I think it will be more an immediate sense of frustration if we end up losing our last 3 and miss out on the play-offs by, say, 1 point. But yes it'd hard to say the season hadn't been largely positive given where we were when Lampard came in.

Yeah but what about Brad’s feelings?

If we do make it there is a damn quick turnaround to getting play off tickets out, 5/6 days between games. Was it that quick 2 years ago?

He played 13 mins v WBA which was exactly the time we started to lose control of the game.

Because the scenario is the same isn’t it? win and we’re guaranteed top 6 (unless Millwall win 5-0 at Burnley) and a draw is enough if Millwall and Blackburn don’t win. And even then we might sneak in if Bristol lose both. We’re slightly less likely to finish 5th is the only downer.

Luton 11/8….

I've lost count of the number of times over the years we've come against a team that has had to use it's back-up keeper. Not once has it ever resulted in said keeper being anything other than solid and dependable. Yet here we are with two keepers to choose from and shitting ourselves that...

We'd be 5th if we beat Luton and Bristol City don't beat Leeds. They're only 1 point ahead of us. We'd also be 5th if we draw at Luton and Bristol C lose by 3 or more at Leeds.

No average or better Championship keeper is conceding that 2nd goal, in fact I'd have saved that and I'm 49 and stopped playing in goal for the Black Dog in Weymouth in 1995.

Fuck me Luton's forum is as difficult to navigate as the CET news page. Not trying that again.

When they could still win the league?!

I'd go to a 3 for this as well as the away leg of the semi should we make it (unless we're already behind from the home leg). Wilson (surely to god) Lati, Kitching, Binks (if still no Thomas) MVE, Sheaf, Grimes, Rudoni, Dasilva Wright, Simms/BTA/Bassette (pick one out of a hat and hope for the...

There is no way in a million years Lampard will be prioritising what it will do to Collins confidence if he's dropped over what is best for our play-off chances. He might well decide to stick with Collins but only if he thinks it will benefit the team in the here and now. The only possible...

100% agree with that. My point is whether or not a player who surely to god will never play for us again once dropped has his confidence destroyed is irrelevant. What makes us most likely to finish top 6 is all that FL has to consider.

So caring about a player is more important than reaching the play-offs? Fuck me I've heard it all.

So what? How does that affect us? If Collins is anywhere near the first team next season then we've royally fucked our summer recruitment.

I don't understand any of this talk about it being a risk to bring Wilson back in after not playing for months. Yes, Wilson may possibly cost us as he hasn't played for a while but its almost a given that Collins will if he plays so where is the risk?

Huh?

Not a hope, they will want to win the league.

That was the third kit not the away kit.
