Not expecting anything at all from the play-offs so if we do get to Wembley, it will be a nice bonus!
This is exactly my thinking too.

We're really not going to sing the place down again are we.
Reminds me a bit of the atmosphere at Wembley in 91, when we were all expecting the off-field shit to spoil the fun. After the game, the Sunderland fans were taunting us for not celebrating enough.
Going up under Jed's leadership will feel similarly hollow.

No it won't. I'll be going wild because we've just been promoted to the 2nd tier of football for the first time in over a decade, having had the rug pulled from under us just as it looked like we were heading for the title, avoided admin and almost didn't make the play offs at all.

There can't have been many town fans there in 91 to make any noise

So I'm more senile than Reg now? Blimey... The point stands. I'll briefly enjoy a promotion, but it won't shake off the impression we're heading for an almighty car-crash. The years may merge together, but at least Reg will appreciate the sentiment.

I cling to the shred of hope that promotion will make us an attractive prospect for potential purchasers if the club is still up for sale.

A good all round performance.
Nathan Byrne was my MoM. He was at it all game long and put is some fantastic crosses. Massimo Luongo was quality most of the game with just a couple of duff moments. Gary Roberts even got a degree of respect from SWMBO- she dislikes him with a passion normaly. Ward is back to his reliable self. Joe Devera showed exactly what we had missed whilst he was out. Flint pushing for a hat trick- WTF? Alan Mac- the solid midfield player that we have been without recently. Rooney A, ran his socks off and deserved his applause when subbed. Raffa had som nice little moments like we usually see from him and I think benefitted from the switch in wings after the substitution. Wes- well, what can I say? Another clean sheet. Not a lot to do but kept his concentration going. Some quick distribution from him as well. Andy Williams? I sooo want him to get a couple of goals to regain his confidence but I think he is trying too hard. He does some excellent running on the wing though and gets some good ball in.
Bring on whoever. Whats the worst that can happen?

Interesting that you had Byrne as MOM. For a premiership full back he is extremely one footed, not once did he try and use his left peg. Although his right is pretty decent so fair enough. His lack of height worries me a little. He did get up the Right flank a lot and looked dangerous. Could do a job as a winger as well I reckon.

His one-footedness is really annoying... how he's managed to get this far without being forced to train his left peg is beyond me. He won't even attempt to use it.
Good player though.

He's only a kid really and is still developing in his trade. he may be one footed but, that foot does a fucking good little job. I just wonder what that wing would be like if he paired up with nathan Thompson.

Sorry I meant left flank. But yes, with Thompson and Byrne playing on the right, we could be quite potent. Both Byrne and Roberts were putting some good crosses into dangerous areas on Saturday. The Stevenage defence had to be on their toes a lot of the time. Although a lot of the time, there was only really Adam Rooney to aim at.
