Have heard a theory that they are merely keeping their powder dry in the hope that their playoff opponents forget what they're like when they're trying. I'm not convinced

Whatever happens this season, they'll still never be doubled in the league. That in itself is pretty important if you think about it.

The most important thing marra. Let’s not be worried about titles, European competitions and domestic cups when not getting beat twice by the same team is the high watermark and ultimate sign of an elite team.

They've completely lost it on rtg. Everyone being attacked. Players, fans, owners, manager and each other. 

 

Seems like Rigg has being exposed to their famous 'support', same as Watson earlier in the month, with a flair up as he walked to the tunnel and then a dust up in the stands.

 

4th not good enough. Booing all round. Boring & timid manager. Weak minded players who should be soldier and give it 100% in every situation. 

 

Big gamble by le piss, easing off going into the playoffs after securing their spot, but don't think he had much option. Team was and still is mentally and physically drained, probably to do with a lot of youth players in the squad holding key positions. Question is whether the rest has worked. Or now they are in a rut. Big issue for them is not many have dealt with playoffs or promotions finals, especially at this level. Most expensive final in world football. There's a lot on it. 

 

Promotion is a death sentence to their pretence that they can compete in the PL and that thry belong. I think this is the main worry for them. Be a lot of players and fans secretly not wanting this, including the owner as he'll need to spend, even if he's planning to sell or just cash in, some level of investment will be needed. Players will demand new contracts with release clauses, the manager wont see the season out, and the fans are going to be irate getting bumped every week. If they miss out on promotion, they can have a rant, blame each other, then go again next season where they can carry on the delusion they belong in the top league, and I think that suits them best.

Boro beat Coventry whilst Millwall and Blackburn lose to Burnley and Sheff U and the Tees-Wear final is on

The Beasts are such chokers. They’ll fold against Coventry.
