We beat rotherham twice.....

[Ian Bairds Ears]

We were in the play offs by 2 points
Funny game football.....

Consistency is key!

This team has learnt a lot from this season and with a few additions and not so many injuries we will fly next year!

 

[sherlock]

I actually think not going up this year is a good thing as the team is really taking shape for next season.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Stunning when you consider we did the double over Leicester and 4 points off Southampton. We also failed to beat Plymouth home or away who needed something today to be sure of staying up.

The whole thing is even more stunning when you think we didn't win in the first 7 matches. Yet still going to finish close.

All those injuries and weeks without a CF fecked us. Oh and still not got over Glovers mistake against Sunderland. So many moments. Yet sure most clubs will say the same.

Excited for next sesson

Leicester beat Rotherham twice & they finish on 100 points

 

[Legz]

Got to start next season at full pelt...not giving the league a 2 month start like we have down the last 2 seasons

 

[Merlin]

We have indeed finished the season very well, but let’s not forget we’re still rubbish in all seriousness though if we can get five good additions into the squad, hold onto our best players, and have a bit more luck with injuries I think it could finally be our year to “SMASH THE LEAGUE”

Could argue if the double of Leicester didn’t happen we’d have been further behind

Assuming we only lose 1 or 2 over the summer, we have the majority of the starting 11 in place already which will make a massive difference.

Finished last season badly. Lost momentum into the playoffs and struggled to get going again. Injuries etc took their toll but we’ve ended this season in a complete juxtaposition to last so very hopeful for a proper attempt next.

Plus my assignment here in Buenos Aires ends in September so will get to see a lot more games next year.

We would of been level on Points with Norwich as we drew a game so dropped 4 points. I think it's mroe the first 7 not gettting a win that cost us like

 

[Ravs]

We have to establish the Riverside as a true fortress next season i.e. not make it an easy place for poor-to-average sides coming here with the sole purpose of snatching points. On many other fronts it was a good season.

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Developing these players in this league with some quality additions will make stepping up easier to sustain

Cruising 1-0 at home against Hull, and we fell asleep to end up losing 2-1

 

[BoroMad87]

We will learn from it as players and coaching and be better for it next year, we have had such bad luck with Injuries and still been so close, the players will hopefully look and be irritated thinking only what could of been.

Carrick will galvanise the squad and we will be some team next year, there will be bumps up and down but I fully believe with this squad and a few astute signs we will be right up there next year.

If we ever do up as champions we need a smash the league chant

 

[Nero]

Cruising 1-0 at home against Hull, and we fell asleep to end up losing 2-1

One of the most frustrating games this season. Other home defeats we didn’t deserve much, but that Hull game was there for the taking. I can’t quite believe we lost when we should have won.

Agreed.

There is no one scary in this division; Leicester were certainly not scared of anyone, but they still lost twice to us, as well as once to the likes of QPR, Millwall and Plymouth.

It's the competition itself that's scary, not the teams in it. Success isn't about being brilliant; it's about consistency and attrition.

Knowing that, the fact we failed to beat Rotherham doesn't bother me too much. We didn't have enough consistency to earn a playoff place

Well said. Look at Ipswich, came up on the crest of a wave and carried it all the way to the end. Are they a better squad than Leeds or Southampton? Arguably not, but they found a way to win games even when they weren't firing on all cylinders.

 

[Nano]

Don't forget that level with Norwich and sneaking into the playoffs almost certainly means that we wouldn't have been promoted. We're still a decent distance away from promotion probability Vs promotion possibility.
