When is likely to start, the away end yesterday was like a morgue behind the nets, only a handful of us on the side of the pitch trying to make an atmosphere, it was basically the same at last home game, we're champions ffs, if we can't celebrate that and enjoy the moment (no matter what the scoreline is) what's the season all been for ??

I do agree. Apart from your side of the pitch it was very flat. That is, apart from one fan trying to fight with other fans - he was a total embarrassment

Great friendly atmosphere outside their spots bat, Stones fans very friendly before and after game. Good to see the Kirk's and Directors mixing with the fans even during the game. There was lovely vibes coming from them that they really do care for the club and its fans.

Didn't see that? And there's only so much you can do, if nobody is joining in with ya it gets to a point where ya think there's no reason to try anymore.. there was about a 1000 there and only 40/50 ,trying to make it a party.. the sports bar was a better atmosphere before KO

It certainly came across as flat as a pancake but If the players don't turn up for the party then you can hardly blame the fans as they watched their heroes stroll about the pitch

Well, I made an effort and came in fancy dress. It's been a great season and I just wanted to cavort through London in a dubious frock to celebrate 👗

Had a great day. Absolutely cream crackered when I got home. Then realised that I had to be at the blood donor centre at ten past eight this morning 🤦😬

I doubt he’ll remember much of it from what I saw.

Felt sorry for the young lad he was with.

And yet, if you put yourself in Cook's position you'd do exactly what he's done - the same as any manager who has nowt to play for, including them already relegated.
All current decisions have to be about planning for next season, nowt else.

So....

Don't even consider any player not 100% fit.
Don't do anything reckless that might result in injury.
is there any future at all for Banks and Oldaker in defensive CM?
can Quigley lead the line Grigg style or do we need a better Plan B?
should we be in for Conn-Clarke 'cos he's better than Jacobs?
Is our 3rd choice keeper good enough?

......and things along those lines.
