Agree again. When it turned out to be Walsall we faced I felt we had a really good chance to get to Wembley , I appreciate they’d had the better of it over the 2 games previous and they were the best team to come here this season when we managed to get a draw but considering what they’d done in the second half of the season and then dropping out the autos with about 30 seconds of the season to go, I just thought if we put it on them and got a goal they’d crumble but it never really came . The penalty was the turning point for me. Credit to them , they’ve had major disappointment over the last few months but they were solid when they needed to be. It is what it is tho. It’s done. Coyb.

You mention the penalty being the turning point… I think Colclough’s chance was the game changer, going for power straight down the keepers throat over precision. I think with a bit more composure or if that chance had fell to Grigg its 1-0 and a totally different game!!

Apologies if it's already been brought up (there's a lot of posts) but it appears Lewis Gordon was racially abused at around the 13th minute with monkey noises

Our fans always amaze me. Against all the odds we got to the play offs. We lost to a side that has been in the autos for most of the season. However to some the season has been a disaster, the manager is rubbish, players a crap. Etc etc. With the injuries what did you really expect? For me it's been a good season back in the league.

If people think this season has been a disaster they clearly don't understand football.

Yes. I thought that I saw and just about heard that on 12 minutes something. I watched it back this morning. A person in the crowd starts with what looks like a V sign...

Hopefully grabbed by the Fuzz and watching Walsall at Wembley from afar after an immediate ban...

Lewis seems to be a decent levelheaded bloke, because he could have reacted to what occurred at the time. It's strange that supporters target opposition players of a certain colour but are happy to support their own. It's about time that all this type of display of hate should be met with lengthy bans from every football ground, a substantial fine, and a face to face apology.

Only briefly but does the chap in the light blue top stipple behind him show his disdain?

Can you imagine how those that say Cook doesnt know what he's doing would react if he publicly told them how to do thier jobs.

People sticking up for him on twitter saying he is booing. You don’t boo by going boo boo boo quickly. You can quite clearly see he is going “ooh ooh ooh” then looks round laughing for some sort of validation.

Their fans in general were shocking last night and also were at the league game in February. I hope Wimbledon smash them at Wembley.

Totally agree. You don’t boo then look for validation from the other numpties

I’m not sure we can give a conclusive answer either way purely based on that video.

Someone around him would have to report him I suspect and by the look of those he's sharing a joke with they aren't the kind.

City playing in the final 3rd miles more than we did. Palace defending well. Walsall had to deal with us playing across our back line and then into midfield. Not been camped this much in someone’s final 3rd since we played Carlisle at home. In fact in the 2 play off games I can’t remember any sort of sustained pressure where we had this much play in that area.
