Ridiculous we threw the towel in for automatic promotion 3 games ago


As You Were

Midfield
Awful lack of ambition. Must have been around 36 points left to play for at the time and only 7 points behind 2nd now. Top 2 was still achievable. Why wasn’t the manager coming out and saying he wanted us to go on an unbeaten run until the end of the season and go for it. Instead we have this complete lack of ambition again where we have decided the play offs is a good season even though we were top. We basically wrote the rest of the season off with about 12 games to go as long as we stumble across the line into the play offs it’s seen as ok. It stems from the top. Owner not desperate for promotion, neither is owner and it rubs off on players.

We threw in the towel back at end of October start of November mate when we were 5 points clear at top then drew 5 and lost 1 in a row.

Utter tosh. It’s a very young team - no one is going out to get beat or draw on purpose. From where we started last season they’ve done really well - FTM

You are a gonk
 
Plymouth at home, sitting back, swapping a leading goalscorer for a centre half trying to hold on. That was when I realistically knew it was to be another play off lottery.
 
Going big in the January transfer window was the only realistic chance we had of getting automatics. We didn’t, and we don’t have the experience, depth of killer instinct to win games at the rate that Sheffield Utd and Leeds do.

It’s about being better than everyone in the playoffs.
 
We look like a team with nothing to play for. It’s frustrating watching tonight, we were so poor until they started cheating, we then took the game to them and looked dangerous. We do have it in us which makes it even worse.
 
We’re becoming predictable to play against and we have lost our spark and flair it seems as a result.

We’re still very hard to beat which is a great quality but the draws have murdered us.

I think we’ll lost a fair few of the remaining away games to come and sadly our form going into the play offs won’t be great.
 
'Why wasn’t the manager coming out and saying he wanted us to go on an unbeaten run until the end of the season and go for it'.

And that would have made all the difference, would it? If only he'd said this, we'd be in an automatic spot by now. What an idiot RLB is.
