And that's all hopes of promotion over

Hooray we won't be getting battered in the Prem next season! We can stick to being mediocre in the Championship instead 🙃

I shan't believe it until Lakey says so.

Where are you Lakey ?

[Dean Coneys boots 1,533]

Not on paper but if you can’t beat QPR…

[S_81 1,107]

Mediocre is optimistic given Webber is going to sell whatever left of value we have this summer and then replace it with the usual worse players. 
I honestly think we could be in a relegation fight in the next two years at this rate.

He’s busy happy clapping at a point that he’ll believe keeps us in it

He's currently curled up in a ball in the corner of his living room, sobbing, while stroking his Farke bobble head.

Just needs Russel Martin's Swansea to finally end all hopes at fortress Carrow Rd on Saturday. Should be a fairly tasty atmosphere!

Two from seven for fifth and sixth, sorry to tell you we’re still in it

The funny thing is that it isn't, mathematically. We're two points short of the top six. Had we got a late winner tonight we'd have been in the play-off places. To be honest, I wish it was over. This is unbearable.

Surely it's time for the ire to be directed Webber's way. It did start in the Blackburn game, but the majority of it was directed at Smith. It's probably why he sacked him, because his ego couldn't stomach facing that level of vitriol in the following home game.

Is there anyone who can't see that happening?

I agree it should be over and in al honesty I wish it was! It’s been an absolutely rubbish season and to be quite frank the team is utter pants.

But it’s funny what different perspectives does… I’ve quite a few mates who are coventry fans. They’re on same points as us and drew last night with a last minute equaliser by their goalie I think. They’re all delirious with excitement and talking about having  to cancel holidays at the end of May!!

Odd that it may seem, I have a life outside football and could not follow the match apart from checking the final score and focus on it until this morning.

For what it's worth, yes, I think that was our final chance of getting into the play offs blown. Simply failed to win too many matches we really should have done given the quality of the players we have. 

Wagner has failed where Alex Neil succeeded by coming into the season part the way through and not kicking us on enough. I don't fully blame Wagner, I think the problems are varied, but he has not looked to know how to get the best out of the players, apart from that initial golden two or three weeks when he first arrived. 

Alex Neil took the squad by the scruff of the neck and got them performing no nonsense football when he came in that season and we probably needed someone like him rather than Wagner.  Even someone like Warnock would have got a tune out of the players imo. Wagner, as said elsewhere, probably needs a whole season with some new players and a good pre-season to instill his principles.

So yes, that looks it to me for this season, still technically possible, but three wins to give us 71 points will not be enough and even if it was, we don't deserve it......and we won't look as if we can win one game, let alone 3 games in a row now.

[Capt. Pants 5,017]

The stars almost perfectly aligned the past two days; all we had to do was beat a League One team and we'd be 6th.

It's still mathematically possible but our team is broken for this season. I'm glad it will be over soon and a summer to look forward to.

Fear ye not Robert. It is over and was many games ago. We needed 2 pts a game weeks ago to catch up and haven’t got anywhere near it . 
It’s dreadful.

Yes, the exact scenario we needed. All we had to do was win!
