I might still call in on here from time to time to see which league reading are in

Don't spoil things for us by mentioning the premiership thread, at least let me and hobbit enjoy it for a while.

I'm we'll pop back and give you all the benefit of our undoubted experience and knowledge.

Take out Brighton's mid season blip and you'd have walked away with that division. I sat down 5 matches back and had Burnley top, you second and Boro third. Your draw last week is the only fixture I got wrong.

Your number 7 is a very tidy player. Took Boro 35mins to realise he was picking the ball up in acres of space just in front of your back 4 and bringing it out. Once we pushed up on him, and closed the space down I didn't think you were as effective. Started playing lots of long balls out of defence. Stuani was good till about half time, and should have been replaced by Nugent.

If it had been a boxing match we would have been comfortable, but it wasn't and we never got that second goal in the first half.

If Hull find a bit of form I'd say you've got a tough final. Stop Wednesday's wingers and you'll beat them comfortably.

 

[Norrin Radd]

i think Derby will be tough ,i think we can take Wednesday ,as our full backs Bruno and Rosenior are pretty good players.
just going to need C H to get our heads up for the playoffs.

Well done The Boro got some very happy nieces and great nephews

How many shandys did you have before kick off bri, didn't you notice that Nugent started the game

 

[Oxfordcomma]

I don't understand. All this talk of Boro and nothing about the mighty Oxford getting promotion to League 1? :whoo:

Bolton boys, might have to see if I can make that game next year and arrange a knock before or after. Would be good to have the southern softies doing a double over you, on the course and on the pitch ...

Terriers completed a shocking run in with another heavy home defeat.....doesn't bode well for next season.

Well I did say lasy year that I wouldn't post again in this thread until the Oystons had left Blackpool but as this season turned out even worse than expected I had to revisit this thread.
How the hell can a club with millions in the bank go from the Premier League to Div 2 in just 5 years? Answer when you have owners who aren't interested in football. It really is disgusting. The manager, who has put on a brave face all season, said today that Lee Clark (last seasons manager) was correct when he said its an impossible job.
Apart from the football, the owners continue to take fans to court, refuse to have dialogue with the largest fans group, instead just talk to the group of fans that they themselves chose even though the original 12 has now been reduced to just 5.
We need new owners, a new manager and new players (not their fault, they just aren't good enough) but that isn't going to happen unless something drastic happens.
The only ray of hope is that the President and 20% shareholder is in the process of suing the Oystons but that could run from a long time before there is any outcome.
In the meantime all the fans can do is to boycott the club and keep up the regular protests.

its a shame that a club with such a great history has come to this ,you cant blame the players or the manager its the bloody owners who think that their collective turds dont stink and just have a football club as a hobby and sod the fans .

We came down from the Prem with you and have ourselves had well publicised ownership difficulties. Two years ago we avoided the drop into League 1 with an injury time equaliser.

Since then the off-field problems have started to ease and we may (fingers crossed)see a resolution in the not too distant future.

I realise that you and your fellow Blackpool supporters may, at the moment, find it hard to believe but things will get better.

 

[ColchesterFC]

MK Dons looking like contenders early doors. I'm quietly confident my prediction that they'll be in the top flight very soon could be realised this season.

Just been looking back on some of the early season predictions including mine that Colchester would be a solid mid table team this year and Blackpool would be pushing for the play offs. So it might come down to me or c1973's above as the winner of the worst prediction of the year award.

 

[Deleted member 18588]

Bolton, QPR & Wolves were also tipped for promotion.

Don't think I will rely upon my fellow forumers for advice when doing my pre-season bets.

So sad to see the desperate situation at Blackpool and I feel for you as fans. So hard when you have someone like the Oystons determined to self destruct the club and seemingly killing it dead. I hope you can find a solution somewhere, somehow and get back to playing at a higher level, free of any doubts and worries and with a manger that is allowed to manage (and with funds and backing) and that you, as a long suffering fan, get the club you deserve

So everyone backed Brighton.

Seems Brighton were unlucky with injuries during game, but Wednesday looking good for final.

Personally hate play offs having lost three finals.
