As I said the other week, it will be interesting to see if we strengthen the back three this summer (whichever division). It would have to be a big upgrade – you'd assume Santos is a shoo-in, Johnston is back, Toal seems popular with the manager. Then Jones is a good squad member, Iredale offers cov...

Our lads out of contract in summer: Nat Ogbeta Zac Ashworth Declan John Jon Dadi Bodvarsson Cameron Jerome interestingly JDB's new contract had a year extension triggerable by appearances, although it was never made clear how many. He made 46 appearances in all comps (18 starts), 36 in the league (1...

Could be some really exciting signings made this summer! Yeah, you'd hope so. Not quite sure where though. I think it might be about adding dashes of quality where available rather than saying, for instance, "a No.10". Not sure any of the exciting players are mentioned above like, either, but as I ...

Obvz we don't yet know what division we're in, but for most of the Football League the games are over and the released/retained lists are coming out. We'll need some players this summer, and their names might first appear omn here - who'd have linked us with Josh Dacres-Cogley? Anyway... ROTHERHAM r...

Yeah, but Posh rested a load as we were up next...edit: think that was the game they made 8 changes? No, that was another game a bit later in the season, mate. Curious though, Oxford. As I say, after that 5-0 walloping at Bolton , Buckingham tweaked his midfield (from "two 6s and an 8" to "a 6 and ...

Hats off that the Happy Shop has done a Pollockesque (Jackson not Jamie) T-shirt for the new chant.

I wouldn't say they've been "good". Dogged. Disciplined. Determined. Their entire game plan was "keep Posh out". It's worked, and fair play to them. Different proposition in the final. We've got to get players like Maghoma unlocking that defence, get Williams/Ogbeta and JDC round the outside and ge...

Wow, didn't expect that. Gonna have to be on it. Can't underestimate them. Clearly they're not a bad team but I'd still rather face them than Posh – who did indeed replicate our last-season shape of winning the cup then blowing the play-offs. Posh have more players who can hurt us. Oxford more syst...

Bye bye, Posh.

Dave Sutton's barnet

That should have been it. Oxford look a totally different side to the one we battered 5-0. I know what you mean but they're not, really. Buckingham had been playing a 4-2-3-1 but he's tweaked that to more of a 4-3-3 - basically inverted the midfield triangle from "two behind one" to "one behind two...

Dave Sutton's barnet

ooh, "you have to wonder if Oxford will regret that miss" etc

No; I keep thinking they will step up a gear here but they have failed to do so, so far.

I mean, it's by no means the same bottle job as last season. But still.

They have more matchwinners but they haven't shown up.

Only takes a second though...

Can't say I've been very impressed with Posh.

Iles: "WANDERERS have been told how many tickets they have been allocated at Wembley – and that they have been drawn on the ‘lucky’ side of the stadium for the play-off final. The club will receive 36,550 seats for the Saturday, May 18 showpiece, and will take up the ‘East End’ – just as they did in...

All that for a couple of million quid per team. Makes my piss boil Might start following Non-league I suspect it's so they can say "Well if you drop the 3pm blackout...." And when I say "they" I mean the clubs as well as Sky, who have never forced anyone to sign a deal. In fact, if I recall correct...

Sky reveal more details. Before the season starts they'll announce their TV picks from August to the FA Cup Third Round weekend. By November they'll announce the Jan-March picks, then shorter notice thereafter while they see where the stories are. They say they're doing this to minimise fan disrupti...

Interesting topic. Depends which Rotherham. • In 2017 they ended a three-year second-tier spell with an awful season - 23pts (28 below safety!) under three managers (Stubbs, Jackett and Warne). That's not what we want. • Warne bounced them straight back up and in 2019 they went down after the penult...

It was an absolute privilege to be in the best atmosphere I've ever experienced at the 'bok. Amazing support. :pray: This is good to hear. The club have made big efforts to make our ground a fortress, and that would really be needed if we get up. (Ironic that we "lost" tonight but it was enough ove...

Evatt interestingly humble and downbeat. I don't think he thinks "Job's done" at all.

Let the players have fun, see who wins tomorrow night, then the work starts.

Dave Sutton's barnet

Just get to Wembley, they said.

Boy these lads know how to wrench our guts.

One game from promotion. Enjoy tonight and then focus.
