We have a record striker signing who has scored how many ?? Add to that the utterly clueless selection and tactics at home by our super duper manager and we got what we deserved - never mind - we might finish one place above last season so Colin will have it right and LJ is on the best ever job - I doubt we will be fighting off offers to recruit him. Going nowhere with LJ but how many care any more - note that Mids beat Reading at home but LJ thought we got a good point - should never have appointed him - in reality what has he achieved - spent millions on crap really !

Out of his pie crust Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Not one to moan but the 50% of fans who couldn’t be bothered to applaud the team off today last game of the season probably should have a bit of a look at emselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If at the start Of the season you had offered us 8th place with 2 games to go with a mathematical chance of the playoffs we’d all have taken it.* *I don’t really believe this. It just what everyone’s attitude has been every time we lose recently and it’s not a good attitude to have. It’s bloody awful. It’s acceptance of mediocrity (although ironic I accept given that it sounds like today has been one of our better recent performances!) I think you’ll probably find that the ones moaning loudest now, are most likely the ones who were saying how shit we are and how we’re going to be in a relegation fight during our first ‘blip’ at the start of the season. To$$ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 2 minutes ago, Leveller said: Mediocre and mediocrity are deliberately pejorative words, used to outweigh the facts. Which are that we are now an above average Championship team, exactly what most of us were begging for a few years ago. I take your point. However, the attitude is a bit like winning £1m on the lottery and then losing £999,995 gambling. Hey, I’m £5 richer than I was. its irrelevant what we wanted. We reassess our hopes and beliefs based on the here and now. And right now being so shit against Reading and Wigan has really cost us, even if previously we would have been happy to be fair to middling championship side a few years ago.

I don't believe for one moment that Boro would have let him to a direct rival. Steve Gibson is nobody's fool. What has happened since makes me think Gibson told Pulis to play him and stop asking for more money to spend. Even assuming the player, having played for 2 bigger clubs, would regard joining us as anything other than a backward step. Which, let's face it, it would be.

brad blit Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Simply gutted. Best team over 90min and undone by 2 breaks and quality finishes.

Wanderingred Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 This may sound like sour grapes, but Derby deserved nothing today. They are crap and have absolutely no chance in the playoffs.

22A Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 A home defeat means we miss out on the P/Os, so get to do it all over again next season. Schadenfreud; three of the four teams who do make the play offs will be with us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Get what we deserve for not buying a proper striker and central midfielder who could make the difference, especially at home.
