There’s not much I can add except I was resigned to losing when we were 1-0 up and as the second half wore on we couldn’t score a second. I felt sure Villa would equalise in those 40 minutes Brunt was off the pitch.
For me, the damage was done (1) in our home form over the season, then (2) with Gayle’s stupid sending-off on Saturday, ruling him out last night and for the play-off final. All in all, I don’t think we deserved to go up.
Finally, can we say a massive thank-you to our own Ska’d for his great match threads throughout the season, culminating with this play-off thread. Thanks, Ska’d, and I hope you continue them next season as well. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
