Top Robin Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I know some of you are really not happy here, disillusioned with various things and probably looking to leave in the summer but there are just three game left and we do have a very slim chance of sneaking into the play offs. FFS please just give it one final extraordinary effort over these last three games if not for yourselves then for the loyal fans who have in the main been brilliant over this topsy turvy season. Another incentive for you must be the thought of playing in the playoffs with all the excitement, full TV coverage and exposure for you with the the hope of playing the Premier League as the prize. And if you are looking to leave in the summer then these last three games are your shop window to put in good performances to really maximise your value, to perhaps be snapped up by a quality club and therefore put more money in your pocket. So, in these last three games lets at least see you putting everything into it and coming off that pitch absolutely knackered knowing you have done all you can for yourself, the fans and the club.

jrabrewer Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hope LJ points out to them that if we win today we are guaranteed to be one point off the playoffs with 2 to play. Now more than ever, always believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a probably a well-meant posting, but it’s spoilt by the assumptions in the first sentence. If you really know these things, then please share the facts with us. I’ve seen no evidence of a lack of effort from the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Nope. 23 degrees today. Game will be played at a snails pace with LJ sighting the heat as ‘unbelievable’. Borefest 0-0 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a nonsense post They did earlier in the season Dave but is it so clear to see that more recently they haven't. By the the look of some of the performances and body language they are not happy and consequently not trying their hardest. I'm not talking about all of them, just a few.

cidercity1987 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 A great chance for them to change the narrative from A) 2nd at Christmas and plummeted to 11th. To B) 11th with 3 games to go and stormed into the play offs. Forget the Vegas trip please lads, just go in June instead with your whacking promotion bonuses.

Not disagreeing with you at all on that point, just pointing out how absurd it would be if that were to be offered as an excuse for a poor game.

Getting sick to death of anyone daring to be optimistic being dismissed as a happy clapper. If there’s even a slim chance of a play off place why not dream a little? 4 wins in 2018 does not mean we can’t win today. As for the heat, it’s about 20 degrees and there’s rain about.
