THE END… (A match thread)

It’s what we know and tolerate

I'm funnier on Facebook.
Plus there are cat pictures.

So, 10 points and goal difference better than Luton in the end.

We were significantly better than the bottom three, and only three points worse than Brentford, but then there's quite the gap (7 points) before Wolves.

We could improve quite a bit next season and still struggle to battling for 16th.

From the clips I can see that looked a proper decent away day.

I hope Jim comes back with some stories - and unlike Sheff United actually tells them this time.

Came 3rd in the medal. Feel like I chose well.

I also hope Ingo returns with stories.
I like stories, dammit.

Belatedly watched MOTD. Of course we were last on. Of course they didn't show Wood's attempt at a hat trick when he could've played MGW in or either of Murillo's efforts. I've said on here couple of times that I'd reached a point where I didn't care if we went down. I think on balance I'm glad we weren't shitter than the bottom three. Will next season be any better in terms of refs, VAR and the haves cherry picking the best players from the have nots? I've no idea.

If we hadn't scored a single goal all season we'd still have finished with a better GD than Sheffield United. They were epic levels of shit.

All the reports I read said it was a comfortable win, the Sky highlights were edited to make it look an even game.

The highlights I saw had Sels making the most innocuous save just to pad it out.
That first goal was a cracking finish. Made it look easy. That's Wood's best top flight season, I think?

Joint. He got 15 with Burnley once. He could easily have had 20 with marginally better finishing over the last two months.

I took so long eating starters, mostly prawns, they had nearly run out of roast beef. They only had end bits left. Fortunately every farmer knows the end bit has the best flavour so I was pleased with how it worked out.

If our set pieces, ability to hold onto leads and balance of refereeing decisions all improved from ‘catastrophic’ to ‘bad’, there’s easily another ten points we left begging.

But, rationally, right now the favourites for relegation are the three promoted team and us.

More assists this season.

Anyway, this doesn't look right:

I can't imagine a measure that shows Sels worse than every other keeper including our other two.
