I always remember travelling to Barnsley for the (was it Quarter Final) in 98-99 season where we lost 4-1
That was a long old day

What do I accept? Consolidation. What am I expecting (target) Mid table. What am I expecting (belief in Joey's squad) Punching for the playoffs. What do I hope we get? Promoted again. Playoffs will do this time. These days you always have a multitude of high spending ex premier league clubs who we won't have a hope of matching budget wise until we evolve as a club and sort ourselves out with a new ground. Therefore and with only 2 positions available for autos I think the league and/or autos are fanciful even for an established L1 side with decent investment. Given the history over the last two decades making the playoffs would be a massive achievement even if we don't win them. But let's remember we've just been promoted out of L2 and whilst we have a strong squad and momentum is on our side doing it at first attempt is a huge ask. So let's accept it might not be a successful season next year and not be too disappointed if that happens, but hope for the best and expect a good season at a level above where we've been over the last 2 years. Cambridge United did it years and years ago I think?

Am I โerd, or do it really need explaining...... Or was I in a dream? I know Kate Beckinsale was involved somehow?

Is there a new system to the play offs as I'm a little confused.
An afternoon on the water don't help my comprehension much

Lost interest in the FA Cup Final years ago myself. I find all the play off games' semi's and finals more exciting

Dale VInce really does not deserve that. What goes around comes around โฆโฆ Edwards will most probably only last a few monthsโฆdriven by pure greed in my opinion. Maybe those veggie pies was a pie too much

Due to health and such I was unable to make Saturday. I settled down with Sky Sports News and loved it.... Northampton raced ahead and I got a bit "oh well at least we got a chance in play offs"
But as the drama unfolded it got immense' I even felt that Jeff was willing that next ball into the net, and when we clinched it he looked delighted. I know he's a big Hartlepool fan but I have a feeling he has a big soft spot for Rovers.
What are your views and opinions if you sadly had to resort to Sky Sports News on Saturday Afternoon?

My son has just got back from Bristol. He was lucky enough to have an invite to the players' after party, and had a brilliant time - very funny seeing them dancing, still in their playing kit. Apparently he told Belly that he is 2nd only to Nigel Martyn in the Gas Goalkeeping Legends table - Belly took it very well.ย ย An absoslutely great bunch of lads, no airs and graces about them. When things had quitened down at The Mem, he also got to play football on the pitch - certainly a day to remember!ย That's beautiful......

Went to bed about 3.15 am, up for some strange reason at 9am. Tired and a mouth like a Chippies tool bag but I am still living on adrenaline

What do you think?
