Anyone would think the opposition has no defence reading some of this! Our strikers just queue up to score and if they miss they're shit. I don't remember anyone said that Vik was shit when McNair kept him quiet in '23. I do remember a lot of people calling Godden shit - be careful what you wish...

There is a difference playing on the left with a back 4 rather than a 3/5. He clearly isn't a left winger to my eye and pushing him out there to accommodate an out-of-form Simmo just has not worked for him. Obviously we wouldn't have been playing this way if Ephron was fit. Wright is easily...

It's like dropping down a division, it's that bit easier when you've lost a yard or your touch isn't reliable. Players can still be highly effective but more hit and miss against the better sides.

He did score a lot of his goals against weaker opposition where he had more time and space, the FA Cup games, Rotherham in the league... I know he scored against some very good teams too but it all needs to be considered together.

Crikey maybe it just felt like it! Still 46 apps and 7 goals. 26 goals in 99 games across the two season, 1 in 4 (and worse in the league) is a poor return for a CF by any standards, especially when he's not getting the assists either. He'd do better with a move for his own good at this point...

He's started almost every game this season, I think. Missed a couple with a foot injury, the two playoff games, little else

There's nothing much to come from Vik unless he moves for a monster fee

We can't compete with the parachutes so that means the inevitable fight for 5th or 6th place.The trouble is everyone is playing the same game. This season will be seen as a success overall but it will take a bit of luck in the transfer market and a certain amount of rebuilding if we are to be...

And after we've spent probably two record fees replacing them there'd be nothing left.

He didn't play because his season has been hugely disappointing, unfortunately!

Our fans chase everyone out in the end. It always has to be somebody's fault. We never know what's really going on! Haji Wright has the same number of goals for the Club as Darren Huckerby and David Speedie. An injury free season would probably have seen him up near Gyokeres. A bit more level...

Just couldn't get high enough

I don't know. Mason-Clark and Torp were big misses and Thomas was out too. I think Torp would have given that bit more vision over Sheaf in the playoff games certainly.

Haji 19 goals season one, 12 goals in half a season this year. 31 goals in total - are you mad?

Such a shame it was all decided by that back pass in the 1st leg. I expect that a good number of players will move on and we'll be rebuilding again in August.

I think Frank accepted that starting BTA was a mistake. We thought so here before the game. Ellis isn't working out and it's forcing Haji out of position, where he's much less effective. He has to drop deeper than he did at times last season with the back four. It's really the EMC's injury...

Sheaf's miss, completely unchallenged, from the pen spot was an absolute howler! He did start deeper but he swapped with Grimes quite early on. He always has a couple of mistakes in him and he can't hit the target. That will really limit his sale value, unfortunately.

Hamer is a PL player every day of the week. He looked class in a very poor SU side last year. He's under contract at SU and they wanted to rebuild around him (aided by the cheating parachute money) so it would have taken a lot of cash to prise him away.

I'm going 5th.
