So as it stands they need to win at least 3/4 of the remaining games, all 4 realistically. 

It's great escape miracle or nothing time.

Another game, another good performance and a step closer to solving the conundrum!

Perhaps edged out for motm this week by Bakinson.

Unlucky to be 1 down at HT. Played some decent stuff, hit the post and have been the better side in the main.

What a way to do it that was. I mean look at that goal diff, still games to play including a final day thumping of Walsall. We brushed so many teams aside on our way to the title.

Glorious season.

Mentioned him before but Dabo at Cov for a right back?

Good age, came through the Chelsea system. Had a very good season with them as they got promoted, not sure how he has got on this year in the Champ.

Bless her. She's a very likeable broadcaster. Things like that just make you more endearing.

Ah thats good stuff. Well done Dean and best of luck.

Out of interest, which player out on loan was Tinnion watching when he spotted Eliasson? 

Engvall?

There is no way Ashton only got a call in the last few days and just handed his notice in. This sort of move must of been in the works for months if not longer in informal terms.

Glad we are rid. Once you've decided to move on, your hearts just not in it, regardless of how we rate his performance, that's just not good for business.

Hope a successor is announced soon.

Bristol’s first drinker of the day. That pint is ‘going down’ well.

Nothing says West Country like a bottle of Magners. Pubs open, buys what he's probably been drinking for the last few months. Worth it.

Ah the old 3-2-1 formation!

Incredible they managed to get to 0-0 at HT.

An ostrich walks into a press conference...

I think you highlighted both his pros and cons and for me the jury is still out. Not done enough to warrant a contract beyond the summer yet. Has his moments but he looks like he's doing a job in the DM position but doesn't have the mobility anymore for this side to play further forward where i think he could be more affective.

Those Pearson out chants were well off i thought.

Seem to remember the players saying they wanted/like it earlier in the season.

Personally i've quite enjoyed hearing instructions being called out from the coaching staff this season.

Payne gave the Gas fans the V's up after an away game during his short time there. Top bloke .

They are deep in the brown stuff. What a couple of cracking wins for Wigan and the Wombles.

His best performance ever for us?

Like Rene says, he now reads the game so well. He knows where to position himself, he knows what to do when the ball comes to him.

He was already very strong for his age when he came here, but still only 19, he wins physical battles against players much older than him.

When we are passing the ball I feel most calm when he gets it. I don't feel calm when some of the others get it!

First half he was putting out fires in defensive areas, and it seemed like we could only get things going (very rarely) when Massengo got forward.

For someone so young, he is performing at very high levels. Incredible signing. What a fantastic work ethic and determination he has to learn and improve. 

I said on here he was a one man midfield in the first half. Bit harsh on Lansbury maybe, but to be fair Lansbury improved a lot second half and that could have been down to us being on front foot more. We were quite deep first half I think.

Next season Massengo and one other, probably Williams our midfield pair. Massengo should only get better, which makes me wonder how good he might become!

He is Terrier like out of possession and composed on it.

He'll be playing top flight football in the next few seasons, I'm sure of that.

Can't believe some don't see it.

MOTM again today for me.

On his own for the first 45 before others turned up 2nd half.

Keep it going Han. Teacher's pet right now.

Edit: Wrong promising player called Sam thread!

I like that a lot. Hopefully cheer him up a bit as well, must be a frustrating time for him.

Remember their fathers name so had a look at his wiki...

His first match after his promotion was the Football League Two encounter between Bristol Rovers and Bury at the Memorial Stadium on 10 August 2004, in which he sent off Colin Woodthorpe of Bury in the 65th minute.

Obligatory red card issued!

Let's hope they have a good game and we don't notice them.

This is bloody painful to watch. The players can’t do the basics, it’s fascinating how poor it is. What causes such turgid shite performances? Are these men not professionals?

The Mrs, who knows next to nothing about football now always asks after a game "did they get the basics right?" such is the number of times this season that I've frustratingly cried out that we cant even do that.

It's depressing at times and one of the core reasons we have had a poor season.

Some really poor touches, passing and decsion making today.

We're lucky so many are out of contract in the summer. A rebuild is needed.
