Charlston were told off half time for strolling about,it made a tiny tad of difference to their display which was, they really didn't care to be there.

Not a true reflection of us as a team. on 21:09 - Apr 30 with 1795 views
An end of season dead rubber isn't going to mean a lot.
However, had we failed to win, next season would have been "Ipswich who haven't won since March 26th". Instead it will be Ipswich who have only won once in their last 6.
It was also a decent experience for Baggott and a first team appearance for Humphreys. Bakinson will have been pleased to register a goal and Burns gets his name on the top scorers list.
There were positives but it was also pretty meaningless. A really good manager will always want to get a win even if it is only to make their own win percentage better. It is partly about having that winning mentality.
Hard to say what is a true reflection of us as a team though. The 2 points per game January-February-March, competing well with the League winners last week? Or getting turned over by Cambridge, conceding bad late equalisers to Shrewsbury and Crewe, crumbling at Rotherham?

Both are which is why we are 11th.
If the good run was we would be top 4. If the last part was, we would be bottom 6.
We need to keep the first part and cut out the others. Where would the points we have thrown away this season have put us? How many points have we actually gained from coming from behind either? Not enough I would suggest.

The form table in interesting. We got as many points as Wigan in the last 6 games.

Every game from Cambridge on has been a dead rubber. But the reaction from some suggests not. No free hits and all that stuff. In fact I think every game is important. I cared not a jot whether we finished 7th or 17th. It’s about what the manager learned about his players over the last month. KM has been here 4.5 months. Not long and he will gain more from the poor games in April than today.
We need to start next season right. No messed up pre season, bomb squad scrambling, last minute signings. Just a more developed version of what we have. A goal scorer or two, dead ball side of the game sorted, a little more balance in the squad and we will have fun next year. The team is a lot closer than the table suggests and some people think, in my view. I base that on how we played against the better teams bar Rotherham and SW away.
Wigan and MK have been deservedly promoted. Well done to them, but were they better than us in the 4 games played? I don’t think so.

If you run a form table from the time McKenna was here, we would have to be comfortably top of that to have made the play offs this year. I make it that we would have needed 54 from 23 games which would have been one hell of an achievement.
It probably sounds stupid but I’m glad we missed out on 70 rather than the huge total Plymouth did as I wouldn’t be able to cope! I believe we were 5th in the form table under McKenna so that is proof we are moving in the right direction, even if 11th place doesn’t.
By my calculation, if we'd have won our last 6 games we'd still only have got to 82 points, 1 behind Wycombe in 6th. It was the excellent form of Sheff Wed, Sunderland and Wycombe (and Plymouth) over that period that also cost us. 83 points to finish 6th is a huge total.
Plymouth must be gutted.

Does also highlight the fact that some improvement is still needed, unless we want a squeaky bum ending to next season.
If you look at results for all teams, last 23 games, we are 5th in the table BUT if you look at last 24 games we are 7th. Far too close for comfort if next season follows a similar pattern to the one just ended.
