Superb post Shabby.
You’ve summed up the whole conundrum of the vacuous state of top end professional football in this country now.
I’ve all manner of mixed emotions after today but ultimately I want a successful Albion and with a heavy heart I want us promoted but I know a season in the Championship next season feels far more appealing.
Looking forward to a rebuild whatever the outcome.
I won’t be watching Hull later. Whatever will be will be.

I've never expected us to go up this season so won't be disappointed if/when we lose in the play offs . However, I'd be pretty gutted to miss out on the play offs altogether having been in the top 6 for the majority of the season.

If we miss out on the playoffs then that says it all about this group of players .I don't mind losing in the playoffs but not to secure a place from the position we were in then I will be glad to see the back of a lot of the players .

I thought i'd be bothered by us potentially dropping out of the play-offs having been in them most of the year.
But i genuinely aren't.
Sorry.
If we end up in them, fine. I'll be at the home leg and a final if we make it. If we aren't, i'll be on the golf course or in the garden or in the pub. No biggie.

We need to avoid defeat next week. That's it. Despite this weird cohort of Bartley, Townsend, Furlong and Phillips regularly bottling any remotely important game I feel Corberán will get us over the line.
He will then need a masterclass over 2 legs and then it's a lottery at Wembley. I have far more faith in the coach than I do any of these players.

I wonder what the Southampton forums are saying tonight? Or the Leeds ones?
Just grab that point saturday and take it from there.
