I do wonder what went on there. Still was managing in Ligue 1, and doing pretty okay, so you would think we would be alright with him, at least a top-half finish, and Spors must have thought that too. But the side crumpled under him, and it seems it was due to poor communication. There was also that story that went out about the mystery Championship club whose players didn't like their manager. Was it a personality clash? Was Still under personal stress? Was his career being carried by his brothers? He'd managed four clubs before hand so I don't think you can say he just got lucky at Lens and the players were able to take care of themselves whilst mostly ignoring his input. Would like to know just what was going on at Staplewood over those four or so months. Maybe an ex-player will eek it out on a podcast one day.

Haaland coming on late reminded me of the league cup win against them a couple of years back.... alas not to be.

Regardless of the result we put up a good fight the entire game. A championship club took the premier league leaders down to the wire and for a moment looked as if they could have gone all the way. Some really excellent clearances today the players played with heart and passion which if you think back to last season is all we wanted from the team. Support was fantastic also, roaring before during and after the match and in my subjective opinion we put City’s fans to shame. We now have a big end to the season and we just need to pull through and aim for the main prize…. Promotion!

We’re never losing at Wembley again full stop

No Haaland starting? Underestimating us.

4 point gap as things stand Think spurs would be too fragile to overcome that

Not sure if the Zombie James Bree chant is awesome or awful

being out of the autos isn't a bad thing, because going up through the playoffs is more fun than 2nd

I think you will get autos and that we will be better off for it. I fancy us against Boro, Millwall, Hull, Wrexham, whoever over two legs, or in the final. Ipswich would be more difficult than any of those

Martin would be a good appointment for them, I mean the scar tissue is off the charts. So many sulky boys in their squad they just need a cuddle

Oxford with Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall next. Could they perform a miracle and send Mad Nate down?

I think that's it for autos now... just need to focus on winning the remaining matches. if we take a heavy beating at Man City, we can't let it affect our form Need to be strong and be fit and firing for May.

Really good to get the point Just got to stay consistent and uninjured for the playoffs now

It's coming

Nail biting

good teams can play shit and still grind out results We're still in this and we've gotten so many last minute results this season, we can win the match ... Oh good attempt by Stewart

Just need one more, and to stay awake at the back

stewaaaaaaaarrtttttt!!!!!!

Still time for 2 more. We came back from 3-0 this season I'm not giving up on this team that easily

Agent Baz not coming through 2-0 millwall

He had a horrible couple of years through injury. Some never achieve their potential due to it, it must be an amazing feeling to have achieved what he has this season and to know he’s on an upward trajectory again hats off

The football has been much more enjoyable in 25/26's run - Martin's football was much duller, albeit with some good moments. In 23/24 it felt like we were more like flat track bullies, as we ultimately didn't really lay a glove on Ipswich or Leicester, in 25/26 we defeated Coventry. Speaking of league leaders, we beat Arsenal in 25/26 (as well as another strong PL team - Fulham) but in 23/24 we were smacked around 3-0 by "Klopp's kids". Subjectively - the timing of the run - it's more exciting to have a good run at the end of the season. Personally, the question of which run was better is rhetorical I think.

assuming other games are wins, we would be WWD putting us on 82, and ipswich would be WLDW putting them on 83 we need all 9 points in my opinion, its just so unlikely we could get 2nd with 82

GD basicially doesn't matter now because we need to win all 3 really to have a chance at autos (its unrealistic to expect both of them to do worse than WWD), and there is no scenario where ipswich / millwall can match us on 84 points assuming saints WWW at 84, and thus we ignore ipswich's game against saints in the following calculations cos they get 0 points from it ipswich / millwall WWW 85, they finish above us ipswich / millwall WWD 83, they finish below us in short, we need to win all 3, millwall drop points, and ipswich drop points big ask? yes, but we just have to win all 3 basicially because its out of our hands other than that
