Supposedly neutral, I wanted you to win. It's bad enough supporting a club that finds itself going into a play-off with an injury list that rules out the first three choices for centre forward, two centre backs, a full back and a couple of midfielders, but watching a club you are fond of seemingly handicap itself before kicking off in it's own finale, rubs salt into the wound.

I was all for you putting in Naby Sarr to combat Keinan Davis, but as it turned out I think I could have marked him. How anyone could have conceived of leaving out Russell for Hogg was beyond me, and how Koroma is not even in the running for a game like that makes me ask questions. But it made for a very strange game and Corboran's plan? all but worked. Certainly you should have had at least one penalty. The goal you conceded was very unfortunate. Of Forest's star players both Davis and Johnson remained invisible. Sorba Thomas caused panic throughout, but you don't play anyone for him to play in on goal when they defend like Forest. You needed Russell's passing, but you got Boss Hogg's commitment. You desperately need someone who in tight areas up front who can conjure space.

Forest dominated possession, because you let them. That's fine. It works and it did work, but they snatched a goal from fresh air and you weren't good enough to grab something similar. Corboran has performed wonders. I hope you can keep him, don't forget you almost created a miracle on zero resources. You were a throw of the dice, or a blast on Jon Moss's whistle away. I do wish it had been otherwise, but congratulations on a BRILLIANT SEASON.
