It is quite frustrating though. We could really do with being about 6-9 clear points at this stage because our remaining fixtures are quite brutal on paper where Wrexham’s begin to ease.

Yes I’m fully aware no one expected automatic promotion this season, but we have so much quality. It would be incredible to go up. It does feel like things could slip away very frustratingly in the final few weeks because we dropped points at home to bottom eight sides.

I think every game is tough when you’re going for something as huge as promotion to the Championship as we saw with yesterday’s results elsewhere. Crucially we aren’t losing games or conceding many goals. I think we can be just as - arguably more - confident of facing the teams in the top half as those in the bottom half as those games will be more open and we defend very well.

I thought it was harsh.

Bet Joey Barton isn’t watching (or perhaps with mute on).

Never a penalty, very unlucky.

Dan Rice in the stands with a laser pen unconfirmed.

Sounds like an average game, looks like an awful thread.

If you still think Blooms was hard done by you'll probably have that confirmed in a few years, suspect if he does well at Luton he won't give a toss, also find that outcome increasingly unlikely. Either way it'll become less relevant as time goes on but if anyone fancies boycotting and holding up placards outside instead go for it. Snide remarks on here won't help either him, you or the team one bit.

If you think Dodds is out of his depth you'll also find your answer in time but unlikely after one interview, one dull game or him hugging someone. Blooms took the best part of a year to be effective. Similarly with Rice if we do well nobody will acknowledge or care what he actually does day to day, if we don't he'll be a nice easy target.

We were dull today seemingly because we didn't score but opposition good defensively, Kone is just back, Fred was dropped for being in poor form and seems to have made an impact from the bench, and we signed another striker but he's injured, and all the while we are keeping pace in second, doesn't sound a disaster.

I may have missed the point of this thread and pitched this at the wrong level so will end with a "ner ner na ner ner" and a "no - you smell", maybe we can have a separate playground insults / was I right all along thread away from match day reviews and man of the match discussions.

This is exactly what I have been thinking for a few weeks. I also think some already have promotion factored in so it is something to now be lost rather than to be won. We haven’t won anything yet. Please play nice.

Sounds like things have calmed down overnight. Several very thoughtful, measured and well balanced posts already which is good to see. Let’s hope our feuding friends can soon forget the divisive events of January 2025 and we can all drink to the rallying words of @Commoner’s final paragraph.

See that last paragraph, that was an attempt to get back on topic and move on. But noooooooo…… it’s just us pompous lot.

k thx bye. Kiss kiss

Edit: if anyone cares, the Majitos were either weak as hell or dangerously drinkable. And I took inspiration from @chris and went for the full Brazilian. Two of their curries rice and, weirdly, potato’s. Was really good but certainly more Thai than what imagine to be Brazilian. Served almost tapas style which is Spanish and not, I don’t think, Portuguesey.

oh, and the move on is from the sort of petty bullshit back and forth point scoring. Hence why I haven’t addressed, well almost haven’t addressed, anything in your post this time.
