Most exciting games of the season, who we got?

Champ, Sheff U, Sunderland, Cov, Bristol C

League 1, Stockport, Charlton, Wycombe, Orient

League 2, Walsall, Wimbledon, Notts C, Chesterfield

 

Sheff U, Orient & Chesterfield for me

I really enjoyed that because on our last two visits we've conceded 10

So am really eager to beat them next season

Fuck Stockport, Like Wigan for the Manchester flank of our support. Fucking annoying tinpot club with classless trampy fans. I hope this defeat costs them big time .

Two cracking games but oh how did County not win that with those last minute chances? Fair play to Orient they were my tip for the final place and they’re half way to it now. When we’ve strengthen over the summer we’ll sort County next season.

This Leyton Orient captain is coming across as everything you want in a captain

Beckles is a top lad and a good pro but the telling thing he said was about having leaders all over the pitch, something we’ve lacked.

I really liked how he spoke, a good lad, good leader and team man

It's probably no coincidence he's also the PFA Chairman

Nothing sums up the Evatt era more than Stockport County. They bolt out of the National League (beating us as a non league club in the FA Cup) , through League 2 like a dose of salts and then straight to the top of League 1 overtaking us with our pretty, pretty football on the way.

I am sick of hearing their fans say they've never lost at the Reebok (played them 5 times in league and cup, we've drawn 2 and lost 3) and generally fed up of being on the wrong end of results against them. 

Another one next season that needs putting to rights next season along with winning at Bloomfield Road/preserving our long unbeaten home record v them and further wins v the pie men.

Not based on much, but I’ve just got a feeling that Stockport won’t have half as good a season next season. Felt very much like they were over performing this season and I think they had to take their chance. Mid table for me next season (and hopefully beaten at least once by us!)

Apparently Challinor slagged their fans off in an interview after the game for lack of atmosphere and leaving early. Some are not happy.

IE to replace him?

I’ve thought the same. Again on no foundation.

Reading’s takeover has now gone through so they might be a bit less of a basket case now, mind.

Similarly I'm pleased they're not going up. Partly because it's a nice local away, but also because I can't wait to get a proper team together next season with some physicality to finally put these (and Wigan and Blackpool) in their place before we get promoted.

Not a wise move.

But yes, IE to convert them to the new pretty boys.

We've got a couple he could look at.

Any spares for Stockport away lads

Next season is gonna be worse than this, I've got about 10 teams above us 

Bolton get battered everywhere they go 😂 

Hope Challinor bails and normal service is resumed.

Likes been said above, Evatt just couldn’t deal with -layers like that. It had to be all about him.

I’m amazed nobody’s been in for Challinor before now, seems a really good guy, good communicator and foesnt seem to get rattled and rant during games. In fact if we hadn’t had Schu I’d have liked him here with his success rate and he hasn’t spent heavily to get it.

Things I don't want to hear next season

Bolton get battered everywhere they go

It's happened again

Come in the home end 

I've now got a purchase history

Pleased for Williams, albeit only a sub last night. Gawd how Evatt failed to use him properly.

Oh dear such a shame 🤣, they all thought they had done the hard work away.

a few county fans I know think challinor will leave this summer - good cv and probably get a bigger job whilst his stock is high.

Their performance did remind me of us, missing vital big chances on 90 and 120 minutes and then living to regret it.

anyway, time for them to get back in their box - and wait for us to hopefully put things right next season.

my daughter has a cup final there on Monday, so will just leave them a few bolton stickers in certain strategic places to remind them which division they are in.

Williams at Rotherham away put in the shitest performance I have ever seen from a Bolton player in a sea of sloppy shit he was a a stand out turd. He was nearly as bad in the game we lost v Villa kids.

Not going to get easier than last season.

Recruitment over the summer has to be absolutely spot on to give us a chance.

And I mean players coming in as starters, not bench warmers.
