The odd misplaced pass, he did 1 good thing when he battled and won the ball back high up after losing the ball

Would it be an exaggeration to say you could count his open play touches on one hand?

Enjoyable game to be honest. We've been better things are a bit bitty for us atm with injuries and players running on empty. We really needed to invest in January to make the play offs, understand the reasoning behind why we didn't but that decision has ultimately cost us.
Great atmosphere PUSB

Not even sure it was a decision. Who has money to just throw at it?

Thought Derby home fans were quite loud when they get got going ,but it was too dependant on how they were playing , shite between our goal and there's basically , loud either side

Oh yeah I remember. Only happened at the start didn’t it and led us nowhere. In order for us to progress we need owners willing to invest without expecting it back or accept any progress takes time and will require selling and reinvesting

Shipley hides. Madness that we didn’t take actual real life money for him in Jan.

I actually forgot Shipley was playing until I saw his shirt number on a replay. He needs a fresh start.

I like the guy. He’s a city fan and he’s been with us through a lot but it doesn’t work for him here. It’s best that he moves on as I think he has the talent to have a decent career.

That we’re going to let him go for free in a month instead of selling him is the annoyance.

We need a plan for how you make a well supported club for this level sustainable and competitive or an admission it’s beyond their capabilities and the club putting up for sale for someone else to have a crack.

Completely agreed. It will then come down to a competitive sale price.

To be honest I feel we’ve probably reached as high as we can based on a low budget, sell and buy model. We need more investment.

The trouble is, if I have a house that somebody will only pay £100k for, yet I'm collecting £2.5k rent a month for it, I'm unlikely to sell. As usual, I've probably given a crap analogy.

I'd suggest if you're collecting that level of rent you'd already be in the premiership .

That’s the only fear I have. Very rarely in football does a club stand still. It’s either moving forward with momentum or it’s slipping back having lost it. I’d take top half championship playing good football but the likelihood is without moving forward we go backwards.

There is of course still an outside chance of a playoff spot as teams around the top 6 start faltering under pressure. Today's results show that. But, realistically I doubt we can now given the remaining fixtures. Never say never though.
But I look forward to next season. The 3 likely coming down will not offer much in the championship for me, and we have a really good side now. A couple of additions here and there to strengthen, and I think we could give it a really good go! Far better than going up too early and doing a Norwich.

I think Norwich will win the league at a canter.

It's remarkable that there's a chance we could be 3 points off the play offs by 5pm after the Blackburn game.

Makes it more frustrated that we have thrown so, so many opportunities away.

All teams that miss out will say the same. Luton have done brilliantly!

We are especially unlucky as all our players are shit

Not confident about them at all - although depends on which players the relegated teams buy.

Wow! This is your best piece of work yet. “Doing a Norwich”, as opposed to us who would be fighting for a European place.

Best part of the game for me was the derby fan getting done with the sky blue flare. Came up looking like a Smurf

On what grounds could VAR overturn that? Soft but not a clear and obvious error

To get two points from Derby, Hull, and Preston wasn't anywhere near good enough.

Heard loads of wailing sirens whilst we were walking away from the ground, but a (transport police) copper at the station told me that it hadn't kicked off - did anyone see any trouble after the game?
