    Jourdan got a reaction from Zag zig in Sheffield Wednesday (A) Sun 7th May, 12:00 KO   
    I think two words define this season: fine margins. Since February, we’ve fallen on the wrong side of them every time. 
    The players gave everything today and the performance was a creditable one. The game hinged on one mistake and sometimes in football that’s all it takes.
    Some might deem this season a failure and the anti-Warne sentiment will no doubt be in overdrive over the coming days and weeks, but it’s needless.
    Personally I don’t think at any point we’ve looked like one of the three best teams in the division, so I don’t think there should be much of a hangover if any at all. The signs have been there that it is simply one season too soon.
    We just have to lick our wounds, regroup quickly, have a positive rebuild over the summer and go out and finish in the top two in 23-24.
    Not going into the Championship with this group of players and under financial restrictions could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
    I said this a few weeks ago and the sentiment remains - this is where Warne’s work really starts.

    I feel like you have let yourself down here. We’ve missed out on the play-offs by a point, not ten. Calling it a failure is sensationalism.
    You’ve long been considered one of the most respected and most measured posters on the forum, but in recent months it seems you have abandoned that sense of balance and perspective previously held.
    You’ve been on a singular mission to discredit the manager, diminish any good he has done and superimpose the bad, and to what end?
    Warne will be back next season and as a club hopefully we’ll have learnt lessons and be wiser and stronger after this experience. The time to be heavy handed is this time next year if Warne hasn’t moved us forward. 
    Top two should be the aim.

    An absolute class act.
    I hope he doesn’t get the Keogh or Roos treatment.
    Some players just pass through, but he has really taken the club to heart. Let’s not forget how thrilled we were to see him sign a new contract last summer. He has built up that kind of connection with the club.
    This season probably hasn’t gone as he would have expected, and today’s minute of madness probably underlined that.
    But that doesn’t diminish years of great service. I hope he stays in the fold in some capacity. If not, he goes with nothing but complete respect and well wishes.

    So completely and utterly gutted, particularly given I actually fancied us over two legs against our opponents today... Alas it wasn't to be
    But proud of the fact we were in the mix come the final game, especially given the way some people had written off any hope of us going straight back up
    The playoffs would've been great but this season was always about steadying the ship and setting the club right, which I think for the most part has happened
    And we go again in August

    I’m not too down. It’s a pity but in reality we were short of pace, power and finishing up front, short on numbers in general and short in wide defensive positions. Small squad with a few quality players. Nearly made it and they all worked their socks off. I just hope we can keep Cashin, Knight and Wildsmith. Pretty sure Didsy will stay for an Indian summer because of the locality and he’s clearly enjoyed himself. To those not liking the football, truth is there isn’t a Warneball yet. There were games where we played long and ugly - and looked lousy at it. There were also games where we did tippy tappy and looked more than respectable. We have in all those games looked hungry which you need if you want to succeed. 
    Ack .. you know what, I am looking forward to pre season, transfer chatter and planning for the next phase of our recovery. 
     
    If we look at the hand of cards we had 12 months ago I’d say we played them as well as could be expected. I am not quite as edgy about players being nicked for rock bottom prices because the market and the game has changed since Covid. Unless a prem or parachute club wants someone I don’t think there is as much money around as folk think. 
     
    I guess all will be revealed in the fullness of time. COYR

    Nothings really changed. 
    Regardless of whether we are in the Championship or League 1 we still need vital positions recruiting for in the summer - centre forward, central defence, a right back would be good, midfield etc.
    All those who are saying that we should have walked this league with the players we have need to stop glue sniffing for a while.
