And whilst everyone is perfectly entitled to their opinion, there are a few who need to put the plastic sheets on tonight with all the bed wetting!!!

Yes we were shite! Taylor will never have a worse game. Ruffels looked like he'd never played before rather than having 300 games under his belt. Henry could have been swapped with one of the playoff cardboard cut outs and been better. The rest weren't much better - in fact Eastwood was possibly our best player, or even Atkinson for a 10 second run!

But it's only one game in a nothing competition that we wouldn't be able to go to Wembley for anyway! Get that all out the system now, have a much needed day off and get our heads on for Ipswich.

Still plenty of football left this season and hopefully none of it will be on Sky!!
I thought Shodipo was our best player. Henry, Hall, Grayson, Ruffs particularly weak. Hanson is better in CdM. And Taylor will never miss so many chances. But I am more embarrassed by the performance in front of the cameras than I am missing out on a Wembley final.
 
As long as this does not effect our league form I am not bothered. The boys just need to forget this one write if off like it never happened and on to the next one.

With Pompey losing tonight and Ipswich only managing a draw it's good for us.

Game In hand over all of those above us bar donny..

Forget this mess.
 
I’d love to do a Mr & Mrs on you two 🤣
Married for 39 years this year just glad she has a sense of humour and patience of a saint. She love coming to football with me gets a bit annoyed with some expletives that I come out with ( only at football ) but she has learned one saying “ never referee he dived ) U.K. teaching her the build me up in yellow and blue song and inbreds and roundabouts ready form try e day we play them again with a crowd.
 
I will rapidly forget this upset as we pursue promotion, but not before I have lamented the loss of a real opportunity to actually win something.
Many of the players out there tonight will never get that chance and some fans may not live to see it either. Chances come and go in life and while it is only a game, there is an elation in winning for the whole club and it’s supporters that is hard to beat.
Oh well, let’s win the league then.
 
Surprised about the criticism of Sykes from some. Considering he's been brought in from the cold and asked to play a lot of minutes in two consecutive matches, I thought he was okay (at the very least he was no where near one of our worst performers).
Sykes was one of the better players today. The fact he played 90 minutes today tells you KR thought so too.
