Rival Watch

I don't think that was the point he was making - he was basically saying: 'The job's not done yet' - you can celebrate when we win the next game, which they did.

I know that, I completely get that bit but I just think it's ridiculous. The way he physically shoved the players off the pitch while they were acknowledging the away fans just came across as performative and unnecessary. Everyone knows the tie isn’t over, but forcing that moment like that felt a bit ridiculous.

Players put in a real effort and were thanking the fans. The fans - who travelled in good numbers were celebrating and acknowleding the player's efforts/win. I don't think it helps to prematurely stop all this because there's a second leg in about 5 days time and "it's not over".

Yeah, my sentiments exactly and makes him come off as a right miserable twat.

In other news, Orient beat Stockport so we are guaranteed to lose a Southern away day next season and keep oxf*rd Stockport.

Pinched from the League One Supporters Facebook group, but...

If Leyton Orient go up, then all 3 promoted sides will have lost at Shrewsbury this season. Shrewsbury won only 5 home games all season.

Knew we should have asked for last season’s grottiness to be taken into consideration.

Personally think it will be Charlton haha but this is an odd fact regardless.

Charlton complete Wycombe's season ends' implosion to get to the final.

On April 18th, with 3 games left, Wycombe were 2nd on 84 points, with Wrexham 3rd on 83; Wycombe had just beaten Bolton (then still in the hunt for a play off spot) away from home, whilst Wrexham had drawn at home to soon to be relegated Bristol Rovers.

At the stage, you would have thought Wycombe were in the driving seat for automatic promotion.

However, Wycombe lost their last 3 games (2 at home) with the 0-4 defeat at home by Charlton a real morale crusher for them, and went into the play-offs as the out of form team, and playing Charlton.

In many respects, a really good season for them but right now it will feel like a total nightmare!

good for us as wycombe will be nothing next season. would much prefer Charlton to go up, as i'd have them as favorites to win the league next season

Cardiff will be favorites I suspect.

Cardiff will be favorites I suspect.

Bolton will start getting it right soon. Plymouth will be the favourites I suspect while Cardiff give the impression of having issues to sort out.

They won't be. They're in a malaise like we were under Dai. Also think Huddersfield won't do well.

I don't see clear favourites, but I see lots of strength, including many who under performed this season. Stockport, Plymouth, Luton, Bolton, Barnsley, Rotherham, Charlton/Orient, Blackpool, ourselves. Maybe Lincoln, Wigan and Peterborough as dark horses.

Why do you think Wycombe will be nothing next season - haven't they got a really rich owner now?

Really rich owners don’t work at clubs like Wycombe as the P&S rules stop any clubs spending money to compete who aren’t already “big” clubs - unless of course the owner is Dai in disguise.

AFAIK, the P+S rules in League One allow a lot more owner funding so Wycombe's rich owners could just pump money into the club if they wanted them to get up to the Champ.

That said, it doesn't seem very fruitful for a club of Wycombe's size, because despite their growth, they don't appear like they'll ever grow beyond this level.

[Brogue]

Wycombe aren't very good. That's why i don't think they will do well next season. They were riding on the crest of a wave early on with a long unbeaten run. Momentum is everything in football, and when they lost that, they had a poor finish to the end of the season. i see them as a mid table team to be honest.

You're getting confused with Championship rules.

Although it sounds like Plymouth's manager may go to Hull which means a restart/rebuild at Plymouth probably

As far as I gather the "really rich owner" does not go to games and says very little and even less about his ambitions for the club. Sound familiar? I really hope they don't follow us down the path we have been along.

Selles to Huddersfield

Selles to Huddersfield

Or David Wagner or Des Buckingham or Rob Edwards apparently.

Meanwhile Michael Duff could be returning to Barnsley.

Selles to Huddersfield

I tell you what Saints should take a long hard look and bring Selles back in
