I do wonder how some people actually get into football. What I love most is winning, as long as the only stat we win in is goals scored, then I’m happy. I get the criticism of it, if you don’t play good football then you absolutely have to get the results, because you have nothing to fall back on and people will turn quicker as shown numerous times this season.
But the reason you watch your team is to hopefully see them win, surely? I really don’t see how getting automatic promotion from any league can be twisted into a negative. And like you said, our points are at a record level and will hopefully make it into the 90s. Biggest goal difference, second highest number of wins. You can’t even argue that we’ve got lucky.

First promotion for 17 years. First automatic promotion for nearly 30 years. Let’s counter your argument and say you think that finishing 3rd, playing good football but failing where it really matters is an achievement?
The arrogant attitude that anything less than running away with the title with triple figure points is a failure is why big clubs like Sunderland, Ipswich, Notts Forest etc got stuck down here for longer.
Less than two years ago we had about 6 players, no academy, no manager and had to play pre-season in temporary shirts because we didn’t even have kits. We were also put under restrictions, which still haven’t run out yet. So yes, I think getting automatic promotion in this timeframe is an achievement. A very good one, actually.

Me giving Ryan Nyambe a bit of advice on how to handle those tricky wingers next season. 😂

In place of who though? To finish in the top 2 we’d have needed 22 more points at least, that’s a big, big swing for another manager to achieve. And it was with a squad assembled by somebody else. You’ve said before “I hate this team”, so clearly the players didn’t have what it took any way?
I’m not Warne’s number 1 fan, I’m not sold that he is the right long term option for us and I’d have been very happy to see him sacked after Stevenage away. But he’s gone on to make us dogged, resilient and efficient.
I can accept people may dislike his playing style or his personality, whatever, but I can’t see how anybody could argue that he’s not done an excellent job - providing we finish the job - given the circumstances.
He’s taken a side who was pieced together under restrictions by a different manager, straight out of administration, and built an ethos and an atmosphere that a lot have clearly bought into. I really don’t think it matters how big a side we are or how many fans we have, to be in this position 20 months after nearly ceasing to exist is a wonderful achievement.
Whether he finishes next season as our manager or not will remain to be seen, but he absolutely deserves the opportunity to take us into the Championship.

This evening - Derby 1/50, Bolton 14/1, Posh 25/1.
We’re really on our way…

Don’t think we bottled that one on the final day. The dive & subsequent penalty/red card took it away from us. I think we actually looked alright in that game and would’ve got the point we needed.
Games like Reading at home are bottling it, but not winning a game and bottling don’t always have to be the same thing.

Shrews always have been my favourite small mole-like mammals classified in the order Eulipotyphla.

The results tonight are setting up an ideal scenario for us, well ideal would be that we're already promoted by now, but ideal in terms of enjoying the final day.
Goal difference in our favour, Peterborough and Bolton both to be 3 points behind us meaning they're both going to have to go for it on the off-chance something remarkable happens, but all we have to do is avoid a 4-0 defeat against Carlisle. Perfect.

FULL TIME! 2-2
G'wan Shrewsbury!
