But drew 18. It shows we can't kill off team and lack a cutting edge."Overwhelm us" We've lost 3 games all season the worst result being 3 - 1 to Portsmouth. I don't think we'll be going out without a fight.

Teams aren't fearing going 1-0 down to Sunderland. They know the can get back in the game. Only team i've seen put up little or no fight against us was Doncaster last weekBut drew 18. It shows we can't kill off team and lack a cutting edge.
I would hope not, mate"Overwhelm us" We've lost 3 games all season the worst result being 3 - 1 to Portsmouth. I don't think we'll be going out without a fight.
I disagree. If someone told me on the way over the Wearmouth bridge to watch us against Charlton back in August that we were going to finish the season in - let’s just say for argument’s sake - 7th, I would have said “hmmm, well at least we’re going to stop the rot, not get humped every week and see a few wins, that’ll do”.No it's not. At the start of the season we all wanted promotion. Anything else is a failure.
Motm went to McGeadyI never said I wanted rid.
You think he had a good game?
So much so he had to be hauled off after standing there watching his man run by and double up on Oviedo. MOTM Friday was between Charlie Wyke and Lewis Morgan, and a nod for Cattermole too.
You wouldn't regard failure as a failure eh? Are you the club's new spin doctor?I disagree.

Of course I want better, but I wouldn’t regard failure to get promoted this season as a failure. Next season - assuming stability this summer in terms of club ownership and manager - it would be different.
See for example Sheffield United, who narrowly missed out in 2012 and stayed down 5 more years. You have to sieze your chances, you can't bank on having success 'next year'.It's not a blessing in disguise as there have been plenty of well run smaller clubs than us who have thrived in the Championship and above. There is a real danger that we descend into a mediocre League 1 side, if we're not that already, and languish at that level for a few years. The enjoyment of playing different teams and winning a few games this season, which has seen excellent attendances home and away this year, will soon wear off next season as few have enjoyed the football.
Fearful of this but we’ve got to keep the faith, however hard it may beWe will get papped out of the play offs in the semis. A bit of pressure and this team crumbles.

I'll be disappointed if we bow out this weekend mindI would hope not, mate
Yeah can't argue with that mindBut drew 18. It shows we can't kill off team and lack a cutting edge.
It wouldn’t be the same players if we got into the championship so don’t see your point.This team would get thumped every other week in the championship.
Disappointed we've thrown two golden opportunities away this season which could have had us challenging for the title.
But failing to win in nearly half the games this season, after the money spent, smashing the league one record, just shows they aren't good enough.
I'd be amazed if we win the playoffs.

Havwe Charlton come to close to even beating us this season, never mind "thrashing" us?I can see Charlton dishing out a proper hiding to us in the play offs. No blessing in disguise about it.
Yeah looking foreward to a good gameI'll be disappointed if we bow out this weekend mind
Yeah can't argue with that mind
What an oddly negative slant to put on a season where we are on course for 90+ points, lost 3 out of 43 and scored close to 100 goals

I think "battered" is a bit strong. You also seem to be ignoring the fact that we "battered" them in the first halfThey battered us in the 2nd half down there. Just a hunch, hopefully way off the mark.
Tell me mate. Sick of asking on here tbh but who is going to take McGeady’s contract on?Has a big affect money wise though, McGeady will go...plus others so no it’s not a blessing in disguise
Nah mateI can see Charlton dishing out a proper hiding to us in the play offs. No blessing in disguise about it.
Fuck off, man. I’m absolutely sick of these creeping justifications for us not getting promoted this season.This team would get thumped every other week in the championship.
