You can tell half these pricks on CWR are just being massive city fans because of Wembley, absolutely clueless but "we are going to Wembley".

It will be a completely different performance at Wembley. I guarantee that win or lose, we’ll play well.

That however is what is so frustrating.

Tbf it's a good way of being. What's the point of getting worked up when we're in an FA Cup semi final next week. We'd have done anything to have achieved that throughout most of the 21st century.

We’ve been inconsistent recently, boils down to squad size and the quality of the squad.

Ran out of gas

needs addressing with some substantial additions to the squad

Exactly this 3/4 players capable of pushing for a starting spot makes us a real force in the league next year.

Not so sure. Confidence is key....
We are going into the game off the back of 3 defeats in the last four.
A confident side goes out and plays without fear and confident they can compete.
Currently we'll be scared to make telling passes and mistakes and that will be a recipe for disaster against United.
You can't just switch things like this on and off.....

Then we must have seen two different performances. Some players out there looked like they didn't care, and found it funny at the final whistle. There is being below par while the other side's above it, and there's the other side just turning up while you straight up can't be arsed.

If they then turn up a brilliant performance at Wembley and lose by a goal or two, really what has any of it achieved? Play off challenge thrown away at the expense of a one off game.

Doesn't work like that does it.

Depends on relevant squad sizes and the amount of game time players have played etc

Lots more factors than just having one day longer to prepare.

Birmingham had players missing too, Otis. Plus the small detail of having been in bad form for most of the season. There can't be any defence of that performance today, I'm sorry.

I don't think we would get a performance like that with either Kelly or McFadzean on the pitch. Why Kelly hasn't been used more is confusing.

Merely saying, it's not just down to having an an extra day off.

I didn't see today's game, so can't comment.

Pre-match though, I did think we might well lose. It was an absolutely massive game for Birmingham and a bigger game for them than it was for us unfortunately.

Frustrating, but it's still been a fab season.

As did I for similar reasons, but never did I expect a performance like this. Count yourself lucky you didn't watch.

I thought he spoke well - always feel he gives a fair assessment o performances. Said he needs to look back and unravel it, which is fair enough.

There isn't much to unravel besides a lack of professionalism in the side and his own decision to keep fielding an injured player.

To be fair, it's fairly irrelevant whether we end up 7th or 11th at the finish. It's more important whether we've been competing for the play offs or not.

Yup. He can't really go round dropping several players can he. It's go again with what we've got and that's pretty much what we payed with today.

O'Hare will play. After that, it's so wafer thin, there's not a lot we can do

We are not good enough to win the Play off's regardless. So a trip to Wembley and a throw of dice seems good to me. We have a group of players with their prime years ahead of them. And on long term contracts aswell Vik and Gus nearly took us to the summit last year on ridiculous individual talent. We are now in the early throws of a sustainable model that should get us close more times than not.
