Hence off the bench

Surely we have to start Youri if he is fit. For all that people have complained about his form this season, the game against Chelsea demonstrated in spades that without him we really struggle to build play through the thirds effectively. A key aim this summer will be finding a player to replace him who can enable us to do that and ideally is more dynamic and mobile than Youri. That won't be easy with our budget.

Suggest you read the post match thread. I did this and duly got criticised

birches run starts at 3 45 and ends at 3 50 as long as there are no injuries or medical time outs

[Md9]

Finish the season with a vardy hat trick and an entertaining 6-5 win Job done nice big summer rest and back to winning the league again next season 😂

[LaCiudad]

Any beers and cakes from Top before the game?

[Ian Nacho]

These are pants. 4-0.

[Wymsey]

More chance of Schmiechel scoring a hat-trick.

 

In 20 years, we've only had one proper pitch invasion  (2014 after we beat Donny Rovers 1-0).

We’ve had even less to celebrate than Everton or Forest 🤣

I'm not giving him anything for five minutes, he may as well phone it in

I’ll give you whatever you want ….

[majaco]

Who is coming on to say goodbye?

 

I think Choudhury may get a farewell five minutes.  

 

Will Schmeichel do an emotional circuit at the end of the game?

 

Will Vestegaard give a little wave from behind the dug-out?

yes pitch invasion for finishing 8th plz

[Haywood_6]

Pitch invasion if we don't concede from a set piece

[fox_up_north]

Pitch invasion is the ultimate sign you're a small time club whose glory days are long gone.

 

Isn't that right, Everton and Forest?

For me, I would like the fans to really go over the top with the ironic cheers we've been doing after defending a set piece.

Go crazy like we've scored or Kasper has saved a pen.

[LestaAl]

would be great to end the season with….  
..a Jamie hat trick

…Kasper to venture beyond the 6 yd box

…BR to forget his notebook

 

If Forest could also stay down too that would be perfect.

 

[whoareyaaa]

4-0

What total BS! Top half of the prem, semi final of a European competition and a round silvery thing in the trophy cabinet. Your sense of perspective is skewed at best.

Just go for a non specific 10-0 result, less payout but 3 times the chances of winning, synchronicity adjusted 

[Aus Fox]

Ideally, start strongest available 11, be 2 up at half time and then throw in Brunt, Alves and Braybrooke at half time.

Definitely won't be easy and I'd be amazed if we could attract someone like that. 

 

We'd have to take a chance on someone unproven or who is it of favour like we did with youri.
