I think there is an unfortunate typo on page 7 of our programme today. In an article attributed to Phil Hastings, Foundation CEO, he refers to "a greater emphasis on supporting those from undeserved communities". Why would you support undeserved communities? Maybe underserved communities but if they don't deserve to be supported, why would you?

KT2 - agreed that flags are not a big issue !! - it just sort of annoyed me that they were put on every seat in the block where I was (whether people wanted them or not) and at the end of the game most of the flags were just lying on the ground to be swept up and chucked away. I just don't like pointless waste. It's almost certainly a Woodruff thing, as you say, as it's exactly the sort of thing that they would do at Palace (which may be another reason it annoyed me rather!!)

Clearly a massive change in personel for next season if we don't go up. Might make playoffs but not like the last under Ardley. We had momentum then. Hard to regain form with some exremely difficult fixtures to come.

Oh come on Timmy. Live a little. We nearly got our record crowd, against Barrow. We're clearly getting something right.

Nick, handing them out isn't a bad idea but from what I saw they were only on every 5th seat, and reading here I reckon mainly concentrated in the North stand which was obviously a lot of kids' freebies today (great shout). So probably hundreds rather than thousands of flags and that was quite possibly some savvy marketing. Woodruff written all over it.

Some are easily pleased and lacking that passion.

Final table predictor based on form algorithms updated at 5pm today suggest the third auto place will be 79pts. Walsall, Vale and Bradford going up.

TBK, read the room

Yes in block 6 also. No flag just as well it would have been binned. Forgot about Barnet and the return of Hartigan.

Nobody in this division seems to want to get promoted. Every time a team gets into a decent position they cock it up. They'll go on a good run when they have nothing to lose but as soon as they have something to lose they lose it.

Glad he enjoyed it KT2.

KT2- it was me moaning about the flags (!!) - I can see that they are fun for kids but they are a bit naff (and a huge waste)for adults. Would have just been better to hand them out on entry to those who wanted them (whether kids or not) rather than putting out thousands of them for most people who weren’t interested

I didn't get a flag. I feel snubbed. Maybe somebody half-inched it before I got to my seat. However. I didn't see anybody else with one in Block 106, so maybe the whole block was snubbed.

On a positive, my boy's first ever dons game and he absolutely loved it. Gave me a fresh perspective seeing him taking it all in. For all the off field BS we do have something properly decent at PL. Nothing like it for miles in any direction. Starting to look like we need the investment to make it bigger.

Looking forward to Cambridge, Crawley and Mk next season.

To be positive- at least the worst thing that can happen to us this season is to narrowly miss the playoffs- and even that would be way better than we have done for years (though it would be massively massively disappointing, given how well we were placed at the end of January).

We’ve struck lucky with others around us stumbling of late, but we failed to take proper advantage of that - those teams will probably now improve, and we are unlikely to be able to keep up… I might be wrong, but that’s what I think will happen.

Six million: agree with your analysis. I also think JG is wildly optimistic on points total needed for autos. Will be more likely 80 plus

Was interesting when the commentators were reeling off the form of the current top 5. Everyone has hit a poor run of form. We just need to match the current 4-8 and considering everyone is playing each other a lot it’s still in our hands. But this lot have left themselves with a need to get results in the next 2 games.

Out of interest, we’re those freebies today in the north stand or did they pay?

ML - bloke with no number was Pressley!

Nick - you’re right, it really did seem inevitable, which is a pretty bad state of affairs considering there was only 5 minutes of normal time left, we really should have been capable of seeing the game out. 🙁

The irony is the sideways faffing is what we should have done at 1-0 and 2-0 to slow that game down and kill any momentum they could get. We’re happy to do it when we need urgency but come a prime time we needed to do it they didn’t. Thats where those 2 points were dropped. Just kill the fucking game.

A4E - fair enough, we have definitely conceded a few at the end but it has become much rarer (I am pretty sure that we don’t lead the “points lost from winning / drawing positions stats any more). Today, after the first goal was the first time this season that it seemed inevitable we would concede like that.

Final nails going in the autos coffin. It went to shit after Hutch went off to my eye. Wasn't convincing before hand mind. Maycock the biggest disappointment, was looking forward to seeing what he'd do, absolutely invisible.
