I am not blowing my own trumpet here at all. Just wanting to restate the fact that teams at the bottom pull out wins at the death. It was on the cards.

It happens and has always happened throughout footballing history.

4 of the bottom 5 clubs won today. It's the end of the season, it's cup finals all round.

We need to learn from this. Luton is going to be very, very tough.

It wouldn’t have happened if we had not got Clown Collins in goal. He was really at fault for all 3 and no one can legislate for MVE doing an Andy Spring tribute act for 90 minutes

That tiny Kenilworth Rd pitch, opposition must win, our bottlers won’t have it in them.

I don’t think we could have played to Plymouth’s strengths anymore if we tried. I get respect the opposition but we got it totally wrong today

Sidenote.. Simms has to go in the summer, not good enough

Latibeaudiere is the defender who, from an oppo POV, you want your team to pick on. Get the ball near him.

Perhaps some of our fans might now realize playing teams fighting against relegation isn't a given three points for any side. They are one off cup ties at this stage of the season. League positions mean nothing.

Yup. Indeed.

That was awful, we just don't have a clue how to play against big hoof ball teams and doesn't help having a clown in goal but then again the players in front of him weren't much better. Everything we did looked so laboured, was that 3 games in a week catching up with us. Results went our way that's the only good thing we can take from today

Can't see it ending any other way than going to a very nervy last game of season

Leeds can beat Bristol
But Bristol will best Preston

Boro will prob best Norwich
Toss up Vs us

We can win both or lose both! But no way we can clinch without a favour from norwich

Agree on the last away game but they are on a bit of a wobble and play offs is a different battle.
But.. 3rd get their home game in the second leg so tough again though.

I agree, but it might be irrelevant as now we just have to beat Boro, which I'd fancy us to do all day at home.

Does anyone have a way of finding out if anyone's conceded more goals vs. how many shots on target faced? Might be a league table where we'd be top!
Click to expand...

This doesn't include today's result but we have the fourth worst save percentage in the league at 64.7%

That is entirely thanks to Brad Collins.

Dovin 70%
Wilson 69%
Collins..... 51%

Yeah. I think maybe we were a bit leggy.

We played Monday night didn't we, when everyone else played on the Saturday.

3 games in a week and maybe it showed.

Fully expect Bassette to be prime R9
DaSilva to be prime Maldini
And Sheaf to be prime Pirlo by the time the hindsight police finish tonight

But it’s true. That’s a fucking horror challenge.
It’s possible to point out it’s a blatant straight red, and that we played shit and for both statements to be 100% accurate

I'd be more worried if I was a Bristol City fan now. They could have booked their place today but were as abject as us, have Leeds next and know us Boro or both will be picking up points final day.

Agreed, but the post I quoted was looking to the ref for the defeat, rather than the shit performance.

Well, MASSIVE fail from Lamps today. Thought he could rest Sheaf and Dasilva and play Allen and Bidders and coast against a poor team. Both poor decisions. This close to the end of the season with this much at steak, you play your strongest possible starting 11 regardless of opponent. Poor decision for me. Would the red card of changed the outcome of the game? Most likely, but let's be honest, we didn't want it today. Dog shit from back to front, from start to finish. Up there with both Derby games as one of our worst performances, not just this season, but in recent history. Same as v Hull, just not up for the fight or aggressive enough and far too slow and lacklustre when we have the ball.

See above scenario. If Leeds win heavily and we both win at the weekend a draw secures it for both of us.

We’ve got two away games left (if we finish in the play offs)

I’d rather we stink the place out in a 5-3-2 than try to control the game in a 4-3-3

If we start with a 4 against Luton we might as well all back Luton to score 1.5+ and all make some money

Where is the physicality and aggression Wright showed v Sunderland? He was awful again today and guilty of missing another simple chance with his head. He certainly isn't the reason for losing today but so frustrating when he has the capability to be a physical handful and is mostly anything but.

It wasn't a horror challenge, it was late and aggressive. It's the type of challenge Michael Doyle used to do every week. It was a yellow.

Missed opportunity today. We've got to smarten ourselves up away from home . We need our best 11 starting and Collins dropped

At home I'd say so yes. Boro have their own problems. It'll be nervy obviously but I'd have taken needing to beat Boro to get in at most points this season and I'm sure everyone else would have too.
