There’s always time.

Play offs were a minimum expectation I think, so we've achieved that but really given our squad fallen short and fans rightfully feel very let down. I suspect the fan base will be up for the play off semi, so no, not really.

Not sure I'd disagree with the sentiment, but who'd manage us in the play offs? That is a serious question. The decision on his future is post not pre the end of season 'fun'.

Enough of the anger and jerking knees I'm of to M&S to decide on what I'll have for my tea

And if they're injured for the play offs?

Grateful we've only got to suffer 4 more games this season.

Can’t be arsed, off to watch the final episode of Shogun. Will come back here tomorrow when the justifiable ranting is all over. Nothing against anyone for their understandable comments but I can’t be doing negativity atm.

Play offs would have been nice at the start of the season but can’t see us beating any of the teams in the frame. As ever mentally weak, not brave Russ!

Watch it, you’ll wake up GM from his slumbers, and then we’ll have that idiot telling us we’re wrong and he’s right along with MLT, Katie Hopkins, some northern monkey woman on X called June Slater, Donald Trump, Reform UK, Mogg et al.

Lets hope Saints don't go and do Saintsy things today.

Nail on head. I'm so irrational at times I won't even look at match threads on here and pretend I don't care what happens. I've even been known to go out on my bike during important games. God knows what I'll do if we get to Wembley or in the unlikely event we have to beat Leeds in that final game to go up automatically. I suspect the sneery stuff is a coping strategy more than anything else. Most like to rant, a few don't. My view is neither solves nor changes anything, its just a rollercoaster ride. I am less reactive than I used to be. Can well remember losing to Watford 7-1 in the League Cup in 1980 after being 4-0 up after the first leg. Didn't react well to that. Just no SWF then.

This one from their post match comments ring true to here? "He can **** off. ****ing shite. Absolute embarrassment. Didn't think I could hate a manager as much as Brendan /NathanJones but this is getting close. At least he's a nicer bloke."

Its a part of the human condition of a football fan. I got that impression when we were on the unbeaten run on here

There'll be identical comments on here if we lose to Watford tomorrow, so it's perhaps best not to gloat too much.

It is impressive but chatting to the more discerning mates locally they reckon he’s far from the finished article and one thinks he’s more a number 2 rather than head coach. That said he has been a figurehead for the club through their travails and it is good to here the locals speak so highly of him.
