You said only 1 player is good enough for the Championship.
I'll leave it here with you. I await your excellent transfer target news in a few weeks. Could do with a laugh.

Lads football doesn't have to be pretty to be succesful , yes this season i believe weve struggled to be consistent and weve not looked particularly great in many games , but at the end of the day not all succesful teams are pretty teams .
After 46 games you end up being where you deserve to be

Because we are knackered - you don’t just perk up and start dominating a game.

Where’s the 45 from?
Did Walsh get sent off on 62 mins????
No is the answer
And for about 10-15 mins we had all the ball Rudoni was making stuff happen and simms and wright had half chances
It was such a shit ball in for the goal

Milwall and Blackburn will give no shits if they get in the playoffs
Exactly. Doesn’t matter how you get there.
Just get there.

The teams around us have had inept performances.
Weeks back, the Opta ‘super computers’ believed 68-70 points would be enough for playoffs and they were correct.
The bottom teams all being on close to 50 points is ridiculously high and showcases just how difficult this league is.

We’ve lost every game he’s attended. Sorry Lauti but some things are more important than international friendship.

Doesn't he always come against Luton?
Sure the league game when he first came was that 1-1 when Godden scored for us. Then the play-off final (which was also a draw, though the ultimate outcome was a loss).
You'd think he'd want to see us play someone else. A penchant for watching us struggle to beat a team of battlers seems quite a niche interest.

Most of our players are good enough for this league bar a couple, Tavares and Collins being the obvious weak points, we certainly must start the season with a much better first choice goalie than Collins.
Sure we could always get better players to replace ones we have and that may happen but the real issue is squad size, we are short of options on the right side in both defence and attack, another right back and right sided attacker is needed in addition to what we have.
It would also be sensible to replace Pato with a younger pacy and physical player if his contract isn't actually extended another season.
Edit: Forgot about Jamie Allen, a good professional but here we could do a bit better and I imagine he will be looking for 3 year deal which the club will probably not want to give him.

im not someone who slaughters referees but the Plymouth result would have been very different if he’s issued the red card
we have the 4th most points in the league since Lampard took over

I think it's obvious lampard is trying to influence refs moving forwards with his comments to media
And our fans rather than get behind him call it excuses or that they are losing faith in him
Yet the same fans ask us to be good at the dark arts of the game.

He really should have ensured they learned from Allen not going down
Binks showed us how to do it and Eccles then doesn’t respond

I don't think Eccles will be here next season. Not cos of that reason obviously

Surely that works both ways?
Yes refs notoriously love it when managers criticise them in the press

This is what it's all about. 
I hope we don't loose any of our good players in the summer, let Frank have a summer recruitment if his signings are as good as Grimes, then we should be top 6 next season in the Championship. He knows what players we need and he knows what players we have that don't cut the grain, I am excited for next season, I just don't think we are ready for going up this season.

He will know who he wants out and who he wants in
We will be better next season I have no doubt and that's very encouraging
Personally I would like to see Eccles Allen bidwell collins leave for sure if we can find better replacements
Then in open to likes of jds lati Simms going if lampard sees fit

I’ll always argue you make your own luck. Great to get those goals sure but in both people forced the issue whether that was Simms putting pressure on a young keeper ( as he was told to by Grimes), or the team pilling on top of pompy at the death ( Thomas being up front so the CB had a harder time dealing with it).
Still we are struggling at the moment to form quality chances away from home. Lucky for us so have Boro and Bristol

We will win next week, quite comfortably I think if Thomas and EMC are back
I think so to, MVE hopefully back as well.

It’s fair because the amount of decision that have gone against us has been worrying. Usually it evens out but barring Haji’s goal v Burnley (which is well within a margin of error), I can’t think of any glaring decisions we got away with.

We're in the playoffs with 1 home game to go. I doubt anybody would have turned that down at the start of the season. If anybody did when MR was sacked they would be mad.
To be unhappy with how we got there is entitlement and I'd hate if being a reasonably succesful club turned fans into entitled wankers like the ones the other end of the M69.

There have been plenty of displays of entitlement over the last few years and I've no doubt it will continue.
Its amazing what a few Wembley trips can do.

Nope - we should’ve been home and dry but we’ve also rode our luck at times, we’ve got close to 20 points from stoppage time winner this season.
It’s like the last game of the season in L2 where there will be tension if we can finish in the playoffs or not. Ultimately, Boro need to win whereas a draw should be enough for us so we’re in a good position going into the final day.
There’s a lot to be optimistic about going into the off-season, regardless of which league we’ll be in.

We have a very good home record, Boro have a pretty poor away record.
We have a very good record against Boro.
I'm not over confident myself but I can understand why some people are.

If we can’t get over the line at home then we don’t deserve to be there, which funnily is what the table will say.
I think we’ll do it personally.
