid player. I have to disagree. I think the opposite is true. He was having a torrid time first half against Morris but totally turned it round second half and didn't give him an inch. A player who can adapt to CB in a 2 or 3; a right back and DM clearly has some football intelligence.

 

[Ashdown]

He’s still a liability though. Gets caught out of position too often, throws himself at opponents legs to disguise his lack of pace. Gets involved with pathetic spats. I’d have him out next season in a heartbeat.

Correct, he was really good I thought. Morris is a handful for any centre back in this league.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Morris targeted him early on and tried to rough him up and bully him. Lati stood up to him and got the better of him.
Lati is a good defender at this level. His ability on the ball isnt the best but Grimes has helped in that aspect.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

With all the luck we’ve had regarding our results… I’m convinced it’s our time!

I'd rather convince myself we are finishing 7th and revel in the misery and then be pleasantly surprised should we finish 6th, rather than the other way around.

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

He's really cross! Not seen him like that before.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He's really cross! Not seen him like that before.

Well because twice in a week opponents have escaped blatant red cards committed right in front of the officials

 

[David O'Day]

I thought we looked okay until the red card, the 4-2-3-1 on the ball which changed to a 5-3-2 off the ball looked pretty clever

 

[wingy]

Yeah but that's Cos they don't want to ruin the flow of game or some other initiative.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Eccles should have gone down (and stayed) after that kick.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

He's really cross! Not seen him like that before.

How about he calls out the fact he keeps on picking useless Collins.

 

[JohnWH]

Oh boy.
Had to watch the replay as a full day of events blocked my Saturday from start to finish.
I take great care to never, never say a bad word... (though I'm sure I've slipped up once or twice in the past).

End of my communique.

Boro game to finish the season will be a gripping game indeed.

 

[robbiethemole]

He's really cross! Not seen him like that before.

That’s another ban and fine then! How many more times does he have to stand up to these shit refs before the FA do something about them?
Maybe more managers should be like Frank, then they would have to take notice

Just a little premature I think, the season hasn't ended yet.

Have you forgotten we are 6th still going into the final day with a home game v Boro (also out of form with easier games).

It’s not ideal, but Blackburn, Millwall and Boro would rather be in our shoes right now.
