Would certainly be something if the team who sold us their top defender because they were in dire financial straits ended up pipping us to the playoffs. No excuses about ffp, parachute payments or anything else can paint that as anything other than a huge failure. I don't even want to consider that Mowbray's Sunderland might finish above us, although I imagine some people would be fine with that. I like JDT but we have no excuse for finishing below the likes of Coventry and Sunderland (who have an even worse striker situation than us), so let's sort this out on Wednesday before the season becomes another crushing disappointment.

Ah, yes, it was Sherwood. I can remember as a kid feeling utterly robbed when that was disallowed - still pisses me off now, despite knowing how that season ended.

United essentially cheated to beat us in both league matches in 94/95. The ridiculous sending off of Henning Berg in the first match and Shearer's goal being inexplicably disallowed in the second. The final day of that season, even though we lost, was justice being done.

12 goals conceded in our last 6 games in all comps is our problem. It isn't bad luck, it's poor defensive work and a major issue when we don't have any decent strikers at the club. We're down there with the lowest scorers in the division so we simply can't afford to have a leaky defence.

The referees at the WC showed how it needs to be done. Add on as much time as is needed, even if on the surface it looks ridiculous. As for why referees here don't do that... I'm sure it all circles back to where the money trail leads.

Probably would have concluded with them making it 3-1 anyway. We know the script. Maybe this will work in our favour.

Hopefully a sign that the clock is ticking on Gallagher's time here. One of the first that needs to be shown the door in the summer, even if we make a significant loss on him.

Just unfortunate that we've given ourselves a huge mountain to climb again. That defensive solidity that fuelled our playoff charge has evaporated recently. Puts too much pressure on our weak frontline to score goals, which none of them have been especially good at since November or so.

We all saw this coming. Club needs a proper clear out of Mowbray's rubber dinghy men in the summer. I'm tired of these players mentally collapsing over and over again. Problem is the budget probably isn't there for such an overhaul.

Hudds have only won 7 out of 20 home games, but we've only won 6 out of 20 away games... so ultimately two poor teams scrapping it out for the points. Think it could go either way, but after yesterday's abject surrender I'm expecting us to finish outside of the top six regardless now. I just don't think we have enough in attack to get us over the line.

Think this is it for us. Awful result at home against a team directly below us. At the very least this was a must not lose. Failing to secure O'Brien and a striker was a killer blow, as most of us predicted it would be.

Appreciate this thread is pretty much dead nowadays, but it's been a wild few days so posting my thoughts into the void regardless... WM Night 1 - fantastic show. Logical finishes, well paced, great matches. Excellent job all around. WM Night 2 - killed all momentum. Brock/Omos was actually alright. Women's tag sucked. Lashley appearing for 20 seconds to carry his pointless trophy was idiotic. Reportedly he and LA Knight were supposed to have a segment but it was cut at the last minute. I wonder who could have done that? Three way for the IC title was awesome. Bianca and Asuka's match was fine, but Bianca winning again is extremely boring. The Shane/Miz/Snoop segment was a car crash. HIAC match was good, even after Balor got busted open after Edge yeeted that ladder at him, but I question Edge going over. Main event was great until the ending, which was a complete joke and wrecked the story they've been telling. The Bloodline storyline peaked at Elimination Chamber and they weren't brave enough pull the trigger on Zayn. Momentum was still there for Cody but they passed on that too. Now I just don't care. WWE then announces it's been sold to Endeavour, UFC owners. Pretty much comes out of nowhere. WWE is officially no longer owned by the McMahon family - however... Vince is now back in charge, fully. He most likely was the reason WM Night 2 sucked, and is conclusively the reason why last night's Raw was 90% shit. By all accounts it was back to the bad old days all around. It's been a good run for the past 6 months, for the most part, but that'll be me done with WWE again. AEW may not be great right now, but I appreciate that it's there.

No they definitely need to keep him. Keep up the good work Potts.

Not a surprise. Give us a lot of possession and we tie ourselves in knots. We're far better when it's the other way around. Not sure if Brum did it on purpose, mind, as with an actual striker on the field we would have won today.

Game was over as soon as they scored. We still lack that strength to fight back when needed. When you look at our GD compared to the teams around us we'll have done amazingly well to get 6th if we do scrape it.

Tbf we rarely respond to going behind so it's par the course. Much more likely to finish 2-0 than 1-1, although I'm hoping this comment will prove to be a bad luck charm for Brum.

I'd keep Dack for an extra year if possible, as he has that special something - even after his injuries - which can turn a game out of nowhere. Obviously a lot depends on where JDT sees Dack fitting in, and where Dack sees himself fitting in. There would obviously be some risk in triggering the extension if Dack wasn't happy with what our plans were for him next season. Imagine what could end up on Twitter 😨 As far as Ayala is concerned, we'll be fine without him. Big wage, spends at least half of every season injured or otherwise unavailable. He's been decent for a free transfer, but best for all parties to move on.

Only one word can sum up Coley's time here...

It took disastrous foreign ownership reducing the club to a zombie-like state and parasitical agents leeching the club of everything decent for Burnley to finally claw themselves above us. If they want to crow about that then fine, but if that was how I'd gained superiority I'd probably keep quiet over what would be a hollow victory at best.

Well, at least we didn't have two players and our manager sent off.

A quick reminder that personal attacks aren't allowed. Keep it civil. Not sure I'd call Bowyer recent, but with that said I'm sure Mowbray did something like this and I've just forgotten. I just hated the inevitability of the last ten minutes. So obvious what was coming. Heads just totally went, with Sheff Utd piling forward, summed up by Morton and his nonsense. Ref still the biggest factor in the result though. We should have been playing 10, and I don't think we lose if so.

We got away with not taking our chances against Leicester. We didn't today. JDT meanwhile blew it spectacularly with his subs. Hard to remember a recent game where a manager has so brutally sabotaged his own team. Should be remembered that Sheff Utd should have played most of this match with 10 though. The ref was their 12th man today. Not that they'll care, as we wouldn't. Another sickening day to be a Rovers supporter under Venkys.

A combined bottlejob of epic proportions from the manager and the team.

Same old story. Don't take chances, pay the price.

Make some changes, shore things up and try to nick a third as Sheff Utd flood forward to try and equalise.
