Anyone who think that performance will be anything like when we face Shrews in the play-offs needs their head checking. It was a glorified training game, minimal effort required, only one team needed a result and they got it.
Shrews lost as well by the way (and they were at home to already relegated MK) does that mean they won't be a challenge next week?
Bullied in defence, outfought in midfield, powderpuff in attack. Piss poor.
And although our play off place was pretty certain, form and momentum are critical. You can’t just flick a switch, bring back rested players and expect it all to click. Play like that against Shrewsbury and we will be missing out on a day at Wembley and a golden chance to get out of this shit league.
Utter toilet performance. Cant tell if we were genuinely shite or took our foot off the gas when we heard the plymuff score. Shews lost at home to MK so im not sure what to think about the playoffs right now.
Kaikai wasn’t very good but Zyro was awful and I hope doesn’t get near the team in the play offs. Was crap.
Boring game but we seemed to not try and the aim being to avoid any injuries and be ready for Thursday. Shame as a lot of people spent good time and money on that.
Must up our game on Thursday. Magennis and Ajose to come back in and make better use of Mavididi and we will look much better and more threatening.

Yet just that happened when we faced Plymouth and Rotherham at the Valley
We'd just come off the back of a 1-0 loss against Blackpool and turgid home 0-0 against Fleetwood
1. We wont score enough goals to win playoffs, 2. We need to get out of this division at all costs 3. Football needs to look at the rule surrounding keeping the ball in the corner and obstruction.
Regarding number 3, I don't think we were too bothered. Marshall was all smiles.
If you traveled 450 miles round trip to see that awful loss, do you feel good that you saw us make the playoffs, or bad at having to travel that distance to see such a performance?
That was shite. Thank you to the pikeys for putting qualification guaranteed so early. If we had, had to win we would not be in the mix. Really nervous now about the pressure games coming up.

True, and it might happen again. But it’s not often we pull out of a mini slump so spectacularly.
Well that was £7.99 well spent then...poor display. Feel sorry for the travelling Fans. Play like that in the semis and Wembley will be a distant dream...
On a different note glad Jacko got a final run out shame it couldn't have been last week though. Fingers crossed he gets on in the last 5 minutes when we are already 4-0 up at Wembley!

This all day long, was a training game after the first 25 mins.
Bowyer knows that and we’ll be a totally different side come Thursday
I know we will put out a stronger side on Thursday, but I'm really concerned where our goals are going to come from. We really need a 2 goal lead from the first leg but Magennis & Ajose are hardly prolific.

We move on. Congratulations to Rochdale.

We've played better recently against the teams in and around us, bar scunthorpe, so hopefully we see that side of the team.
Echo what others have said, big chance for some to stake a claim and they didn't step up.. let's hope Fosu makes a quicker than expected recovery.
Going by Bowyer's comments in midweek, he's been unimpressed and gave him this chance as it wasnt as important
Did absolutely nothing all game so cant see him being on the bench for Thursday
(A) Shrewsbury have run out of steam
(B) we were taking it easy in readiness for Thursday knowing Plymouth had lost
(C) Fosu is fit
Coz we were rubbish today
Never ever change...
The one and only time I will ever go to Rochdale
Que sera sera

Chill and have a beer and watch the boxing
