Not exactly confident we can beat Bolton over 2 legs but at least we managed the playoff spot in the end.

Thought we started off okay and seemed a bit more direct but then after about half an...

Feeling a bit nervy now but it’s in our own hands. Just need to go out and do the job.

I’ve been saying on here for weeks, throughout our really poor form, that we will get in the playoffs but I...

I’m absolutely stunned by that. I know there’s been a fair share of disgruntled fans but the timing is odd, in my opinion.

Was slightly better second half but still overall nowhere near good enough.

Imagine if we somehow go up through the playoffs and this squad is in the championship…. Frightening. Think that idea...

That first half was awful. All what needs to be said.

Talk about strange timing. Not sure why they didn’t just wait until the season is over in a couple of weeks.

Agree with that. We play so much quicker and with much more intent away from home. I just wish we wouldn’t gift teams with penalties and free headers.

If we attack like we did tonight, then we...

Gutted by the end to that game to be honest.

Stupid from McAtee. Whether it was soft or not, it gives the ref a decision to make and in front of this crowd, refs at this level will always give...

Been a much tighter game than most predicted. So far anyway.

We looked decent going forward, getting numbers forward. Defensively though, we look lost again. I said it would be 2-2 this and that...

I think we will get in the playoffs, but could well just be scraping into 6th at this rate.

Anything can happen when in them but I’m not particularly confident as of right now. Who knows, if we...

I imagine Fratton Park will be bouncing in anticipation of promotion/winning the league. If we give (gift) them a goal in the first 15 minutes, it could be a cricket score. Let’s hope a few of our...

We are an absolute shambles defensively. As a whole unit we can’t even do the basics. We need to make sure that Pines is fit for next season and also bring in another big unit who can play when/if...

Will also be there next season in my seat in the West Stand. Hopefully the home form will be a bit better!

I still maintain that we will finish in the top 6. That being said, if we go into the playoff semis with how we’ve played the last few games, I’m not expecting another Wembley trip.

Very poor game.

I don’t think I’ve ever known us as bad defensively as a collective unit as this.

Said in the Kane thread that I’d have him in the team ahead of Russell.

Rest of it seems okay. Cosgrove and McAtee have linked up well in recent weeks in my opinion so hopefully both will have...

Not selected again tonight. Would be in the team ahead of Big Jon for me.

Going to be a tight, cagey game I reckon.

I’d bring Kane back into the team for Russell. I do want to give Jalo more minutes but I feel like against Stevenage he would just get kicked in the air....

Wasn’t the most gifted of players I’ve seen play for us but always ran his heart out. I remember one game towards the end of the season he was carried off the pitch after the final whistle. Seemed...

I’d have Kane in the team too. Our best midfield 3 is Kane, Connell and Phillips in my opinion.

I actually thought first half we weren’t too bad. Cole missed a sitter, he should’ve had a penalty and McAtee missed a big chance too.

Defensively though we are so poor. Any bit of pressure and...

I’d like it if the 3 Yorkshire sides all came down. Could do with some Yorkshire derbies next season after none this season.

Agreed. Him not performing at Sunderland doesn’t benefit anyone apart from the “I told you so” brigade who can revel in him not being signed by Sunderland.

I thought Styles took a lot of stick...

Yeah certainly a change up. Feel it needed at home, not so much away but I guess we will soon see.

Can usually work out the formation we play (we don’t often change it to be fair) but I’m struggling with today. I guess we’ll see in just under an hour.
