Every single one of our 'gutted' players need to take a long hard look at themselves. Hackney was one of the best of a bad bunch to be fair to him but even still he was part of a team that were regularly out fought by technically inferior opposition. The sacking of Carrick is as much on them as...

Maybe, although I suspect sentimentality wouldn't come into it had our front 4 not been woeful for the second half of the season. When you have the likes of Ihenacho just strolling about compared to someone like Watmore that always put a shift in and tried to impact a game you can see why people...

I think that just shows how far we've fallen. He was good when he was here but rightly moved on as not quite good enough for a side supposedly seriously chasing promotion.

So was Luke Thomas!

What makes it really annoying is the standard this year was so poor and if we'd just sacked him earlier in the season like so many wanted i think we'd be comfortably in the play offs.

No more slithers of hope. Carrick and Woodgate out ASAP.

Everything going our way and we don't look interested. Wholesale clearout needed in the summer.

I wouldn't be averse to giving Leo the chance as caretaker again once the playoffs are mathmetically gone. At least we'd see one or two of the youth given a chance like last time and maybe find the next good prospect before the new man comes in close season.

Thought this was a thread about Steve!

The expectation was certainly there for me and plenty of others I spoke to in terms of being in the mix for automatic promotion. I accepted we'd perhaps not quite be strong enough for top 2 but but a good solid 3rd or 4th finish and getting to Wembley were realistic with the squad we've got and...

Started of with so much hope and expectation. It's crazy to think we still have a chance of making the playoffs albeit even if we did scrape in i think winning a single game against any of those sides looks beyond us. Another close season of fundamental change beckons I think. Hopefully we get...

Ah, and there we go. I take no pleasure in this.

Dijksteel and Borgess are both recognised defenders and Howson has played there loads. Defensive shape is more about how we set up without the ball anyway and make it difficult for the opposition to play. I'm being a bit disingenuous as I know what you are getting at, I just find it...

Organisation off the ball and a solid defensive shape so we don't get played through and give up chances easily.

Great results, credit where it's due for a good battling performance.
