    Really shouldn’t underestimate what a fantastic achievement staying up is. It’s been a rollercoaster but if you didn’t expect that, then frankly, you’re naive. Well done to MR and the players, they’ve all stepped up recently and hopefully shut a lot of people up.

    Great finish. He deserves a start next game so we can fully assess if he’s worth pursuing. He’s looked good on his last few appearances.

    Always impressed with Eccles whenever I’ve seen him, and he seems to improve each time. Looks more confident too - I’m sure the two are linked.

    Poor second half so far. Let’s hope the goal wakes us up. Another unforced error and silly goal to concede. As always it’s incredibly frustrating as we’re so much better than that. Good first half - it’s amazing the difference it makes when your better players turn up. And as I type that Hamer...

    Why are there no replays on red button, how unbelievably stupid is that. Looked a pen in real time and Hamer should have finished it after regardless.

    I know they’ve nothing to play for, but Stoke are ridiculously sloppy.

    Had an issue recently where iFollow now won’t cast to my Apple TV? Worked fine until recently and then just stopped. Anyone else experienced that? Don’t really want to watch on the red button as commentary is generic and no replays is ridiculous.

    Feeling optimistic about tonight again. Two up front and on the front foot, high pressure and we’ll win. While we’re essentially safe now it would be good to secure it so MR can give a few of the youngsters an opportunity at Championship football. I said this post match against Rotherham (I...

    Best feeling ever?

    The Notts County away second leg of the play off was absolutely immense. Without doubt one of my favourite ever live games. The constant signing and atmosphere afterwards was incredible, very emotive. The video still gives me goosebumps. JPT final was special too. First time watching us at...

    Them pulling out, while the right thing, has almost pissed me off even more. All that drama, hurt, emotion etc, for what? Things will now go back to normal and they’ll get away with it all. Maybe even be in a better position. There will likely be fan protests etc, but once it opens up again...

    I understand how bad for football this is, and it’s another sign of pure greed in the game. It’s a disgrace by people too far removed to care. The comments about legacy fans and objective to make money regardless of consequences say it all. It’s the right noises from UEFA/FIFA/PL, but...

    Walker certainly having quite an invisible game today unfortunately. I think with a full and injury/illness pre season we’ll see a better and more consistent version next year.

    Yep, two games in a row now from MR. It makes it even more frustrating when we go ultra defensive!

    You sure your nauseousness isn’t just because we’re winning, coupled with Biamou AND James are playing well?

    Optimistic we can cause an upset today. Players will be on a high confidence wise and if MR gets it right tactically again then Barnsley are not invincible. Godden hasn’t looked right to me yet (understandably so - not fit), nor has Walker (also understandably so - not match sharp) and...

    Credit to MR for getting the tatics spot on. We all asked for the press, two up front and an attacking mindset and that’s exactly what he delivered. We were by far the superior team and deserved the win. We’ve had a few terrible games this season, but we’ve also had a more than a few where we...

    Fantastic reaction from Ostigard at the final whistle. Maybe we will see him back next year....

    Gyokeres is either a massive diver or he’s been taken out off the ball seemingly everytime we attack.

    If we end up losing or drawing it’s because MR is standing there with his arms folded again. Idiot.
