Just desperate for him to stay.

Not arsed about the rest.

We're in the shit now lads

The subs...honest to Christ what the **** was he playing at

I'm just excited to see who 0,-1 and -2 are 

They'll be 1000's going to general sale.

Was probably my favourite player at one point growing up, bombing down the wing in O'Leary's first season in those white Mizuno boots.

****.

Remember those, I sat in the Trinity as a kid that season and he was great linking up with Vass and Barry attacking the north end.. Really silky player beating players with feints and cuts inside - nearly scored a worldy against Leeds doing that. Probably remember the performances of him that season more vividly than any player since

So gutted, RIP J LO.

Great performance.

Love how we are handling traore, no fouls on him which is basically pulls's gameplan for set pieces.

Keith Andrews looks like my nan.

Good read for those Friday morning work dossers like myself.

Off topic player-wise, but i've seen Snodgrass get quite a few good mentions from players and manager over the past few months. Seems like he is key player in the dressing room.

Funny seeing 'arry in that clip as I was just chatting to him about being there with qpr last week (while he was not mowing my lawn very well). He'd just played golf with Peter McParland and been discussing Bruce getting us up. #csb

I love that Harry Redknapp mows your lawn.

Feeling very nervous already, I would love to come away from the Riverside all square (in some ways, I think I would prefer that than an odd-goal Villa win as I think we would find a way to blow it as clear favourites).

I think Bruce will go;

Johnstone, Elmohamady, Chester, Terry, Hutton, Snodgrass, Jedinak, Hourihane, Adomah, Grealish, Grabban.

Not sure if I agree, not easy to call. 

 

I do sometimes worry about the quality of our play and our ability to match teams with pace, but looking at that team and the amount of big game experience it has, it is unbelievable for a championship side. It's got play off finals experience, fa cup finals, internationals playing at world cups/euros etc.) and they have pretty much all performed consistently well at premiership level at some stage of their career. In fact, I doubt there has ever been a side close to that level of experience in the play offs.

I think that's key in games that will be tight and probably won't be full of quality.

I also like Kodija as our wildcard, if we do it....I can see him playing a big part at some point and might just give us that 'Hernandez moment' Hull had a few years ago in the final which ultimately sent them up. 

Tbf, considering the mess we'll be in financially if we don't go up (and the fact we've had an owner pump close to 150mill into the club in two years to get us here), I don't begrudge the club not taking the unprecedented step of giving free playoff tickets away, no matter how small the actual revenue might be.

Always thought of Luke1977 as clothes for tw*ts tbh. Vaguely remember Craig Gardner looking like a serial killer head to toe in the stuff a few years back.

Still, the banta brigade in the Holte end will approve.

Wow Bridcott, how does a midfielder go 221 games without a goal? U'd think you would get at least a couple by accident in that time 

Why do these mongs come out to **** parklife

Awful

Double sub at halftime please 

Shit

When you don't have much pace in the side you need imagination. We have neither.

Looks like a 70th minute flood the pitch with strikers job here

I hope those other 4 people who voted tuanzabe for motm were taking the piss like I was.

Kodj to bring a bit of desperately needed unpredictability

The right back is struggling so bad

We don't deserve to go up

awful, capped off an awful week now i have to re mortgage the house after Cheltenham.

we've looked awful since he's flooded it with subs, sums him up.

the Icelandic is absolutely awful, no right to be anywhere near the 18
