Fuck me. Meltdown in full force today

Totally different situation, and can't be compared. We had already qualified and had only professional pride to play for. They had absolutely nothing to lose. If third was a promotion place, I fancy we'd have been promoted already.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the next 3 games.

Thinking back about some of our performances & results this season 5th is actually impressive. But its shop window time for a lot of our players at the moment and WHO if anyone would take the likes of Burstow? He's not good enough for us and has no chance at his own club , Dempsey? I like him but times time cock. Toal? Has he seen his arse or a ghost? The geezer looks scared shitless. Are there no cocky mouthy angry kids anywhere that wanna be a professional goalkeeper? What happens when that young winger goes back to his club? Do they say " so what was it like then?, he says yeah man we had a laff ya know some of the lads were skibberdy and i scored a couple of screamers but you know what bro?, on the whole they a bit shit".

We are wide open to the same types of goal every game 1 in 4 chance now but weighted against us. Every manager knows how to beat us

Conway is terrible at defending. Shockingly shit. I hope he doesn't start in the playoffs.

Baroness Falkner of Margravine (herself a Muslim) has today said she was "utterly dismayed" by the "deafening silence" of the Muslim communities regarding one of their own committing such acts.

That's about it, we know what those three opponents are like, we know what they can do or not do. None of them should hold any terrors for us. But, we know what we're like too. Some wonderful talents, game changers all over, but capable of shooting ourselves in the foot at any moment. All the traditional thinking about two legged ties, home first away second etc might as well be thrown out the window. We're what we are, could lose first leg win second, the other way round or draw them both 3-3. It'll be a white knuckle ride.

Our entire attacking strategy seems to be get the goal to the wingers to score screamers, with an infrequent often poor quality cross or through ball, shows the quality of Kenny and Dalby they've managed to score what they have. Compromising our defence for that doesn't seem worth it to me, start with a solid base atleast, that solid base starts with players playing in their natual positions. Wing backs as wing backs. We also need a proper DM in midfield, Sheehan and Rodriguez have done their best but neither can win the ball and recycle it. Rodriguez if he plays needs to play as a no10 not a psudo no8. 3421/ 532, whatever you call it, we need it, not this silly 4231 or 442. We havent got the players to play that.

I don't know how fit he is but I'm hoping Simons can play a part in the play-offs Rr and Sheehan do really well together because they both bust a gut in the middle but it'll be very hard if not impossible to expect them to do that over three matches in a short space of time and when we have to take them ofc their replacements can't do it The option to have a No. 6 in the middle would be a big thing for us

Didn't spend a day in the top two all season and finished 16 points off second in 5th. "Not quite" good enough.

This is it We're our own worst enemy

The story of our season - wrong / selfish decision making when in promising positions and meek bordering on rank defending has meant we’ve conspired against ourselves to make the story of our season considerably more difficult gone from an ideal position to possibly the worst. I don’t fear anyone but ourselves

If we are 3 up from the 1st game,, YES.👍

Said a couple of months back if we win the play offs with wing backs as full backs and (on one side at least) wingers who are zero help it'd be a miracle. That miracle might just still happen but any team better than the Red Lion can score through us at minute. We are wide open to the same types of goal every game, ones that are blindingly obvious watching on but ones we're incapable of heeding warnings of and preventing. Our play off hopes are 100% pinned on outscoring whoever we play, to do that we'll have to be a lot better in their box than we were today, decision making and execution were terrible. Should have had 6, could have conceded 6. Work to do before next weekend.

If our players were as spineless as some of our fanbase we'd be relegated in January

I dunno - not booking a train ticket yet and it only costs me £23 😁

And short of full backs so sell one of our assets to a team now above us into the play-offs, genius!!

We could be 4-0 up after 1st leg and still lose this. we are utter shite in big matches and we’ll shit ourselves away at Bradford. we shit ourselves at home against Barnsley and almost lost it so we’ve no chance here. what a disaster today has been

Today was always going to be an attacking game with a late winner. We're still better than all the other teams in the playoffs. Stop being negative and look forward to a Saturday on the piss.

We could go on for days about the defensive errors and missed chance, but the previous 46 matches now don't matter. Do we think we get past Bradford in 2 matches? I do.

Watch the second goal again. Bonham gets caught underneath it but tutu makes no attempt to play the ball, he's too busy wrestling the defender. It basically hits him and goes in. Both to blame.

It all very well these happy clappers saying its ok, we're in the play offs lets just see what happens??, imagine that was in the not so old days when finishing 3rd would get you promoted!! We go into the game just needing the win, any win, just a win. But then we remembered, we're BWFC if we can f**k it up we'll find a way. Enjoy yer bank holiday weekend.

I take your point but the counter argument is that our wingers are our greatest strength and if we go with wing-backs we either lose or lessen that strength I'm not sure we have any great options

Worst keeper since Crellin
