Until we make new signings my mind feels like given our current squad it'd be bottom half, not saying relegated 'cos a lot of teams survive the jump up the following season, but given we ended up very far behind the top 2 and that was with a lot of late goals too to get points, I think we need to bring in a lot of quality and hopefully our star loans can return if possible. I know we've had a lot of draws that should have been wins and a lot of performances that you'd think would beat a lot of championship sides on the day, but a theme of our season was never truly being able to put teams to bed and for like 90% of the games they were very close until we pulled out our rescue acts (quite fitting our last goal was a 90+er) clubs in a good headspace right now, but it can change quickly, not allowing myself to think about the prem as that might take several years given how long it's taken us to get back to the Champ, but that must be the aim in the long run given the object of football is to win games and thus promotion comes if those objectives are achieved. Gonna be an interesting transfer window this.

just realised no more efl trophy 😭

vs Oxford 5 shots 0 on target vs Stockport 18 shots 9 on target

Even though I thought Stockport were better 1st half we still had moments, including a class run from Tutu, we blew them away 2nd half, our subs so so so good, Bonham with a couple move saves too like the 2nd leg v Bradford, alround briliant! Wish that Cogley red card came earlier just for nerves wise lol, never cut your hair Cissoko!

DALBY ! WANDERERS! PROMOTION!!!!!!!!!!

Madueke as played a good part for England filling in for Saka, Elliot Anderson as been class for Forest and England and will get a huge move in the summer, surely you've heard of him? he's first choice with Rice, vital player we've not had before in recent tournaments.

There's quality everywhere in the team, I'd take MGW or Wharton instead of Henderson, couldn't he go as part of the backroom staff or just a moral role? Trent over Spence and Palmer despite form is capable of a moment of brilliance, he's a quality player. I get the The Toney pick, but it's not one I'd have chose We have good options on the bench without Palmer, Foden etc, I wonder if Rashford v Gordon will see rotation in that position the most, too early for Rio yet but fancy that position to be his in future tournaments. I think that along with the 10 position is the only really debatable starting area, but you'd be brave to leave Bellingham out

If Villa win and finish 5th, 6th get CL Villa 3 points above and -4 GD behind on Liverpool Man City v Villa Liverpool v Brentford --- Bournemouth 6th have +3 points over 7th Brighton and a -5 GD Brighton v Man Utd Forest v Bournemouth

Another cracker.

Great goal and well done on leaving 4 players up when defending a corner, sick of teams with everyone back thesedays.

Karma if they miss out on something by 4 points next season and of course now they'll lose potential millions and better players, was cheating really worth that? a good deterrent and totally unfair for their own fans

filth

What a goal from Semenyo.

His defensive work was absolutely top tier, but his passing down the wing was poor in a few moments 2nd half, was just before and after he received treatment, felt Burstow was guilty of some poor passes as was Erahahon, but little nit picks don't matter given the overall effort.

SS talking about mistakes he made in the build up to our 4-0 win over his Plymouth side, it's hard to imagine us being as worse as our 2-0 loss to Oxford without a single shot on target, big 10 days and then the main event vs a team who'll want to put right their loss at Wembley recently.

and so the season ends as it begins... BONHAM! FORINO! WANDERERS! that was quite unenjoyable for most, how can anyone find that fun when your nerves are at their max, WEMBLEY!

That Maeda overhead was something special, what a goal 😲

PSG attackers vs Arsenal's defence will be interesting, Khvicha is a stunning baller

been some chances and 2 handballs that didn't go Bayern's way, one would have been a second yellow for Mendes but it hit Bayern's player arm first and a handball not given in the box when Neves's hand was out and hit by his own player, Kompany not happy, not as good as last week like.

here we go already 0-1

Not expecting anything close to last week and part of me thinks the odds on Kane winning the CL and WC is slim, though I fancy do fancy Bayern in this, might need pens to do so given they need to win by 2 to avoid them.

Well Bournemouth need 7 points from 9 at least with Villa getting 0 or 1 from 9 it looks unlikely to me Villa with their 6 point lead will finish 6th or lower.

All of a sudden it looks bleak for West Ham, big game next for both ends when they play Arsenal at home, Spurs have Leeds at home and they have played really well today, Villa been dreadful, perhaps the UCL already almost guaranteed and their 2nd leg upcoming as played a apart, so a good time for Spurs to meet 'em 1-2 as i type but no time left surely.

My worry is our defence, we need something substantial for them to try and hold onto going into the 2nd leg, whilst we could have scored more than 2 ourselves and have scored 12 in our last 4 home games, Luton scored three, missed a penalty, had other moments and hit the woodwork three times and that was with Forino doing some great defensive stuff and some fist pumping etc, that back 4 cannot along with the keeper be in place next season regardless of league. Many ways of looking at this match, we know we can beat them, we played well at theirs just last week, but they'll feel they're due a goal at least given the two 0's they've already had. Needs 2+ lead, there is zero trust in us defensively .. .. also in the last playoffs it felt amazing after we beat Barnsley 3-1 away, then went 5-2 up and almost let it slip, it felt great getting Oxford instead of Peterborough, but we didn't even have a shot on target at Wembley, so if we win well in this 1st leg I won't be getting carried away and if we do get through and it's Stevenage, I won't be allowing my thoughts to think we are favourites, that Wembley loss and along with England's two final losses, it took a couple of days for that guttedness to go, but still plays on my mind now and then. if we fail here, we certainly have no chance of seeing Duberry again (if we have anyway with promotion) and Kenny and we'll need to improve because we've ended up way off the top 2 in the end, too many draws and we'd not even be close to the playoffs without all the heroic very late comebacks.
