Should have played Stephens after all v Leicester the other night. RM is right - we didn't lose 5-0 today. What an odd season this has been. In the play offs while always looking susceptible to dropping bollox all season. I expect RM will do his best to over think the play off games but I genuinely don't know how the matches will pan out.

I'm assuming sports direct are indifferent about going up anyway. Their finances will be much more transparent in the top flight.

Firstly l don’t want to hear anymore about ho we have the most talented squad in this league,what l can’t figure out is we played so well to go undefeated for 20 plus games and then it all turned to crap so fast.Something has to happen real fast to turn this around or we will be back here next year.If l am being honest l can’t see us getting passed the playoffs but l hope l am wrong.I still hold out hope but these last few performances do not feel me with a lot of confidence.

At last some reliability. Shite every week now. And only four changes in the starting eleven so plenty of familiarity in the style of play.

Woeful performance lacking pace, aggression, any clear efforts on goal. Meandering nowhere at present.

Looked like a pre season friendly from the Saints side. If any of the fringe players were trying to make a case to start they failed miserably.

What a load of rubbish, out played by a team fighting relegation!! We don't have a hope in the playoffs
We need to get rid of all the deadwood in the summer and start from scratch at building a new team.
We also need a good manager not this clown!

At least we got another Look at how shite Mara really is.

In what was in effect a meaningless game, in terms of result, we could have given a couple of kids a run. All that has been learned from this dreadful performance is that we have far too many wingers, a pretty lightweight midfield (without Downes) and complete lack of cover centrally in attack.
I feel a bit sorry for Mara as you can see there is ability there but the drive and enthusiasm is missing. We have witnessed some great forward runs across the front line, all season, go wasted due to, either instructions to keep ball or lack of vision from midfield. And the keep ball style of play means the majority of passes require the receiver to turn back towards his own goal, when collecting the pass as a safety measure. I've enjoyed most of this season, home and away but have also been incredibly frustrated at times in the knowledge that a bit more adventure would have secured the points that we needed for promotion!
Lets get the selection correct for the paly offs please?

Dear oh dear.
Stoke turned up and we did not until the subs started to arrive. Stoke could and should have won this by a bigger margin.
All the faults we have seen this season were present. No shape, intricate passing at the back inviting trouble, no ability in the forwards to hold the ball, too many players not interested or not good enough.
Going to be hard to get this team back to the one that was in a record beating run of wins/draws.
