What's the sodding point?
+4 on the board, at least 1:30 taken up by a combination of Spanish play acting and then preparing to take the free kick, and then for the referee to blow on 4 minutes exactly. It makes no sense whatsoever and just defies the point of adding time on.
Best side won and all that but we should have had another two minutes to put pressure on their box. |

Had stick at various times of this tournament, but he's been very good so far. Brilliant at getting us up the pitch and pressing. |

Is anyone else still not really able to let promotion sink in?
I'm assuming it'll sink in when we line up next to Liverpool on the 17th, but even then I'm not sure if it will. |

The sad thing is it's not surprising.
But football is absolute bobbins now. Other sports must be laughing at it. |

Cheating bar steward.
Referee buying it, pundits making light of it instead of actually calling it out. Some things don't change do they. |

Thread | Of the current squad

Who do you think is going to make the biggest impression in the Premier League next season?
Obviously we've got an idea of who we think was ready to step up whether we were prompted already (Leif and maybe a couple more), but who can you see surprising us?
Personally I think Burns is going to be huge for us. I remember people saying he would be slowly phased out following promotion to the Championship which looking back seems crazy. Two assists and a goal in the last three games of the season after a two month injury, he was so important for that run in. |

What's the betting Sky get McKenna in the studio/pitch-side for punditry for the final?
They'd love that and so would I, especially if either of Leeds and Norwich lose.

Thread | Which part of the season has felt the most surreal?
at 12:58 3 May 2024
Being a day away from needing a point to secure promotion is well up there, but for me it was the period between September and November where we seemed to be scoring three or four goals every home game, and winning most away 1-0.
The good start we had could have been put down to momentum and like many people predicted you might have thought we'd fall away, but how we sustained it and blew teams away over the next 3 months was unreal.
By the time December rolled around I think a lot of us realised we were the real deal and had a great shot at promotion. Since the new year we've never really been out of it and across the piece we've been the most consistent team. Fewest losses comfortably, and no back to back defeats.

Thread | It's probably been said before
at 00:49 1 May 2024
In fact it's definitely been said before.
These players are mentality monsters. On quality and ability alone they shouldn't be where they are, I think they would probably admit that. But they, generally, do not suffer set backs.
The way we reacted to all the Hull goals on Saturday, and how we reacted to Cov's goal tonight, showed that.
Stoppage time (and probably 10-15 minutes before it) was horrible. The dark haired chap in the away end on sky gurning in anguish would have made me burst out laughing if I wasn't so tense myself. I could see why the cameraman kept going back to him, it really captured the emotion.
Shout outs to the whole squad but particularly tonight to;
Sarmiento - so so busy offensively and defensively, needs to aim for the corners more but gives us so much forward thrust and clever touches. Was heavily involved in us seeing out the game as well.
Burgess - same old story really but he takes charge and heads everything
Fridge - to come in again from the relative cold and perform like that. Says everything about McKenna's management. He's never let players stay too far away from things even when they don't look like regular starters (Edmundson, Jackson, Harness etc)
Burns and Hirst - these two get a joint mention for being in similar situations fitness wise. The last two games both of them have been unreal. Physically they are massive for us. Imagine if they'd both been fit the whole season?
One more push 🙏

A fantastic example of why putting ex players in the VAR studio is a terrible idea.

Thread | If a game tells the story of our season
at 23:15 27 Apr 2024
It was possibly that, apart from the result obviously. And that's in no way a negative.
Based on that I think you have to accept teams will always get chances against us and that 3-3 was just about fair, I thought Hutch was going to get a hat trick and seal it but it wasn't to be. A Hull winner wasn't out of the question either, so we have to take the point and move on.
Hirst showed us within about 5 minutes what we'd been missing, I thought he and Burns were incredible considering the time out. Moore was good when he came on but I still thought he could have done better with a few situations.
Superb team, brilliant entertainment. Hutchinson scoring worldies.
What a season.

Seen people saying if we win tonight we've got one foot in the PL.
Even if we win tonight, if we happen to lose on Tuesday we'll go into Saturday feeling like we have to win.
Huddersfield might be poor, but it's not Exeter. |
