Who/what? The playoffs in general?
Yeah. Even the batterings that Crawley dished out were not very entertaining and not an enticing spectacle.
The Championship games were as dull as usual, and suspect the final will be a bore-fest.
Bolton were a disgrace today. Didn't show any intent or attempt to win that game, even when behind with 15 minutes left they had zero urgency to try to score. Evatt has failed three years in a row with them now and won't do it next year either. They need to move on if they want to go up.

Bolton were exceptionally poor. Feel a bit for Evatt, I quite like him but his players let him down today.
I’d like Crawley to do it for Lindsey tomorrow. I think this may be the best of the 3 finals.
I’d take Leeds over Southampton.

I have never found a single thing likeable about Evatt. Please explain your workings?

Recency bias…..he was one of the few managers who were complimentary about us this season.

All credit to Oxford though. Think they'll be like how Wycombe were a few years ago in the championship, and find it very difficult.

They absolutely deserved to win, and set themselves up very well in order to do so, but the match was incredibly boring.

Yes it wasn't the best of games. Tomorrow's one will be interesting with the way Crawley play attacking and entertaining football.

Yes, it’s a big jump up in quality.
When Oxford came to us in September I thought they looked really strong but I’ve not been overly impressed with them whenever I’ve seen them since then.
To be honest, Pompey aside, I don’t think any of the other league 1 sides have been particularly impressive.

Even Pompey weren't impressive in two games against us.
The only sides who really stood out as being a quality above were Oxford and Posh, both in the home games (neither in the away games).
The season just gone truly was a huge chance for us to get promoted in one of the weakest divisions for some time, and we absolutely blew it, and won't get that chance again.

Agree about Pompey in the games against us but overall they were the only team who showed some sort of competence in getting the job done, particularly with an inexperienced manager and a fan base that expected.
League 1 will be much stronger next year, no question.

He didn't say serial bottlers.
You could bottle it once at Wembley and be a Wembley bottler.

Lolz. You do this every single time anybody responds to you in a manner that isn't total agreement, regardless of whether it is me or anybody else, and you take great issue with them/it.
Don't be so bloody fragile.

Our playoff record since the turn of the century is hardly great (1 promotion from 5 play offs).

They need to check it is not his twin brother playing instead.
But I will laugh if Bolton don’t go up especially after celebrating on the pitch after there semi final. It was like they had already gone up that night.

I read this happened at Dinamo Bucharest with ex Barca defender Edgar La. He sent his brother other to play for them.
