Fantastic season but the bottom line is its very difficult to finish top 6 when you only have 6 or 7 genuine Championship quality players in your squad.

Luton & Huddersfield have. Millwall still might. Biggest difference with those teams is that they are much better defensively.

I don't think we'll do a Barnsley but we will definitely be struggling next season when we sell a number of our first teamers

Because of the season we've had our better players will be in the shop window.

Why? As long as he stays relatively injury free he is a good player to have in the squad. Positionally the best we have as a holding / defensive midfielder.

Do any of them improve a Bournemouth today? I think a bit of context is needed on how good other teams players are.

Plus if you sell all 3 it really could turn out very badly.

Our attendance today was double their capacity yet their squad is probably worth 5x what ours is. This league is ridiculous.

They were on the ropes and all over the shop first half.

They were clinical though and we weren’t

Sisu have changed. They will double anything we make on market. 30m can see us to the premier League!

Who are the better players than we sold and O'Hare, Hamer and Gyokeres replaced?

So bedwetting over something that hasn't happened and might not happen.
We've still got 3 games left of this season, which has been really decent, and you're relegating us next season already.

Who's bedwetting? No here did I mention relegation? Just that we will regress.

The game today is pretty much a hallmark for the season. Start well, have multiple chances and then concede.

O'Hare had a really good chance to equalise at 1-0 but hit it straight at the keeper.

We need to vary our play a little bit when we play against teams that can defend well aerially. I think that's why there was the clamour for Tavares earlier this season, for that something different in and around the box rather than a hopeful ball in to Gyokeres.

It's going to be a tough season next season as I suspect we will lose Gyokeres and Hamer, on top of that we will need to replace players on loan maatsen and Clarke-salter. I think we need another attacking midfield to come in and challenge/rotate with O'Hare when he's tired or out of form.

Can't disagree with that, question is how we reinvest the money into the squad if and when we sell one of/all of Gyo/CAH/Hamer

I'm not sure it is. I think most, if not all, of us would like that. It can always get worse though - it wouldn't guarantee that things would improve.

Honestly you are embarrassing, O'Hare involved in our decent play 90% of the time. Allen involved in nothing. He was rubbish today

It is only helpful being involved in 90% of the play if you do anything constructive with it.

I’ve read the term embarrassing a lot this match thread aimed at individual players, the defence, the midfield and attack. Most fans on here are embarrassing. Now we have, we are going to be worse next season, this is the best it’ll get etc etc. Since Robbins came back we have improved season on season and there is still no belief that he can do it again next year. Most fans on here have no faith in our manager. You read this forum and you would be mistaken it’s a Blues forum, where the fans have something to moan about. This has been a great season and I don’t see any reason that next season won’t be any better. I will make my judgement when I see what players we hold onto and who we bring in. Most are making their judgement of next season based on nothing. I’m not embarrassed about any of our players, we have had a great and most importantly an entertaining season. Feel free to have a go at me, I couldn’t care.

Personally said the season was over after drawing with PNE. When Sheffield Utd win at Ashton Gate tonight, then yes it’s done.
