IF Che is properly fit he has to start IMO. It’s been weird recently, having no idea what formation or starting XI he’ll go for. Usually it’d be a real cause for concern but we’ve at least looked relatively untroubled at the back the last 3 games. I hope Leeds go balls out and start their front 4, I think it’ll give us too much control in midfield and they’d struggle. If they’re brave enough to drop one of them, match us up and press high, I think it’ll be far tougher

Has to be Fraser for me, he’s got both the pace to keep up with their wide players and the threat in behind as we saw on Friday. After watching it back he was better than I’d noticed on the night, in both directions. Really hoping that Che makes it though, though he misses sitters he really helps us click up top

For WBA away game, a handful of returned tickets did make their was onto the site but were unannounced. This was a couple of days after they sold out on 11 aways, and I was able to get mine with 10 No idea if any will reappear for the final, but worth checking if you missed out

What a shame a load of morons felt the need for a pitch invasion and goading the away fans. Derby did the same to us and I thought they were horrendously small time for it. Pitch invasion for getting promoted - fine. But we’ve won nothing yet

Manning is my choice

Good

Would’ve taken a draw before it started, I didn’t think we played well so good to escape without being behind. Really good atmosphere and a decent enough game for a 0-0. Mara and Manning were terrible. Mara just isn’t involved at all, and Manning never even gets close enough to his man to have a chance of stopping a cross. Luckily we defended fairly well aside from him.

Yeah exactly. Only 1700 fans really, I wonder if it’s why the club put the comment about potential returned/released tickets. If the 300 number is right, that’s a big chunk for people who don’t really care

Oh right. Hopefully we’re also providing them with the minimum allocation then for the home game

Yeah I’m going to miss out with 10. 2k tickets is ridiculously tight, considering their capacity is 27000 it’s miles off the 10% I thought we’d get?

Ipswich are everything we aren’t at the moment. Bottle, graft, up for it

I said on the group chat that the starting XI was going to be a car crash, so blatantly obvious that it was far too lightweight to have any impact. If he’s going to throw the game, at least give some youth players some minutes rather than those who won’t be here next season. I decided at 2pm not to bother going and I’m glad I didn’t. Mara leading the line - pathetic. Brooks - pathetic. Smallbone and Charles are not combative or strong enough to get us a foothold in a game and any time it went forward it bounced straight back off Mara.

Bravest player = Stephens

Not inspiring much confidence is he. The philosophy is shit, his tactics are shit, game management is shit. Hope the owners were paying attention today.

VAR gives that all day long

Glad to see we’ve improved with Martin’s inspired subs. Fucking dross. Walking football is shit, it sets the tempo for the whole game, normalises slow, uncreative shit and wide open space for the opposition to play into

Shows how incredibly low the bar has been set, as they’ve both been shite as well

Bit harsh on Fraser, he’s actually made some things happen. Not his fault he’s just hit one statue who can’t time a jump to aim at in the middle. Agree with the rest though, RM is out of ideas

If they’re rusty and out of form for the playoffs?

Aribo and Downes at HT please. Need some fight and control in the middle

Predictably shit performance from that starting XI though. Front 6 extremely lightweight and lacking fight

That ball over the top has been threatening to cause us problems all game. So open at the back, standing off. Dross

Passenger in a team that desperately needs some bite

So slow. So little movement off the ball. So easy to defend against. Boring. The problem with being happy to stroll around in the opposition half is you’ve got no space to play in and then loads of space for the opposition to break into when you inevitably give it away. Rinse and repeat

Not really a surprise that we look fucking awful is it. Most lightweight front 4 imaginable
