Fair. 😂

I don't want to argue this, because there's no point, but one thing: Why do the 6 points against Middlesbrough get the dismissive "customary", but no caveat given for the 0 against Preston or the 1 against Norwich? Also 'customary', presumably?

Aye. And will never get to prove it one way or the other, so speculation is pointless. All you can determine is whether the person you brought in had the desired effect. In this case, emphatically, yes, he did.

To credit Robins with whatever success we get from this season would be a disservice to Lampard and his team.

No we haven't. We've been to see what he's been able to achieve in a season and a bit in Stoke, taking into account all of the given variables associated with that job. Stop the pointless conjecture on things that will never be proved one way or the other.

As it turned out in the season and a half that followed, yes; beyond that, pointless conjecture. 23/24 we were misapplication of technology away from a cup final; without a cup run, the play offs would have been more likely. Who knows what would have happened. I agree that the play offs would...

I don't care where we end up clinching it if we do; I just want us to clinch it as soon as possible, so I can stop fretting about it.

It's the kind of shite that can back and bite you on the arse, isn't it. One thing I'll say is I don't believe for a second that Lampard is allowing the players to think that way. He's far too experienced of being in this position to not instill that there's a lot of work to do yet.

This thread does strike me as celebrating before the ball has crossed the line. In fact, it's only just passed into the six-yard box. The nearest defender looks too far away, but with a well-timed slide and a bit of luck, you never know.

I don't really know what that means, to be honest. If the lottery of a penalty shoot out had have gone our way, or if Hamer hadn't gone off in the play off final, he could have taken us further. It looked as if it had run its course by the time he left, though. Is that saying the same thing...

Saw him score against us at Old Trafford. Controlled it with his hand before finishing, the git. We were (undeservedly) 2-0 down and it was about the 85th minute, though, so it didn't really matter. He was a sort of a fox in the box type striker, good reactions and intelligence, but not with...

It's not over yet. I will continue to flap until it's mathematically secure, thank you very much.

Wasn't a dive, but not a pen either. No way a red in a million years.

He's had a good season, and has been slightly unfortunate not to feature more.

Millwall clearly win more narrowly than they lose.

Sorry, but your slop is cringe-worthy.

Which is obviously bollocks, because they lack a proper striker. You can't have the best squad without that. They've arguably got the best midfield, but they've not got the most balanced squad.

Ta!

Special mentions for Onyeka and Grimes. Great cameo from Markelo. Rushworth was faultless. He's absolute class. Great save at the beginning, impeccable handling and command of his area throughout, and two superb throw-outs to put us on the attack. We absolutely have to sign him, but Brighton...

Both. They were honking, but we never gave them an inch. Contested everything.
