Might as well take an interest, its actually more interesting this season then previous ones with the emergence of Luton, Coventry and Millwall having a go. No Norwich or any of the other Yo-Yo clubs as yet.
Hoping West Brom don't sneak in as I'm rather looking forward to them going into a financial mess.
Like to see Coventry go up. Unpopular opinion I know but also think it would be good for football if Luton win the ultimate prize and get in the big time with their hammer and nails stadium. |  | | |  |

Possibly a penalty a few minutes earlier too. | | | |

What a terrible decision by ref, Lino and VAR.
Hope Barnsley have a Zamora moment. |  | | |

Who the fck is in the VAR box, Mike Reilly ? From where the ref was stood it looked an awful challenge but from the other angles fcking Ray Charles could see it wasn’t a red. I thought that was the point of VAR to give alternative angles. Should have sent the ref to the monitor | | | |

What should Luton do……
Keep player acquisitions to a bare minimum and as low cost as possible and bank as much as they can which will help even more with the new stadium and take a hammering for 38 games.
Go for it and spend every penny on players and absurd agent fees in the hope to finish 17th |  | | |

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I suspect the jury is still out on Forest's transfer strategy, and its implications for their club's financial wellbeing. I think Luton have sensible people running the club, so I don't see them going down that well worn path to self destruction. |  | | |

Sheff Weds just done a Zamora+ by scoring in the last seconds of extra time.
Harsh on Barnsley. | | | |

Modern football is so corrupt
The little club gets shafted once again |  |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

That’s another full house at HQ. They bring big numbers.
Leeds , Southampton, Wednesday, Leicester and Ipswich .
Tough league next season. | | | |

Shame the result was influenced by two poor decisions against Barnsley in the second half. However, Peterborough threw it away and should have been Barnsley's opponent today without any big club favours to Wednesday being necessary.
With the departures of Luton, Wigan and Blackpool it would appear we have dropped further down the budget league for next season which is why I had hoped Barnsley or Peterborough came up. |  | | |

How good is Barry Bannan. He ran that game and was absolutely everywhere!
I have no doubt that he will personally take us apart twice next season unfortunately! |  | | |

Good post the Ref would have changed both calls if called over IMO.
Never a red card just caught the guy with his trailing leg and was actually trying to sidefoot the ball instead of full bore . The SW players intemidated the ref I think
Stonewall penalty to Barnsley those are given every weekend in the PL and nobody even complains .
Shocking miss by the kid for Barnsley to miss that empty net but he was exhausted.
Stunning saves from their keeper too shame he could not palm that away for the winner he got hands on it .
SW probably deserved the cup but the ref killed it for Barnsley |  | | |

He didn't before, but he is a good player.
I am not so worried about SW, they have an ageing team, and I suspect this will be very much exposed in the Champ, whereas we have seen it is full-on for everyone all the time. |  |

I am supporting Carlisle today because:
a) They’re my brother-in-law’s team.
b) They sold us Stan Bowles
c) They despatched Hughesless in the semi.
Come on the Cumbrians! |
I hope they get to play Reading at home on a Tuesday night. |  | | |

Just back from Wembley.
My mates a big owls fan and bought me a tick.
Very poor game.
Bannon was best player on pitch by a country mile.
I reckon we would have won that easily. | | | |

It's honestly enough to put you off. Other than QPR and England I can't be bothered with football anymore. | | | |

Definite penalty but I think the red card was the correct call. Incredible saves from the Barnsley GK and some great defensive blocks too, harsh to lose it like that. |  |

Seems that way, the way they came back from the dead against Peterborough and then had decisions go their way today. | | | |

Jack Hunt, 32
Barry Bannan, 33
Lee Gregory, 34
I'm far from convinced SW will have the legs for a 46 game Championship. |  |

Be interesting to see how it goes but of the recently promoted cohort, Sunderland used the more lenient FFP situation to put together a young team capable of going into the Championship and performing again with few additions under the less favourable rules. Wigan put together a crusty old team that minced meat in League One but needed major surgery to get it up to Champ standards which they had neither the money nor FFP space to do. Sheff Wed, it looks like a convalescence home. The average age of their team this year is 28.5, it's by far the oldest in League One. I'd be astonished if their wage bill isn't the highest in the league by a distance. They've basically done what they always do: committed wages to people they've heard of to get them through the next six games. They'll now need to do major surgery on a team, while also massively over budget, in harsher FFP circumstances.
