thing is, even if we do reach the play-offs, chances are, with a performance like today, we'll feck it up again...
All over for this season now.
Sadly, when it came to the pressure games we were not strong enough.
If Sven intends to stay, he now has the time and opportunity to sort things out for next season.

He said he was aiming for promotion within 2 years so hopefully he can build a squad in the summer and next season we can achieve something.
I agree with that too
I said in a thread, I think after the Cardiff game, when I was quite drunk that I was still convinced we'd get to the playoffs, but we wouldn't win them.
I still think that. I just don't think we're as good as the other teams up there... and the last 3 games are backing that up, unfortunately.
Agreed. I don't rush to judgements, either when we're winning games or losing. But this run of results means reaching the play-offs would probably need another 8 wins this season, and I can't see that happening.
Shame it seems to have coincided with some tinkering of the team and formation, when we were flying with a settled side.
We're in a good position, as a club, for the first time in a long while and it'd take fool to suggest otherw*s*. It's just such a disappointment because we were in with a half decent shout. Ricardo was one change too many I feel, whilst it isn't his fault we lost this game I do fear he has been an unwelcome disruption to the team and fans.
I'm hoping he hasn't rebuilt his reputation sufficiently to take a Blackburn-type job in the summer. That's my main concern.
