We would have lost on Pens - strange I am not too bothered - see you all in August have a fab summer love you all xxx

So obvious

Sheff utd will go up

Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester will be too strong and bounce straight back with parachute payments next year.

Mid table mediocrity

Can't be arsed

Why would we suddenly become a mid table team?

 

[Alkhen]

Not defending his form he's been shite but it's just that.. form. We know he can do it

 

[Matt smith]

Just want the season to start now

 

[Danceswithhorses]

A

A decent keeper punches that away, takes responsibility.

Harsh.
The ball was whipped in at speed, so not enough time to come out and punch.
Ballard? had lost his marker, so had a free, but difficult header.

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

fuck off keiran, now ain't the time

Learn to spell nonce

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

Wow. Gutting but how proud of every single one of them players we should be (minus Wright)

 

[larry_david]

Penalties presumably.

I really like him, but I wonder if it might be time to cash in. Lack of form is ok, you accept that, especially in forwards, but it's the lack of battle when things aren't going his way.

That bit at the end where bta played him I'm and it was 70-30 his favour and he bottled with it with o nien. Unforgivable

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Bring on next season, can’t go to Wembley every season

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

Against some extremely stiff competition, I think you might be the least intelligent person on the board.

Yet I probably do one of the most advanced jobs in the world .

 

[Ian1779]

How on Earth you can watch it I don’t know

Couldn’t be arsed to turn it off… too gutted

 

[David O'Day]

Wright was shit, Wright was brilliant and basically our attack for a period before he got injured

 

[colinc]

Super proud of that performance, Sunderland deserved nothing from that game, but that's football and unfortunately our performance will be forgotten by most people by tomorrow , but we deserved to win and I will take some comfort when Sheffield stuff Sunderland in the final

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Given how the two matches went you would have thought it would be us with the legs and energy in the second half ET

 

[worldcupwillie]

Great effort from the team. Sickener of a result, we dominated the game. We regroup for next season! PUSB

 

[Ian1779]

Easy to be when you've just won. The bloke is a grade a c**t.

We need a couple of those in our squad.

 

[Jamesimus]

Credit to Sunderland, they have quality in the right places. Mayenda very good again. I don’t rate Ballard as a “footballer” but he is a good defender. I’ll be surprised if they can beat Sheffield United, but they’re in the lottery now so who knows.

Next season I want us to be a sustained top 6 team for the duration of the season, hopefully with some new forward signings who can effect the game a little more in this system.

 

[Shannerz]

Probably be a good idea for everyone to log off for the night and take a few deep breath's rather than start calling out all our players

Everybody else was brilliant.

Saka's an absolute gem.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester will be too strong and bounce straight back with parachute payments next year.

Maybe, but if the league put the boots to Leicester as they should and there’s no guarantee Ipswich replace well after they get raided for their best players.
We can make another go of it next year, and looks a better year to try than this season did.

 

[Covstar]

Gut wrenching way again to lose in the play offs but let's reflect on another great year.

We have not played the best football this season but we have done incredibly well to find ways to win games when not playing well. To get up from 17th in November - same points as Luton town to 5th shows heart and desire. This team has shown a lot of that this season. Today, as well as on Friday we were unlucky not to get the win we needed.

C'est la vie. Amazing support from us this year at the Ricoh, let's do it again next season. Have a good summer all.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hopefully they get twatted by Hamer and co and we can two foot the lot of them next season.

 

[Marty]

Yep should be a man in front and Kitching lost his man
Sometimes it’s just not your time

Looked like it should have been Wrights/Asantes ball, both near post, both get sucked in. Absolute room temperature IQ from the pair of them.

 

[Seymour_East]

Good season after a dramatic start that should have been up for a BAFTA. Well played tonight, gave it all, Tats a brilliant performance, Wright the worst I’ve seen anyone play especially with what was at stake. Mental Health Awareness Week everyone, so despite the result, take care of yourselves. See you next season.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Should be taking every out

We watch week in week out our crosses being claimed yet our goalkeepers don’t advance out the 6yd box to catch anything! Puts us under so much pressure! Frustrating

 

[David O'Day]

Yet I probably do one of the most advanced jobs in the world .

I guess it is "advanced" juggling ubereats, deliveroo and just eat

 

[Cov98]

Yes I'm sure he was being kept on for pens.

As for your second point BTA would be more likely to track back with fresher legs so that's why he went wide.

Yeah good point tbf.

It's a sickener to lose late on like that but all in all I'm not too upset.

Sunderland will get pasted playing like that in the final you'd imagine and in all honesty we didn't have a chance either.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

If you can get more than £2.50 for Wright take it. We played with ten men both games

 

[Domo]

Smarmy c**t O'Nien, hope he wraps his car around a tree on the way home. Club should be doing everything they can to get him suspended for the final after his cheating.

jesus christ, bit dark

 

[Houchens Head]

Get rid of Wright. He's just not got his heart in this club!
Automatics next year lads!!!

 

[DT-R]

People are slating Wright and usually post heartbreak emotions cloud the judgement.

But I can honestly say Wright has been shambolic the last month of this season. He's failed to control every ball, he's lost every ball, he's been slow, lethargic.

How on earth Lampard left him on I don't think I will ever know

ONLY reason he's stayed on is with Penalties in mind

[SkyblueTexan]

Just want the season to start now

We're not ready yet. Need a full summer and preseason to sort things out. Clear the deadwood, build a solid defence first and then other areas as well.

 

[OldBedrocker]

I'd start Patterson on the left, Wright upfront, and bring Allen in to midfield instead of Sheaf.

That's as undeserved a result as you will see.

You can't really fault the effort, but that's an absolute sickener against a team that has offered very little over two legs of football.

Wright's been shocking since he's come back from injury, bar that one game. Awful. When he's off it, he's got no fight at all. You can't really excuse that.

You can’t excuse keeping him on.
Poor subs. If EMC is injured bring on Patterson and play BTA through the middle.

 

[Shannerz]

Mayenda very good again.

To be fair, he's looked an absolute player.

 

[Briles]

Sakamoto motm by a mile

 

[shmmeee]

Bring on the transfer rumours
