So ridiculous 20:26 - May 9 with 4902 views | readtheleaguetable | Watching these play-off games with disbelief. Over the 4 matches, only the Dons have played football that can hold a candle to Town’s under McKenna, and they got bullied out. These two teams today have “not good enough for the Championship” written all over them. Next season we just have to add the cutting edge to the class we ooze, and get back where we belong. | |

It was all clog though. Kick it in the air and battle for it against the CH's. Wednesday were god-awful. How'd we lose 1-0 away to that? | |

Passing football is if you have an end product. Teams chasing the ball have to run a lot further and cannot score if you have it. But you have to match the energy and intensity of the opposition. Do this and even on an off day you’ll have a chance of getting something from a game. It’s the old cliche of earning the right to play. From that with a better football team, you literally take limited teams like these apart. | | | |

That's despicable. Perhaps it was me, but I couldn't believe how low on quality Wednesday were apart from Barry Bannan. It was all "win the ball then boot it high for the front two to lose it, rinse, repeat". I hope we'll be a lot better faced with that next season | |

We may have to duplicate these 'ugly' tactics as our 'nice, passing' football has been fruitless in the second half of the season. We have scored few goals. And our set-pieces are arguably the worst in this league. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Set plays are a different issue to playing decent football. We didn’t score enough goals because the balance of the team wasn’t quite right and we didn’t have forwards who got in there like the SW or Sunderland lads did tonight. Goals scored says it all. As Joe Royle once said, you’re only as good as your forwards. He wasn’t wrong. We don’t have to duplicate ugly tactics. We do have to duplicate keeping going for the whole game. How many late goals have Sunderland got and how many did we concede? | | | |

'How many late goals have Sunderland got and how many did we concede?' Your above question is rhetorical. And, yes WE HAVE to duplicate ugly tactics. Otherwise all Cheltenhams, Morecambes, Exeters will easily suss us out.......AGAIN [Post edited 9 May 2022 22:34]

I'm not so sure. Yes, we lost our way a little towards the end of the season, but whilst we were close at one point, the playoffs were just always out of our reach, following our excruciating start. I'm confident with a pre season and a finisher we can do well. It's not like we were often outclassed. Even against Rotherham away we should have been 1 up, but Nors missed a great chance we should have put away. I don't really understand why we'd want to "win ugly". Why not add some finish to our overall game, which is widely accepted as being generally good and aim to win with some class? | |

It makes me laugh how someone who despised Mick and his ‘proper blokes’ as much as you is now crying out for us to take a leaf out of the books of a load of hoof and hope teams playing in a division below the one we did it in. You just make it up as you go along for the sake of having something to whinge about or to try and look edgy. Give it a rest. | |

These 'proper blokes' took us down without a fight and carried a nice, comfy life afterwards without any pressure. They had been leeching off the the club whilst you were enchanted by their 'nice words' in the interviews so sit quiet. [Post edited 10 May 2022 0:19]

Listen I know that you venerate the certain 'proper blokes' but it doesn't change the fact that they are one the main reasons of where we are at the moment. I know that this opinion doesn't suit yours but there we go....it's all about the opinions. | | | |

If it was *that* hard, Rotherham wouldn't manage it every other season. All it needs is halfway competent management and players. | |

Wigan went from the bottom of the division to winning it with ease in not much more than a year. You are right, BB. A halfway competent management and players is all it takes. If you look at the play off games, it’s fair to say the teams are basically rubbish. But they are organised, committed, have one or two decent players and everyone knows their job. Yes, you can brutalise your way out of L1, but you’ll soon find your way back down again as that won’t work in the Championship. If KMs way succeeds in this division, I believe it’ll work even better in the Championship in a similar way that Burley’s style fitted the PL so well - until the team began to fall apart. | | | |
