Is the exact opposite of what we should do .

no thanks best possible team best possible result send Luton packing with their season over send out a message

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

Thought Sheehan and Ruben were decent today to be fair, Luton were quite tidy in midfield, sloppy at times but also forced in to mistakes because of our midfield 2’s press. So they’re the least of our concerns Kenny looked lost without Dalby and for all the decent link up play last week he and Burstow looked like strangers Schuey needs to start fining Gale for every chance where he can play a pass he decides to be selfish and balloons it. 3 times he decided to shoot and didnt hit the target once. Fucking gormless, selfish clown

Think there were four identical chances from Gale. All of which looks like were conversion attempts. The one Kenny played across to him was screaming out to just put his foot through it and the keeper would have had no chance.

Forino is the only one of our defenders who's good at defending.

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

The obsession with preventing a pitch invasion for this specific game was really weird. I'd genuinely question whether anyone who thought it was ever a remote possibility - let alone when we lost - should actually be involved in running the club. How clueless and out of touch can you be.

It kills the end of the game for the fans if that becomes regular practice. It should be against the rules to not put the board up.

It's not a 'however you phrase it' situation. It's a league table of 46 games and a season played across 9 months. I doubt we've been within five points of Cardiff since the first month of the season. Not with both teams on the same number of games anyway. We never looked remotely like being an automatic promotion team and in the end we've finished closer to 15th than 2nd. We've won the 9th most games in the league and it's only a series of extraordinary comebacks that have kept us where we are. None of that matters for the playoffs, which are between four equally uninspiring teams. So of course we can still go up, but we can be realistic about what we are. A team that deservedly finished 5th in a poor third tier.

Forino must get a bit pissed off, playing his bollocks off every week trying to hold together a defence made of paper

Anyone criticising Rodrigues must have gone for an early pint and missed his pass for our second goal. A rare piece of quality for the afternoon.

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.

To me, its hiding their true identity (far right beliefs) behind pretend patriotism.

Madness. The added time board going up motivates players and fans alike. Today showing the added time wouldn't have made a difference to the overall outcome, but i would hate to see it become the norm.

More like, he's shocking and wants fucking off.

Seen a fair few gavibv the issue when they've gone private and GPs refuse to work with then. I'm on the wait list for an Autism/ ADHD diagnosis (more the latter) but I've avoided going private for that reason.

From which crypt did they find that ref? Fk me, some 80 year owd grandad chugging about trying to keep pace with athletes for 90 minutes. Embarrassingly bad. Hope he backed Luton 4-2 the useless sack of donkey jizz

Don't give a fuck what anyone says that's a fucking disaster today. Nothing over the course of this seasons suggests we can beat Bradford convincingly at home and get anything there. Spent the past 3 months in 3rd and now fucked it with the uphill battle of having to go a packed Valley Parade and get summet. Just isn't happening and sums our inconsistent bullshit season in one hit today. Self destruct Wanderers. Not a fucking chance we are beating them over two legs. Fuckin wank

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

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.

Ref is a bent cunt

And yet another abysmal ref !!

The last thing SS will want is to lose the last game of the season, in front of 25,000. We will go strong as possible.

Indeed but we removed ourselves from the table of discussion and any incentive France had of stopping them or taking them back vanished over night. Hence the giant spike.

Best 11 and in the words of Basil Fawlty let’s give them a dam good thrashing !

Just don’t want us to help someone have a good day at our place and build momentum. Our season starts next week. Hopefully a good match too

Why even come on to the pitch if you win a play off semi ? you haven’t won anything…..

The issue isn’t Rodrigues, it’s the 2 in the middle. We had the exact same problem last season with Sheehan/matete as a two. When Rodrigues goes forward and we lose the ball, it’s a piece of piss for the opposition to get in dangerous positions because neither can tackle for shit and you’re left with Sheehan protecting the back four on his own. Add in to that tutu and Conway bombing forward and there’s your problem. I noticed today that everytime we were breaking away, a Luton player either fouled one of ours or put a strong enough challenge in too knock them off balance causing us to give it away again. We’re too lightweight simple as that with only 2 in there.

That was fucking atrocious. Sloppy as fuck up front, just plain shit at the back Bonham is dogshit and the ref was the biggest cunt we’ve had this year. And Tthere’s not a fucking chance we’re winning the playoffs.

We had to play someone in the playoffs and it's Bradford not sure about any advantage in being at home second leg if we can win 3-1 at home that means Bradford will have to go for it at home and we are always capable of scoring, our problem is we are also very capable of letting goals in, a two goal lead though should do us.COYWM!!

Rupert Lowe. On the toilet! 🤣

Just back and imo a very good game but shame about the result To be honest if someone offered me before the game that Luton and Plymouth wouldn't get in the playoffs but we would lose today I think I would of taken it Not one team worries me in the playoffs we'll piss it

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

Could / should have been out of sight well before their 3rd. Thought it was a good game, and a nice change not to feel too pissed off after a defeat.

What a cracking game and full marks to both teams for making it that. Shame about the result but you won’t see a much more exciting L1 game than that. Bradford next and I’m confident we’ll dispose of them even though we’re away second leg. Just glad that Stevenage managed that late win because Luton would have won the play offs no question in my mind if they’d sneaked in.

Not really afraid of Bradford tbh. Would have preferred away leg first but never mind. The 'crowd' factor means fuck all. Had it been we would have been promoted years ago.

This referee is shocking, blatant penalty not given, and Walsh should have got a second yellow.

Ref in tears, great goal and celebration

COYFWM , please

How the hell does that work they have not met 25p in the pound

22 years ago today, no less 👍

it will never fail to make me smile that picture 😁

That and the all yellow one that was never released are the best we've ever had.

Aye - hadn't thought of it like that. After the passing of the late lamented Rembrandt I don't know he have anyone here who went to 58? I know Casino had meant to, but he had a 21st do that day.

Yeh, did both as well as all the others. Barry Knight sill haunts, but at least we knew we had the moral high ground (pitch invasion that was anything but friendly, while the bloke on the Tannoy taunted us. You'd think the FA would have done summat, but their Sheepshanks ruled that roost.....so no). Aldershot I remember the angry crowd in the car park "addressing" the board who were holed up in that suite at the Manny Road. Then some pillock lobbed a brick through the windscreen of the Aldershot team coach and the driver was being treated for schrapnel. "yeh" I thought, "there's me thinking it was all the fault of the board, the manager and the players. But no, the real culprit all along was the Aldershot team coach driver. Poor sod". I do remember trudging back to the bus station to get back to Howfen and thinking that as Burnley had just survived in the league by the skin of their sixth finger, that could be us next year. Fortunately, I was very wrong...

Yes My coursework for the module I'd done previously got me through Though in a meeting with my lecturer later he asked why I had done so badly in the exam whilst all my coursework was great I just said exam nerves, it happens He says, nothing to do with Bolton getting promoted the day before then Me, no course not

Missed Reading as I was at Uni at the time and had an exam the next morning Felt it best I didn't go as if we won, I'd get pissed and fuck up my exam So I went to a local pub, watched it and got pissed Threw up about half an hour before the exam It was all to do with Maps and Cartography and one of the questions was summat like "you're employed in a tourist office, what would you put on a map" By this point I'm sweating alcohol and really can't be arsed, so drew a map of Bolton town centre, put Burnden in it and all the pubs in between, then just wrote 'We are premier league' Then left to chuck up again followed by going to the union bar for hair of the dog
